          | Hi all just registered, I'm making an old school platformer game. I've never done any pixel art (or art of any kind really :P). I started trying to make the main character with GraphicsGale to try and learn this stuff so I can someday hopefully make my own art for my games.
 
 Any good tutorials to check out (creating very simple 8bit style game art)?
 
 Here's my character, hes supposed to have a grey sleeveless top of some kind, grey pants, red gauntlets, purple belt and scabbard for the sword and some white boots. The red/black thing on his back is supposed to look like a cape... :-p
 
 Tips on how to make him look better? the cape is especially hard to make :/ This is the amount of detail I want, no more than 32x32 (I might even reduce the colors to 4 to make it look more like an NES game)

 edit: made the cape and arm bigger  http://postimage.org/">
