Hi everyone.
I'm working on Sid lately.
I wanted to make it for the latest cahllenge, but the palette limitation is way too difficult for me.
So I decided to post it over here, and get some C&C
Well, enough talking, this is what I've got so far;
 Well, if you look at my other pixelarts, this is the best.
But I'm still working on it, and I can use your C&C! (Sorry for bad english)

If you are doing it for the challenge there is no Animated movies allowed. But as i understand the pallette is to hard. Just wanted to make sure you know if you were still going to enter.

Always post your references.

I would outline the eyes a bit more near the bottom, add some stray tufts of hair that don't look as "solid"... *Wonders if she is actually helping* See in the reference picture Hatch posted? On his right (our left) arm, you can see the sky through some of his fur. Even if you don't have a background, make the white visible through some of his fur/the pixels. (Not in the middle of his arm/body but around the edges.)
Hope I helped at all. ^^;; ------------- Gremlins rule the world; you just don't know it yet. |

@ Kee, I'm not going to enter anymore ;) @Hatch, I'm sorry ^^
@Bluwriter, yes, you helped me a lot. Thanks :)
EDIT; I tried to change it a little bit.  I hope it's a little bit better now. By the way, I just did a little piece of the arm, just to see how it is ^^ |

Wow, I just love the furry texture of the arm. And it looks just like Sid! The shading and everything just rocks, I wish I was as good as you. Can't wait to see the finished product. |

| Hmm sort of looks like the ice thing is coming through his neck, which I first found out it wasn't when I saw the reference.... |

@Shrub, ty
@Elwin, oh okay, er.. I'm gonna make it more clearly after finishing the fur, or isn't that a good idea?
Well, this is what I got so far;
 I still got some probs with the blending. (That dark brown and the lighter one in the middle, you can see it in the armpit ^^)

You're doing great on the fur!
The fluff you added looks a little too uniform, though. Try to mix it up and don't be afraid to have the tips of the loose fur meet in some places. ------------- Gremlins rule the world; you just don't know it yet. |

Thanks alot!
 Is the mouth a little bit too flashy or something?
And does anyone have an idea how to do that ice thing?
EDIT;
I forgot his eyebrows; I'm gonna change it asap!
Edit again; Okay, here are the eyebrows
 And I really have no idea how I should do that ice thing..
Help me ^^

That looks really awesome. :D
Are you going to have a background? Because you can see through ice somewhat, unless it's full of air, and in the ref it looks rather clean. ;)
I would definitely not have a black outline once you're done. Make a background first, or else any work on the ice will pretty much be pointless (unless you can somehow pull that off...) ------------- Gremlins rule the world; you just don't know it yet. |

Yeah, I wanted a background, but I don't know how to make air, or something like that. Now I just got this;
I don't think it's good...

Sorry about the air comment; I meant the ice... If it's full of air, it looks white rather than kind of clear.
Add some faint clouds, maybe, to the background? It's looking awesome. :D ------------- Gremlins rule the world; you just don't know it yet. |

So if the ice is full of air, then it's white?
And if it's full of water, it's blue? :p
I don't get you ^^

| Yeah make it blend in with the sky. And when you get close to finishing show a mountain peak as sid is in the mountains |

Okay, thanks Kee and BluWriter !
 I got this now.
Should I change anything? Or is it done?
Or maybe I should do like Kee said and show a mountain peak. EDIT;
A little quick edit;

OMG! loll i love that icicle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but yesss the background is a little too plain to think it is done. sid, now he is done but OMG that icicle is kick-booty! |

You did an awesome job on the icicle. *Grins* I'd either add more to the background (clouds like I said, or a moutain peek), or scale it down.
Very well done. ^^ ------------- Gremlins rule the world; you just don't know it yet. |

Okay, uhm.. I tried to make some clouds, but I really failed I think + other background color :)

I like the new background better. I personally like the clouds, but it's up to you whether or not to keep them. ;) ------------- Gremlins rule the world; you just don't know it yet. |

Okay, thanks Bluwriter :d  Little edit on the icicle, it more looks like it distorted te fur and that stuff ^^
Well, now I'm busy with those mountain peaks, but I think that shading is a little bit difficult ^^
But whatever, I'm gonna try it :d
