looks more like an oekaki to me.

Weekly showcase is below par this week, people must be busy with Xmas.

Nice pixels and certainly looks better than the garbage shown in the screenshot you've linked to. I wish people would stop and appreciate the craft and what it can do for a 2D game (i.e; making it timeless) rather than going for the time-saving, corner cutting approach of 3D. 

Thank you for your comments so far, I've polished/tweaked/edited over the last couple days and I think I can call it done for now until I inevitably revisit the piece at some point!

Thanks for the feedback, I am pretty new to pixelling but from an illustration background; this is probably my fourth or fifth attempt at pixelling and my second attempt at AA and I think it shows the lack of confidence I have with the technique, I agree on the blurriness issue theres an area on the left shoulder where I can see this quite clearly. I struggle to know when to AA and when not to and I think also in the attempt to be too scientific and using AA on pixels with two surrounding colours I have unwittingly expanded the palette beyond intention. I will tighten the piece up in the coming days and see if I can polish it. 16 colours sounds good, I'll try and work to that restriction :)

EDIT: should have fixed the colours now have uploaded the reiteration
