Just an emotive, minimalistic portrayal of someone I know personally.

 I personally wouldn't call it minimalistic; when I hear that word I think of the likes of Donald Judd et cetera. I reckon with a few extra pixel here 'n' there, this could be quite realistic form of art. Definitions aside, it's not a bad piece. I like the texture of the blue surface she's sitting on.

I know I messed up a lot of things... but I am very new to pixel art still... and even art in general. If you would comment with somethings that I could do to improve the piece (like C+C) it would be great. I don't like the shading at all... well I like the way I did the lower legs (That's where I started) but they probably aren't good :(

As for minimalism, those examples are to the extreme ends of minimalism, my picture just touches minimalism, lack of background, lack of color (gray particulary).
I guess minimalism is what you make it... or am I going over my own head?

Cool.  Thanks!!  This will really help me and the other members here to know what they're clicking on and will certainly improve feedback.   Now, to the art. 

You certainly have a free-thinking, artistic mind.  I don't know, maybe it's above and beyond me, but I'm not sure what to say.  It doesn't look....well....professional.  The character is off-balance.  It isn't shaded too well.  Minimalism does not only mean an emphasis of pure, reduced forms, it also means strict, systematic compositions.  It emphasizes art where the individual elements of a subject are diminished.  I'm not quite certain, but I think you're confused on what minimalism really looks like.  Here are some examples:

Again, maybe your artistic ideas are too far over my head, but that's how I see it.

The thumbnail doesn't look like the detail view.  Can you fix this?
