I have a bit of a dilemma here... I hate when people leave kiss-ass comments, because the person usually goes overboard with compliments, which just comes off as phony, and insincere. But, I also can't leave without letting you know that I think that your art is really cute, and stylish (especially for a first try!) ...so just in case you decide to never make another game, keep making pixel art, you/re already can make assets for other people. There is one thing I'll suggest though, pixel art characters almost always looks nicer with a thick, light/dark outline around them (depending on the scenery, lighting, etc.)
Well, I guess I just joined the "kiss-ass commentor" squad, and now everyone I ever made fun of will hunt me down...there is nowhere to run!
