I would recommend doing a it of a subtle blend out to the edges so it doesn't look so abrupt.

Adding a little detail to the snow and maybe some other element like a snowman or something might be cool too.

it doesn't look like he's peeing ON the snowman, but near it... I think it would be funnier if you moved the dog up and to (your) left a few pixels, so that you could see the yellow on the snowman, not next to it.

To be perfectly honest, I don't think this is truelly pixel art. There are 256 colors used, and to me, it just doesn't look like pixel art.

I dislike the way the dog and the snowman aren't in the same style, it makes the dog look like if he was, kind of, less detailed than the rest of the piece.

Again, I state my comment.

To be perfectly honest, I don't think this is truelly pixel art. There are 256 colors used, and to me, it just doesn't look like pixel art.

You just kinda skipped over it, you didn't even ecknowledge my post.

perhaps your comment did not warrant acknowledgment.

I get accused of this sort of treachery and lying all the time, and I'M already sick of it, despite the fact I've only been here a short while.
so
Perhaps Shark is sick of it as well.
or
Perhaps this is the sort of this better addressed in a private message as public accusations are rarely, in my experience, taken well or appreciated.

also, for sheer interest's sake, how did you count all the colours? and why did you bother?

1. Most normal human beings can not pick colors the close together and still have them different or won't spend the time to do so.

2. In Graphics Gale, there is a thing you can click that counts the colors.

3. And the main thing that strikes me odd, is, the difference in quality between the walls and the dog. The dog is pixel art, I don't believe that the walls and snowman are.

this isn't pixel art.. I have to agree. It will not be approved whatsoever. This thread is closed.
