Raziel :: Pixel Art Detail

Other than the eyes, this actually isn't that bad. Have you ever considered spriting Kain?

I know I know, but this piece is just old >.<
I was a freakin noob back then, now I'm just bad.

yeah you do that cuz I love Raziel, and am some what offended that he has that kind of face :S
nice try but anatomy and lightsource arent correct either

Thank you, it's this kind of message which will help me. I'll try to correct all the things you pointed out  ^^

OK, you want critique, so here we go :D
One problem with your shading is that different shades are too contrasting, i.e. the highlights on his thighs are TOO light. Second, they don't create the illusion of volume. The point of shading is to make the object 'jump out' of the page. You need to clearly define a light source, because currently shading appears somewhat random.
Another thing, the inside of the cape is too close to the body color, so at this scale they pretty much merge.
The face worries me a little. His eyes are too close and he looks like a weird smiley.
