	A quick and sloppy edit containing some suggestions. If you did everything you did by now with a purpose, it should not be too hard to find those differences.. If you did not think of every pixel you placed if it was nececerily, it might become harder.

	i see stuff you changed. Eyebrows, nipples, belly button, mouth, nose. you used 1 lighter color when i used 2. What you did with the legs really looks as i imagined how i wanted it to be. Thanks for the helpfull edit. and i normally don't consider each pixel i place, i guess i will have to start doing that. edit: Not as clean as yours, but then you're way better. BTW light is supposed to come straight from above. Edited by minipuck - 19 October 2008 at 5:36am

	Round out the left side of the head, its a straight line and looks unnatural.

	If the light would come from the top, how would there ever fall light on his legs? Take a look at my version again, they look better the tin way too I think.. Also, I would flip his left shoe in your version.

	well i dunno, dude. The head bothers me more than anything so I'll start there: where's his neck?? his forehead seems to run into his hat and then square off to the right. Very unnatural and awkward. Trying drawing a head form over the hat and see how it'd look. You've got the potential for a great piece but I think you need to use a bit more real life reference when dealing with the human form... even in a fantasy image such as this :)

	15 colours is way too many! The two main colours you're using should already be quite similar and you should pick colours that can be reused. I managed to cut it down to 6 colours and did some really rough editing to make the lighting look better and to round things out a little... Made the head fit the body a little more too. Here's a quick edit: Edited by Ravey - 11 November 2008 at 1:47am

	You are doing a good thing revisiting and improving on this pixelart. I think Ravey's edit shows how the pixelling can really improve your art here. Zoom and learn from that. I think that its the somewhat chaotic pixel work that has been most questionable. Be patient.

	Looks to me like 14 colours + transparency. Regardless though, good luck with the new version.
