Hi
So this thing got rejected when tried to submit. And I really liked it and felt so proud ;). Anyway since obviously it needs to be corrected I would like to know what would you guys add/change/delete. 
And a single one. 
Is it that bad?  C&C really welcomed (please, destroy me  )

He's on a complete slant: straighten him out. ------------- Every pixel counts, even the dead ones. |

-the arm that holds the sword it's just a tube hanging from the shoulder's armor. -left shoulder is \ while rigth shoulder is _ -the armor 's chest looks like boobs, also check the shape of it. -the head is tinny compared to the rest of the body. i would also modify the shape of it. regards ~Metaru ------------- I ate leel's babies |

Considering there's a shield bearing the cross of Saint George, is this guy meant to be a crusader?

I didn't even know that this is saint Georges shield. To be honest I just put it all together randomly ;] without thinking of any historical background. And thank you very much for those pointers. I'll try to fix them and then I'll post my progress ;]. 
So. Done some editing to the armor and now I hope it looks better (no boobs). Moved a little the shield to look more natural IMO. And now I've got to come up with a way to fix that right tube arm (any suggestions here as to how?) and the head. |

Thanks for the advice. I edited it once more. Hope it's getting better. Still don't like the fell of the head. Although it's better then it was i think. Arms looking nice - thx Metaru. Also edited left shoe, and remade the right one. Hope it gets better.

while the left leg looks like this \ the left boots come likes this I, wich looks weird. also i have a kuestion: is this a side view game( like contra) or an overview game(like FF)? ------------- I ate leel's babies |

Good point about the leg. I'll try to fix that. As to what sort of game is the character for, I have to say neither. Well it was suposed to be an overwiev iso game, but it just wont do. And the guy looks more sideview anyway.
But since this is my first pixel art character I just want to finish it, regardles of using him in any kind of project. Might use him though for an inventory screen or something. |

Redraw once again his left shoe to make it look more \ instead of I. Looks better gotta say. Added hair and doodled with the helmets yet again.
