Thing is, I wasn't trying to make a good background. That's just what i wanted to do. I'll put a better background on it once I make the tiles for my game. (they go with the sprite)

I'm not sure I like what you did with the background, nor am I sure it'll get approved since it's only a dragged image of the character.

I do, however, like the character and would think it'll benefit without that background. Keep it up.
