	well, in every piece is way too much colors. If you have many similar colors why not to use one of them if its not changing quality of the picture? Needs AA alot. There is pretty much jaggies on lines. Needs proper light sources and more intresting colors. Otherwise very nice portraits and reads well. Oh, needs more contrast too :) There is good tutorias at "resource and support" section. :)

	Most noticably in your tree piece, your colours are pretty bland. They just go straight from light to dark like a gradient. I think it's definitely worth checking out Cure's pixel art tutorial here. Scroll all the way to the bottom and take a look at hue shifting. Hue shifting really brings the pieces to life. will come back to this reminder: sizeeee
