hey, I took the time to clean up your lines. i1034.photobucket.com/albums/a426/Zach_Masta/puppet-1.png
Great for a first try. If you clean up the double pixel outlines that are left in some places, this will look even better.
i agree with CELS, a little AA in the outline is helpfull
It's an awesome design, but the outline is a bit excessive and there are some jaggies. Also, I can't quite make sense of the torso. Still, this has a lot of potential.
Thanks everyone for comments. They are all very important for me.
