His name is Roy, and he's some weird lizard thing... I think.

 

My first attempt at designing a 16 by 16 sprite, since I decided if I was gonna do a first game, it'd be something small and simple that I can fully manage and be able to express a few design concepts that I want to see how well they work in a game, and these tiny image sizes definitely make for easier animating and more interesting, elegant and simplistic designs. Also, it could help keep things neater and aligned. Got the idea to go ahead with this after reading this blog article: http://electromagneticproject.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/character-sprites-hana-za-chan/

I like this =)

There's something wrong in the way the eyes move, can't pinpoint what.
Highlights on the top of the head and maybe other upward facing places would help with volume.
The palette could use some hue shifting too.

 I actualy am making an action/adventure/puzzle platformer (pretty much going for a kind of game I'd have fun playing myself). I don't have any official development blog or anything yet, but I am going to post relevant stuff on my normal blog (which is linked in my profile), though might start up the dev blog some time soon.

 Ah , ok . Well , I hope you won't stop making things like these . Becuse it looks realy cute and so . Also the pallet looks realy nice for smaller sprites like this one . But , what kind of game are you thinking about ? Like a platformer? Becuse if so , then I would love to see what concept you are making and what you will make next . (I love platformer games . ) But don't let me getting you into making a platformer just becuse I say so . Do what you wan't to do . But do more of it . :)

 When I said that you didn't put alot of work into then I didn't mean that it was bad or so . I know that it can be a twist making sprites with out the proper imagination . Someday I hope I'll get some of that imagination , becuse it sure helps . Well , it is realy cute . I don't think that there is anything wrong with it . Only that you could have a outline with one color , then the normal color , then the white eye color , but that is prity much all that you need . Though it looks nice so don't bother changing it if you don't wan't to . ;) All I am saying is that on the next artwork you make , then maybe you should cut down the colors a bit . Or it will get realy frusterating at the end . Belive me . ;) (Hope my messages aren't to long , if so , then I will shorten then up for you in the future .)

 I actually spent about an hour and a half drawing over and over again until I got to something I felt okay with, though it is pretty simple compared to a few of the ones I drew trying to get to this. Also, about the coloring, if I brought that down to 4, it looks pretty flat and dull compared to some of the other stuff I'm working on for this game, since 4 colors only leave room for the outline, the white, the fill color, and alpha, and I wouldn't be able to shade it in any way or add the detail under the eyes. I could try simplifying the shading and taking it down to 6 colors. Thank you very much for the comment, though! I could always use suggestions.
