This thread should be kept alive  

Tried something really different with pixel art o: Attempted things like this several times, but this is the first time it worked out rofl. Made with 5 colors; any suggestions?

Lots and lots of hair xD Try making the eyebrows a little bit shorter, it almost looks like one eyebrow.

I see nothing wrong with it, Latte.  

The eyebrows are indeed pretty large in comparison to the rest of her features.  

It looks like she has a really beefy right arm.

by the way, is it a mermaid?

Very nice Latte. Though you're missing a few key things for doing a piece like this. Your first major fault in the piece is your lack of a definitive light source (Which you'd like benefit from having 1 more color added), and secondly, the definition of the character itself. Your piece as a whole is good, but your character is more or less blending in with the hair.. which it shouldn't. You could start helping this by simply outlining more of the character herself. Also one thing I noticed is the composition of the stomache and the "mermaid" part of her in comparison, her stomach seems to be contradicting the direction the mermaid part is facing. I'm kind of drunk at the moment so me explaining this probably won't go as well as I hope. But in any case I did a VERY quick edit to show you what I'm talking about. It's pretty sloppy and I didn't take my time but it should still get the point across as to what I'm talking about. I only used one more color btw. Hope to see an update soon!  

First time I've gotten this much helpful feedback in a while; thanks guys!!

;____; ily 4ever now, thanks for the edit! I'll work on it soon  

hmm that would be kind of cool if we (not really a contest) had a theme and everyone made something relating to it. After that we could give advice and view other pieces.
Btw, love the piece latte!

You mean like the pixeljoint weekly challenge? I suppose it would be pretty fun too see a similar system on graalians, though, who's got the time to organise such a thing?

Yea, I was going to say that I forgot however. It does not take much time, just say a topic and anyone who wants to participate can try and make the graphic you suggested
