I wanted to try out pixel art so I made this little icon thing of my gemsona

What do you think of it? Is there anyway I should improve it?
 
Considering I could never pull something like this off, and it is very cute, I'd say it's great! She reminds me of a character you might see in an old gameboy game. Ahhh, nostalgia. :rolleyes:
 
Very cute, I like it a lot! It would be better in my opinion if it was a bit larger, but that's hardly a problem c:

Thanks!! c: It's tiny because i made it to be my deviantart icon c:
 
i think this looks gorgeous! the only thing i can criticise is maybe shading the hair a little to make it look not so 'flat', to give it a bit of dimension!

but great job c:
 
A bit more shading could make this even better. You have the right intentions with the shading on the chest area of the shirt/dress. Try using that on the hair and arms too. Make sure the shade colour is quite a bit darker, so we can see it. I could not tell the arms or hair were shaded without looking closer. Again the colour choice on the clothing has the right sort of contrast, so base it off that.

I agree with the shading part, i'm no expert, but i've done some pixels in the past, try to make the shade darker so you can actually see it, I also notice a lot of pixel artist divide their hair, so it doesnt look so flat.
some past examples I did, so you can see the dividing part

Welcome to the wonderful world of pixel art, I really loved doing it when I did it, I wish to continue when I get a new tablet ^^

<-- You can see the hair is divided so has more dimension
I also have these smoll cheebs, that are 50x50, as you can tell, the shade wasn't as dark as I hoped, But I made a version with the shade darker, and I also fixed the sparkles, because I messed up the frame rate when she is blinking, that was my mistake, I cant see to find the corrected version atm

Edited: I also kind of outlined the shade with a darker so the transformation of color is a bit more noticeable

These are great! :D I reckon you'd be able to make a little bit of tbt if you sold these, a tiny bit of shading would make it even better C:

Thank you! I'm gonna practice some more before I try selling any. I'll try adding more shading. I'll post it here when I'm finished ~
