Pieces can always be worked on forever. You must decide when you are happy with the results or if you've learned all you can from it. These are personal decisions you must make for yourself.
What did you learn on this piece? What new skill did you pick up? Does it match what is in your mind's eye?

I personally, would like to see you play with the palette a bit more so its 100% you.

E: This lovely piece by Zeratanus reminds me of your piece. Notice how the hair is well formed and highlighted using just 3 colors...something to think about.

I think the highlights in the hair are a bit too orange and should lean more toward purple.

I'm also not a fan of the anime 'ring' highlight on the hair, but that's a stylistic choice I guess.

@Jalonso Hm... That is a very good piece, but i think i am happy with the results as is, and you don't know how much I've learned from this.

@r1k Thanks, i fixed it.

@cure You're right, they're way too orange, I'm not sure why i made them so orange... I fixed it, and I'm going to submit it now.

@Everyone Thank you so much for all your help, my pixel skills would be little to nothing if it weren't for you guys. I'm glad you all took the time to help me out and help me get better. I've learned more things than i thought i would ever learn in such a short amount of time. Thank you all again!

Finished product:

Don't forget about the useless BG 'thang', k. If you wish to have a BG then make it work.

Yeah, I'm not going to have the BG there in the finished one.
