Thanks for the reply and sorry about the small image! I should've posted a zoomed pic. Anyway the neck thing was intentional, it was actually supposed to resemble the face graphics from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles a bit. I always loved the way they looked for some reason. As for the earmuffs, they were meant to be attached to the blue hat and hang down but now that I'm looking at them I think they need to be moved down a bit and I need to look at how the hair comes out of the hat because it doesn't read right.

I know this isn't much but I was hoping someone could give me a little advice/critique as I'm really new to spriting and I already feel like I worked my butt off. lol This is the lead character of my project so far, the face was made 100% custom but the sprites are Pokemon edits. Do they work well together? Is the dithering I attempted halfway correct? Also, I feel a bit guilty using edits because I kinda always envisioned making something completely of it's own. Should I try to make all the sprites myself?

For as long as I've been playing games I've always wanted to be involved, at least on a small level, in making them. I think the reason I've had this dream for so long and never tried to bring it to fruition is simply that I've never had anyone to share my ideas and creations with that would actually care to listen or would even have an opinion. Although it is kind of a shame I'm not one to let that stop me from doing something I enjoy and thus here I am! My name is Matt or Simple_Soul here on the forum. Hello everyone and thank you for having me!
