as much as i would like to say i did, no, its a sprite i just threw it in there, im probably going to take it out though and make one of my own. I just wanted to see how it looked.

Simplicity, yet still maintained a good balance of contrast, good work. The Garaa seems a little too polished for a first try.

You should be fine, you just need to refine the line-art. Work on the bijuu is not done an the "single pixel level" like it is on Gaara.

Its nice as a rough but you're gonna need to start fleshing it out before anyone can really say anything about it.

Yeah, I can tell you didn't make the guy in the middle. At first glance it looks pretty good though after a little while I can tell that you used just the MS paint paintbrush, and flood xD Which isn't bad at all, and has a nice effect, though you should have gone down to the pixel and made some fixes to spots and get rid of the white spots throughout it.

I suggest u start with the outline. It becomes a pain later on. Also i like ur color selection.

Thats because that gaara is from a DS game

Oh lawd(Lol)

I love how the image is coming out, especially how you avoided to even use more then 10 colors! Its like simplicity executed to the highest level.

But I suggest you work a little bit more on the ears though if you know what I mean. But all in all good job.
