	What the fudge is up with your pixels? What format do you save this image in? You should only save pixel art in either .png or .gif formats. It's so weird... It looks like the donut is the only part of the image that isn't fudged up. Also, please use an image hosting software that doesn't direct you to the site upon clicking it. Try imgur.com instead and the drawing is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too large. Pixel art is generally small by nature, and if you're just doing a single character, it is normal to have an image that is only 150x150 or even smaller. I'd say restart at that kind of size. ESPECIALLY since you're new to pixel art. As for the art itself, it has a LONG way to go, but you should get the image saving and proper format down pact before we move on to helping improve the art.

	? .. It doesn't matter what image hosting site you use, but it is very helpful and 100 times better if you choose one that doesn't open up a new page. Again, try imgur.com. And again I demand you to resubmit the image in proper .png format. The problem with saving images in other formats is that it messes with the quality of the image, thus adding colors and ruining the resolution and look of your pixel art.

	I am actually uncertain if you're just messing around or you are seriously looking for criticism... However, either way, it's very clear that no effort was put into this pixel. I must say that I do like it, though. Very humerus. I recommend you find out what pixel art is before you go ahead and try to produce some. Check out Pixeljoints Resources and Support forum for some good tutorials.

	*Originally posted by Zeratanus* stop feeding trolls. just... please... Duly noted Though to be honest, it's hard to tell at first if someone is just very young, highly inexperienced or misunderstanding, or just a troll
