Very cute :) The trunk is well shaded.

 I like limits, and doing larger things breaks that open. I find doing larger art that isn't hand-drawn or vectorized (like in flash) annoying, not because I can't do it (well) but I'm not comfortable doing large stuff at all.

To me, pixel art is meant to be small. Until I found Pixeljoint I didn't know pixel art was considered anything more than things less than 100x100 or so. Now I have to refer to my work as 'micro pixel art'.. still a strange term to me. Ah well.. all in all I like to do small.

 I think it looks fine, too. You sure should try something larger although you told me you cannot or maybe you dont want to? 

 Really?  I think it looks fine.. I was kinda limited in size anyways :P We were only allowed to work to a certain height.

It's nice, but either the trunk seems too big, or the part with all the leaves seems too small...
