	I think if you moved the (entire) leg on our left in 2 or 3 pixels to the right it'd look much better, right now his crotch is a bit wide. arms seem a bit short/stubby/forearm on left a bit skinny. it seems the arms are simplified into upper arm/lower arm, but if more attention were paid to how the muscles were truly at/behaving they'd look much better (also includes shoulders/traps). The chest feels like it should be a tiny bit less head-on and a tad more 3/4ths. Edited by ThereIsNoCure - 05 January 2010 at 10:26am

	I think the colors are too similar all over, it looks sort of like a bronze statue. I did this edit to add more colors, and then noticed you were limited to only 10 colors though but I still think you could get something similar in 10 colors. Edited by r1k - 05 January 2010 at 11:38am

	@Cure, I tried fixing the anatomy problems, I feel that the anatomy is still off though. @R1k - I have changed the colours around. I have also tried to make his head more pineapply, although I'm still having trouble getting the pineapple texture to be more apparent.

	*Originally posted by skamocore* I have also tried to make his head more pineapply, although I'm still having trouble getting the pineapple texture to be more apparent. It does look pretty pine-appley already. I tried something with just altering the head colors. Maybe it would make it stand out as more of a pineapple head. I also altered the head by a pixel or 2 and made the leaf height a pixel taller too. And just a touch more highlights on the leaves and a touch more texture on the head. This thing is great though.. ha ha

	Thanks dpixel, that was extremely helpful. I was trying to avoid dithering things too much on his face, but what you've done actually works. I'm still trying to stick with 8 colours though (even though the original challenge allows for up to 10). I edited the head, and then I though that perhaps I should make the rest of his body more pineapplesque too...I'm not really sure if I'm heading in the right direction with this though. I think I may have entered dither-hell D:

	GMO gone wild? There's something in your original version, despite its flaws, that makes him more likeable than the new one. Can't point what exactly. Maybe it's just that the new one recalls so many fighting sprites. The first newer one's pose (with wider open legs) looked better than the latest; TINC's point about the crotch might have been better addressed by redrawing the thighs' undersides. Pose and colors were more dynamic. Its main problem was uneven-ness of legs, which you fixed. I'd like to see your current color and shading skills applied to something like the original. =)

	It's tough to get the texture on a small size. I like your edit though. Very pimply, the way a pineapple should be. Another thing is he looks a little stubby. I think it's the thigh part of the legs that's a bit short.

	Alright, I've been working on this some more. Still not as good as I want it to be; the anatomy/stance still seems a little bit off. Current version:

	The pineapple crown does not seem to fit in as well as it could. Maybe it should face forward more like so

	How about more of a boxing pose? Also I think the canvas would need to be a bit taller to fix some anatomy issues. Anyway I made some adjustments on the legs, his right foot and his left arm. All which need work, but you get the idea.

	Still have a bit to go =/ but I think I'm getting there: I changed his stance a bit as per dpixel's suggestion Tweaked some colours Tried to make his head a bit more pineappley, I played around with his 'hair' a bit too, but that mainly involved shifting it slightly and a little bit of tweaking. Also, I should have posted my main Pineapple ref:

	He seems a bit soft and dumpy to me, and his stance doesn't look very solid. Quick'n'dirty edit: His neck went missing in the edit a bit, but yeah.

	update: Hm, I kinda like him a bit beefy, but I've taken up your pants suggestion. Looking back at my last version now, his pants were definitely way too colourful. What I've changed: slightly less dither colour changes played around with our right arm fixed colourful pants *Made him a bit taller I'll try playing around with shoe perspective in the next edit.
