...well, I came to the conclusion that today I would learn to do pixel art. Here is my first attempt:

I tried to give it a good contrast from the character to his surroundings, so I decided upon sillhouetted figures around him that contrasted his main colors. (not literally, as a redish hue does not contrast skin) Feel free to comment on it how you want, I am open to suggestions and critiques. Also, I know the feet are big, but I couldnt do much about it after I already started adding color.

His bottom half is way bigger in proportion to his upper body (Feet > head...)

Also, why do you want to do pixel art? It's sort of lame.

It's good, but his legs and feet are massive compared to his head.

Also the arm thats holding the sword is in a funny position.

because pixel art is a unique type of art and it makes any ordinary thing look cool.
