Was trying to draw shenron again but got lazy and tired ...pretty much gave up trying to work on it any further (no details or better shading).
I also think I drew him a bit too small...

Still a lot better than anything I can make :/ I hate pixel art.

Its good to me , but shading is wrong in most parts of the body..The light source is supposed to be the floor(where the dragonballls are) and when you summon shenron,the sky becomes Dark,so no light comes from it.

also i recomend use pillow shading for the mouth(in the mouth-tongue)
In response to Etsukurenay
No, dont use pillow shading at all.
In response to Etsukurenay
yeah I'm well aware of where the light source was but then I was following my reference picture:

maybe its because I made the stomach color too dark in comparison to the light green
In response to MDC
thanks : )
yeah pixel art can be really time consuming and tedious
I'm not sure if it was intended but he looks way too nice looking. In the picture he looks kind of vicious, with a meanish face here he's smiling and looks even more like the Dragon Quest monster that ripped off of Shenron (for those curious, Divinegon. It's a green chinese dragon that looks EXACTLY like Shenron). Though if this was the intended art style (as I'm not sure) it's fine. It's the only quirk I can find in it, the rest looks very nice.

YES !! fack! PILLOWSHADING RULEZ!!(lie...)it was just an idea.(it would look better to me pillow shading the tongue)
In response to Moonlight Memento
oh lol i actually see that and it was not intended
I felt like i didnt have enough room to make it more vicious or probably i could of added more detail to change it
but thanks

is pillow shading really that bad?
In response to GTD73191
Its not bad but it won't make you art stand out. You should spend more time on it. Make it your own.
In response to Go-jin769
It generally has no purpose except for very few cases. Think of it as a bad practice in general, like some features of the DM programming language.

oooh i see i see

Its not bad,Pillow shading its like the light source comes just in front of your face,Wich is half impossible.

you could better put a darker color in the tongue and not pillow shade it.
In response to Etsukurenay
No, pillow shading is bad, and should not be practiced.

In response to Etsukurenay
It's the only reason you could give, seriously. If you want to go ahead make ugly art.
