Hey guys. I hope you don't mind that this image is not a pixel art.
Art is art, right? Especially when it comes to game art. I am a beginner and I want to improve. If you could help me, I would be grateful. 
What should I change/make better? I know there is a lot to improve, but atm I am focusing on finishing his right hand. I find his hand pretty boring, I want to add something to make it more interesting. I consider adding some plastic tubes with green fluid. I should stick to some better palette, though. One more thing. Should I be working with smaller canvas, so I would not have to focus on every small detail? UPDATE: 
Pixel art version |

| I don't think anyone here is going to respond because it's not pixel art. Why not check out DeviantART? |

| Could easily be and look better as a pixel art imo. |

Right now this is pretty hard to read, is that an open mouth? Are the eyes open?
Those are the types of things to consider, readability for the viewer |

Well. I gave pixel art another try.(I fail everytime, when I pick it.)
There is not much, but I'm not sure if I am heading in the right direction? About mouth, eyes. Well I didn't finish those, because I didn't know if I wanted him to be more evil or childish. |

Is the blood on the ground again? Because right now, it looks like it's falling - if it's falling, it's the wrong shape.
I think your line is a bit thick for the right arm. Why not make it a shadow instead, keeping the outline thinner? |

Hey. Thanks for your feedback.
I will rather stick to my new concept. 
Still working on his right hand, though. I think I'm almost there, but it surely needs more improvement.(Head of the hand isn't done yet.) Blood was supposed to be on the ground, is it better now? Cozzmy13 I tried to make the same highlights as yours. |

Again me.
Trying to detail his left hand now, so I can compare them. I want to get cracks on his arm. I would be happy if it looked like lava is moving in his skin? I am not sure about the colors I've chosen. I think I added too many pixels and it isn't clear. I will fix it tomorrow. |

Next Update.
I've dropped the "lava/cracks" idea. Trying to achieve some samurai armor look now. It doesn't look that bad, does it? Need to make gantlets now. I will probably redo his right arm after that:/ |

Sanurai armor looks pretty good.
There is one problem with whole sprite - outline. There is outline on head and half of torso but there's no outline on arms. Try to make it either without any outline or with outline everywhere. |

I'm keeping outline on his head and torso, because I haven't touched them yet. Should I change it asap?
It's easier for me to focus on one thing first. But it may be a bad idea actually. |

Again I have changed my concept. Wow, I find it frustrating.
Need to work on his torso now. I think I will detail him after getting general idea what I want him to look like.

Thanks.
Now I have something like this: 
Not sure if it looks good. I will try to do his head+feet now. After that I'll probably try to shadow everything correctly. Made his head a little bigger, but still need to work on it.

Next Update.
Currently working on his head. 
But I think it's not finished yet. I wanted to give him a helmet. 
Well it doesn't suit him at all. Need to think about something else. Also I think it can be problematic that his skin is red and armor is also red (atm). I want to make a high collar too, but as you can see it's not finished yet. Made his head a bit smaller.

| I feel like his arms wouldn't be in front of his body. Know what I mean? The lines are ahead of the body. I think they'd be next to or even behind a little. Awesome improvement, though! |

Ye, I fixed his arms a bit.
But I can't detail him at all... 
Blue thing under his head is an ascot tie. There is also a small collar(the brown thing). He has also a chauffeur hat. I don't know how to shadow his face properly, neither do I know if his accessories look any good. I'm getting tired of this character and want to start something new. On the other hand, dropping this I will not improve and I'd love to finish it. Any thoughts? Btw. Using db's 32 palette. I really like it so far. |
