Didn't mean it to be too harsh, but it's also the truth, and sometimes can be harsh.

I fully understand what you mean. Though when I was making the art, that is exactly what I was wanting the designs to be. In short, I'm actually happy with how they came out. I like the more simplistic art style, but I also understand what you mean. Was Pico there much more advanced looking? Yes, a bit, but not much. A character design, in my mind, shouldn't so much be based on next gen graphics, but a character design people can remember. Pico, here, again, has survived 10 years, with a design that people still remember and love. Frostbite & White Fang have the designs I had intended (and by the way, yes, I intended WF to be green, just to differentiate him more from the original character and add some humor). But thank you for the advice.
While you make a small point, think about how much better Pico would have been if it had great graphics? Even though it's a great game, one reason it's played so much is because it came out at a time when Flash games like what were not as often found, and it became well-known that way. After that, it was played on and on. If your art isn't as good, it's highly unlikely it will give people a good first impression, and will be down voted in the Flash Portal. It's kind of sad, but once again, it's true. I'm just giving you my opinion, though!
