This will be my first entry, also, please note I'm only a week into pixel art.

WIP based on my own pencil, very rough, still took some time because I'm that slow:

Less rough, any feedback about tones. texture, chara design, composition...whatever will be appreciated.

Next step will be almost the finishing piece.

I'm the only one posting but whatever.

I consider this either finished or almost, I'm thinking about some bloodstains, the background may pop too much, etc, but either way I think I'm done.

Thanks a lot for the feedback guys! drawing it manually before starting make things more viable without experience, also I'm reading tutorials and taking a good look at how people does stuff here.

You are doing great.
A bit of 'banding' is the biggest issue, really.
Sticky read link in my sig takes you to cure's pixelart thread for banding info if you have not seen those sticky posts.
