General suggestions, comments etc. would be appreciated.

For the old guy, any advice as to his limbs? I'm not happy with them them yet and perhaps they look too static or rigid, especially his right arm (that's his right, screen left).

Backgrounds will be transparent probably.

Only one thing to say : Finish your grandpa, it gonna rock... Seriously, It's a good lineart and you seem good coloring (head)... That would give a really great sprite I think...
For the right arm, just put him a wood stick on his hand and everything will be clever ^^
Keep on great work...

Thankyou, both of you, I'll update when when there's been progress worth updating for.

Oh, and Jalonso, I meant "probably transparent", as opposed to a particular background which I drew. I don't want no trouble.

Update: Thoughts?

It's meant to be a safari-style outift, considering changing the shirt to something more interesting, an aloha shirt etc.

Increase the contrast by making the darks darker. Right now your pixelling isn't too bad but the darker colors are too close to the light ones, making it hard to tell what's what or discern details.

Monkey 'o Doom - thanks for the input, I haven't got around to adjusting the contrast yet but will do.

In the meantime, I tried a dithered version which, I think is an improvement.

And here's a ukulele, thoughts appreciated.

Perhaps it's a bit too dark.

your ramp of 6 yellows aren't completely distinguishable. I say make the darkest one darker and then change the hues and light a bit on some of the others. Right now I can really see the details of his shirt too clearly as it is because of this.
