This is such a gorgeous piece. I am rather new to pixel art (I'm a programmer), but have been working on some of the art for a space platformer a friend and I are building. The visual theme we are going for is dark and dreary with vibrant colour highlights. To my untrained eye, some of my creations make me feel more or less successful, considering the aforementioned (I am not an artist).
That being said, seeing at this piece makes me realize how elementary my work is, but it also gives me much hope and inspiration. You have done a wonderful job with this. You should be very proud of yourself.
Funny, I never pictured him as an advanced machine. It's more like a necromantic experiment, a thing that has to drag itself around using that pokey-stick he is holding. But yeah, I could have made it rounder. You have a point.
I love the choice of colors, but the wheels are really off. For this looking like such an advanced machine, those wheels barely qualify as round. Don't get me wrong, I love the rest, can live with the rushed background since it still fits atmospherically, but the wheels just keep me from adding this to my favorites, basically.
I find the green too intense but apart from that it's very original and creative.
Whoa, thanks a lot, man. And by the way, though I have been making pixel art for a very long time, I actually suck at drawing, so don't be discouraged.
My advice: keep lurking here on PJ and visit the forums. Everybody here is awesome and willing to help with criticism and references :) There's tons of knowledge to be found here.
