Cool beardlings. I'm not sure if they work well as smileys, but they look good. Although that helmet is rather flat.

Nice texture as mentioned. I think just a simple increase of contrast would do this piece much better. Maybe some small hue variotions at the browns would also spice this up a bit.

While I do love both, the girls skin on the second is not working for me. Maybe it's just my monitor but I'd go with a bit less green and more gray.

Must be because I'm a bit drunken right now, but it's a bit hard to read to me. Superb colors anyways.

Chromostereopsis border-line.

If this is really your work then it's really a huge improvement. Superb colors on the ground.

A vonalak jók, de az árnyaláson lehetne picit javítani. Ha pont a nézőpont felől érkezik a megvilágítás, akkor a formáknak furcsa, "pillow-shaded" hatásuk lesz. Emellett érdemes kicsit kontrasztosabb színeket használni, hogy valóban látható is legyen az árnyalás. Egy gyors edit, hogy nagyjából mire gondoltam:

Thanks for all the comments!

I thought it would be hard to make out, those bumps are her buttocks not her shoulders.

Haha! Most, hogy olvastam a description-t is, már sokkal jobban tetszik.

Tréfás a video, valóban magyarnak kell lenni, hogy  igazán megértse az ember.

Dammit again! A great challenge. I've got a decent concept and I've begun to like the EGA palette, but I fear I won't be sober enough this week to participate. Again...

Yeah, like Spellbound or something. Thanks for the nostalgy!

That tutorial is more like a banding tutorial.

A shame you cannot pixel the very original Porn Flakes for the challenge. I'd love to see hundreds of those...

Very Perry Bible Fellowship.

I was suspecting dirty tools as well, because of the different level of techniques and color selection method on the different parts.

I think the likeness to the original could be improved by cutting back the hair a bit widening the jaw and forehead. Made a quick edit, not sure if it is better or not. And that shirt looks really rushed...

I think the overdithering kills the metallic-specular materials of the original a bit. Otherwise quite good for a first one.

Dunno if it's in the rules or not but it's a practice to state references here.

Actually if you zoom in, you can see that he's advancing at least two pixels with every step.

I like this a lot. Made me smile. Had to watch Ministry of Silly Walks again...

Szuper. Kicsit sok a tizenhét szín szerintem egy nagyjából monokróm képhez, néhányat alig látok a monitoromon. Talán a kis figura is lehetne picit hangsúlyosabb, de összességében egy nagyon hangulatos darab.

Talán egy kis AA az ágakon még feldobná az egészet. Elég lenne csak valami szolíd is.

I voted yes right now. I think it is valid pixelart even though a bit unimaginative. I'm not sure if this is a recent work, but if you are still planning to work on it, I have some suggestions.

It would have been great if you have kept the original color of the light coming from the left. The parts where the skin meets the cloth are a bit rushed I guess. Especially where her top stands up. The fold of the top are a bit pillowy. Eyes lack a bit of detail, (her right one could be compensated if you push it back to the shadows a bit). The hair looks unnatural more like cloth. Her cheeks on the refenece picture are more round and her forehead should be a bit set back. You use some different skin tones here and there but the original has way more. Some slight green and blue shifts would benefit the piece.

I like the effect you used on the top.

Well, I cannot really agree with xXHalfieXx in some points.

I think 62 is a large enough colorcount, you shouldn't use more, though a bit more optimized palette would definiately improve the piece. Not sure about less saturation, maybe would fit the metal slug style a bit better. But definiately no more dithering. I'd actually suggest a lot less considering it is of metal.

I like the design, what it's lacking in my opinion at the moment is the definition of shapes and it seems as if some pieces were only dropped onto the sprite without considering its effects.

Whipped up a quick and dirty edit, to show what I mean.

Smooth walking animation. To be honest I like the first version the most. I like the more exagerrated movement and the clean design of it. Also, there are some really unnecessary colors on the shaded ones. Actually the different tones doesn't really help to define the shapes on them. I suggest you trying out a bit less but more contrasty shades.

I liked this guy so much that I whipped up a small edit of one of the frames. I hope you don't mind.
