I am not sure that i have the right word in my English vocabulary, let's just say that SK's gameplay is way too sloppy and - um, secondary? - to be considered good for me and I do not understand why everyone is so hyped about it. :P

That was just my opinion, not that I'm better than you at pixeling the arts. It does look good, you can clearly make out the shapes and form of the figure. I was just saying what I would have done I guess. But I do like this pixel art. :)

Thanks, though your comment did make me curious. What exactly did you not like with the gameplay of Shovel Knight?

The thing is, I tried to be minimalistic with the color use, well more economic I guess. I considered giving her an actual skin tone, but that would use an extra color that would only be used for the face. Seeing how the character is supposed to have a pale complexion anyway, I decided to use the white color I used for the armor on the face as well. 

You have done well in imitating Shovel Knight's style, but, if this will ever become a game, please try not to imitate it's crappy gameplay :P

I like how there are different weapons and colors to distinguish them and the possible game mechanics that could  create an interesting game. But I think the black and white should only be left for maybe the hair and outfit. I think the face needs a bit of color to it. That may just be me though.
