Fantastic, the only thing for me is that the lack of AA is really jarring on the upper line of the inside of the ear, and on the red stripe on the back.  But still really, really good.

Gorgeous character work.  I agree with the others on the weapon hold, though.  If these are slashing weapons, her right wrist should be turned so that her knuckles are down and the flamingo points away from her body.  Her other (left) hand is positioned just fine, but the flamingo should be the other way around in it, business end out.

Of course, maybe your flamingos observe strange wonderland physics that make them more effective the way she's got them, I don't know. ^_^

Fantastic use of the limited palette!

Gorgeous, the only thing is the way the fabric piece doesn't really seem to have dimension to it, no shading, no gathers or weight...  But I'm not sure how you'd fix that, in your other pieces you use some fantastic dithering to get that effect, but the cloud/dragon pattern would probably get destroyed if you dithered over it.

Thanks, I appreciate it!  I think the ones that I was most unsure of were a couple of the elemental symbols (air, water, rock) and the bow and arrow and the quill.  But given a little context, you can see what they are. 

I think the animation is a good idea, since I haven't done any pixels with animation yet that'll be another learning step for me. :)

I can see where you had trouble with the contrast, you probably wanted it to be dark with some bright highlights, but you couldn't get your color ramps where you wanted them without reworking the whole thing and adding too many colors.   I loaded it in grafx2 and messed with the palette and I can see how the detail in the face is ruined when you brighten the lightest of your four browns...

I think the head looks cool, but it's a completely different style than the rest of the piece.  You've got a gritty, dark robot head with charming imperfections in a completely flat pink space, with a tiny dollhouse-perfect window in the upper corner.  I'd prefer to have seen just the head without the window.

Forgot to hit reply, sorry, I'm a noob. :] (see my non-reply comment)

Nice, the highlights and dithering make him look metallic.  Reminds me of the Silver Surfer.

The Japanese says "Chocobo Knight", or something similar.  You'd have to ask a Japanese person if they agree with that translation
