I thought it was supposed to be like an oil fire making a smokey background, like this-

| Looks much better. The moon is quite nice. If that's a bullet, perhaps rid of it or add flash from the gun? Also you can mix both the color of the sand and the dark background together to create a good color for what can be used as background sand hills to give the piece more debth. Keep it up! |

I think pixel art was too "empty" so I decided to shoot the soldier.

| I think you should texture the ground more :) |

| I think there must be more light in this picture. More light straight from the moon (blue light). this means more shadows on the ground too. |

| Do not you think that the bursting of the bullet should illuminate the ground too? From what I see only lights the soldier. |

the composition is really boring now...
the way u cropped it makes it look very cramped also it looks flat.. create more depth, i.e. by adding more dunes further away in the backgound (like delicious suggested...) heres a quick edit ... i thought could be cool to add a little animation too...

| More what I still do not understand is that if he is alone because he is shooting? Is he crazy? |

| Onek, is because they only need 17 colors, otherwise I would use a different color, and Junior is for promotion alone! |

| Do not look for more colors, you can use the reflection color of clothes on the floor, try to find a tone color that will match, try to do what their colors will be kept to a minimum. |

| How many frames are you using? Maybe you could add some more animation like some fast moving clouds or bullets flying through the air. |

Something like this perhaps

| I used 17 frames to shoot fast and then stop a little, but I'll do more animation! |

Why not have some casings already on the ground so that it loops? His shadow, especially by the feet/legs is a bit too light, and I reckon the muzzle flash is too big. Lots of improvement so far, keep it up :) |
