EDIT:

fixed it up a bit

(this is a sprite for a game I'm making, more to come)

Awesome! Nice to see some more sprite/pixel stuff around tip.it gallery. I remember when the majority of art posted here was made in paint :P

It's not exactly my field of expertise, but one thing that could improve it that extra bit is if there were more shading, particularly on the red cloak. Just making it a but darker, or using different shading techniques might help. Looks a bit flat imo. Keep it up thou :)

I agree, the cloak needs to be altered.

 

I think I would die if I had to make these with MSpaint, my method involves vectors and a ridiculous number of layers.
