Amazing work as usual.

A blazer.  You need to have a certain number of ratings, comments, and uploaded pixel pieces to progress to the next level.  It is all here:

I do all of my pixel art in a combination of ProCam and Mathmatica, precision beyond the pixel.  But seriously, does paint do transparency or animation?  It seems like paint is fine as a gateway drug, but once you try some you want something that will take you higher.

Nice work.  The shading on the lower stomach area seems to bend off the light source though. It seems like the highlight should be a pixel or so to the left. (ours not his) It artificially twists the body.

That must be why I am rated so highly on pixeljoint.com and not on www.pixeljoint.com.  Because of my montage of pixel images called "Bath time for a young NiceIdiot" staring images from my youth.  Crazy.... sooooo  how 'bout them pixels?

As does mine... Pixels and numbers collide!

Now you just need to make some cats talking about hamburgers in broken net-english.

Is all of the typography custom, or is that a nice bitmap font? Figuring that it is custom, WHEN will it be a nice font. :)

It seems almost tooooo similar to justify a complete repost.  Why not just post the changed elements, instead of a near identical mock-up? I think that will help people focus on the new elements to give a better critique.

The score font looks a little lack luster when compared with the rest of this piece.  I agree that a wider palette would help define the action in this piece.

Nice work, I particularly like the diagonal "milky way" stuff happening in the sky.

So, is this one of many variant mockups for multiple platforms?  I am a fan of the clouds!

Beautiful coloring job.  Nice work texturing that flesh.

Love it.  I have a crit however.  The buildings look to be too close to the outside edge of the glass, as does the surface area of the water. It makes the glass appear to have no thickness. The biggest offender is the small blue building on the lower right edge.

The fingerprint is a genius touch.

The effect here is quite nice.  I like it quite a lot.

I think I just got a cavity. The broken heart is a nice touch.  The box with the face is superb!

Cartoony clouds, generally speaking, tent to be a roughly triangular mass composed of circles, although it could be ovular or rectangular as well.  Try a large circle as a central point and add circles of diminishing size overlapping and radiating out.  Maybe for 3-4 steps.  Then fill in with circles to get the reverse-scalloped "cloud" look.

Hope that makes sense.

I, myself, am very partial to 4.5

Nice progress!

I made one of these.  Nowhere near as good though.  Used to be my av.

Well, on thing that is glaring is that on the forward turn frames, at the 45 degree the head goes down, then it comes up quite a bit at the full-front frame. It makes it quite jarring.

Lovely.  The secret door in the fireplace is a nice touch!

So, is there a definitive pixel art tutorial?  I would love one comprehensive tutorial covering pixel art techniques.  I see bits and pieces, but I never find the one that does it all, and there are still big holes in the ones that exist.

Wow, This piece is awesometastic. I bet the game looks sweet in action too.  I bet it got an 8.1 on GameSpot too, and that was with old bad graphics.

I wonder how other talented artists could get work at this Requiem Software Labs place.  They sound super-terrific.
:P
