Hey everyone this is my first post here! A friend of mine showed me this site yesterday and told me I should join. 
 
 I feel like I am almost done with this, but it does need a bit more.

Earring should move in the opposite way. When head goes forward earring should go back.
  Also leg movement is very strange, you have enough frames to create nice walk cycle. Feet change position drastically between frame 2 and 3, and later between 4-th and 5-th frame changes are almost unnoticeable. Changes should be more symmetrical.
   You should look at some references. Also post your art in original size so we can make edits. This forum have left click zoom in option.

Hey Alex it's Derek. I introduced Alex to PJ so he is new to the forum posting standards.
  Yeah please post a 1x zoom regular resolution of the sprite so I can easily make edits, otherwise I have to like do an extra step of resizing the sprite myself before I can edit it and show you some things I would do differently.
  Alex's digital illustration is wicked, he is just new to spriting and pixel art low-fidelity.

OT: Welcome to Pixeljoint. We had to send your avatar submission back, k. That is not considered pixelart.

jalonso: Hey thanks this is a pretty cool place! About the image I'll remember that in the future.
 
 Started to redesign her and redue the frames with the feedback I had gotten.

Oh wow Alex that update is off the hook!
 I really like the redesign without the black outline, and the cycle is nice an bouncy.
  I think the blue lock of hair jumps a little far back but other than that great progress.

Nice animation, i like it!
 To center an animation might be a good thing for spotting mistakes and stuff.
 For example, you may notice that red lock drawn equally on 10th and 1st frames which is making that "freezing" effect since they're coming after each other.
  
 If you just slightly chande that lock on 1st frame, animation would look much better.
 Also, you missed shadow on face on some frames.

RebelLeion: Thanks man!
 
 Souly: Thanks dude! Yeah I wanted to get rid of the black outline it wasnt working for me. About the hair lock I agree yeah it's not quite right to me looking at it now.
 
 Finlal:
 Wow thanks Finlal that edit looks great! I can see what you mean about the locking now.
 
  Going to have one last look at it tonight before calling it done.
