Haha this was cute.

I found this to be real cute i guess its a sort of "PIXLE" like look and touch wich is nice as i mentioned the backround is something that could be worked on with something, So maybe in a pixle like form, of trees or something and somewhat, but it is pretty impressive and i liked it so nice job here, maybe theres a way to bringout the colors more but anyways its still a good piece i thought.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I thought maybe bringing out the colors abit better, also doing something with the backround so it doesnt seem so bland back there.

This didn't come off as that strong to me. What I found to be weird was that it was just a single image on a pixellated background. I am so more used to more detailed artwork from you. To use sprites just seems so alien to me in comparison to your other work. This looks like one of the enemies you get from "Super Mario World" after beating the game once. The colors aren't terrible, I suppose.

I am glad to have recommended you to be scouted. You're a talented artist who deserves to have his work well known. You could have probably put a lot more things in this. A single sprite creation doesn't do too well as an art piece in itself. I do see some movement, I believe.

only one thing...

...DA MUSTACHE!!!!............lol

???

The evil brother?

Awesome.

What do i need to say more...? I like everything, the character, the background, the hat, everything... One word: Awesome.
