The bandaid...or whatever that may be that's on his face looks...too flat, like it's not a part of the picture. I think try to have it ... curve more with his face (using shading).

The bright shirt seems a bit odd with the rest of the piece, especially with the black outline (which I assume is just part of the style), but that's just me. Also, one of the colors on his helmet seems a bit uneeded, but it does make a difference, so I can see why you put it. :P

...Yes. xD Maybe round out his helmet a bit more so the lines just aren't so jagged. The light source seems a bit iffy, but I'm not quite sure.

Ehhh... I like it, but, yes. xD;;

Is there going to be a background? :)

No background

Thanks for your comment, yes what you actually said about it is true. I saw that too, i just did not know if i needed to improve it.

I cant really get the bandaid shaded, not much room...Maybe if you wanna help, you can do it :P Just asking.

I was thinking about re coloring the shirt to sea blue. With some sort of flowers.

The helmet is fine i liked it that way.

All right, I think you really need to lower the color count. D: Sorry. :/

For example, you can use colors from the bandaid for the shorts. You may want to get rid of that color that's used on the helmet (that I said was a bit unnecessary), or use it somewhere else in the piece.

But maybe I'm being too hard on someone new to pixel art. XP I'm not sure. *Has horrible pixel art etiquette/netiquette*

You're not supposed to use what I edit exactly. Instead, use it as a reference for your own edits.

Just edited the bandaid.

Try to make a wholo vetran.
Use some colours of the helmet into the shirt and his trouwser.
Then It looks like more realistic. But that my style of arting.
Don't k now your style.
