Okay it only has one direction.
I'll edit later with more directions.

anyways.
I'd like a few pointers.

criticism is welcome.
Personally I think that it looks good for my first attempt at pixel art.
I used MSpaint btw.

When you want to improve your piece may i suggest that you post this in the W.I.P. section?

Anyways. The base is quite small and the colours have a low contrast. so i suggest up the contrast. and instead of using only black as an outline use some dark shade of brown or perhaps even purple.

Your base > Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

When you make the muscles. certainly the chest/abs area use a darker colour to help bring them out and more visible. You can use the version I made and learn from it, I know mine is slacking a little but you'll get the idea.

Okay.

I'll take all that in.

perhaps using multiple colors for the outline?

I'm having trouble with animating.
like walking and such.

anyone know a good way to do animation icons?

The best possible way to do a animation for byond. Mainly is to do the outline first, animate it all, and THEN colour it all in :). and Mulitple colour outlines work well if your using a light source. so dark on the left and light on the right etc.

quick edit. also Watch some youtube videos or something on walking animation cycles. That will help alot with it too.
