Good

Well this was a good way to recreate a sprite you've come to love and appreciate. I think the use of the sprite as a foreground and background really worked here to showcase what you've added and how you've recreated this piece. I love the way you've got almost the original coloring done and the way you've smoothed this out, but also kept some pixels here and there to not lose that feeling of it being a sprite. I think the white was okay, but maybe instead of just that white background with the sprite zoomed in, you could have done a kaleidoscope of colors of the sprite and filled in all these white areas with a bit more color and pixels to fit your theme. I think it is good as it is, but that would be something I would change up if I was doing a sprite recreation like this. You put your own spin on this too, in terms of the style and the look of the face. Faces in sprites are never too detailed and pretty standard, but here you've gone a bit further with additions in expression and just layers the character. I do like this one very much and I hope you do more of these sprites from the game in the future. I would add that.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Just limit the amount of white space here and there, maybe use more pixels

wow

Cody is a really awesome character, the best character of street fighter IMO, and you did a really good job dude, you're someone I can call an artist, very good job dude, Cody rocks !!

Yes! I love it! The not-so easily recognisable NG staff drawing style. Lines that end in a subtle way and are just so smooth. I always wondered how you managed to pull them off. There's also just the right amount of them to show the round form that makes your style even more apparent. It's similar to JohnnyUtah's style. I love it! I fell in love with even in early-mid 00's. You guys, or your art, were a rather large influence for me to practice art and animation :) I thank you for this. But, I am going slightly off topic!

Great piece, few will appreciate it like I do though.

Looks great. I love playing as Cody in Street Fighter games and you did him total justice here.
