Post the original size please. Also I reduced it myself that and the size came out to 38x38.
This is 30x30:

The sprite looks good. You followed the instructions well! There are minor pixel problems and a few character problems. All though there is nothing wrong with these colors they feel dull. The shape could be reformed. The pose is a little stiff and his eyes are emotionless. Other than that I see all the advice we gave you is showing! Don't get discouraged at all. We're all on your side.
P.S.
In MS Paint there is a grid option that should help you in placing pixels.

I meant for the proportions of the sprite's anatomy. I can't get started until I know what to change in that regard.
plus should I aa inside the sprite? (If i were to do that i would be going off my guideline of just 8 colors) or not aa at all?
Also, should I just remove the outline to the eyes altogether?
(btw i think i keep messing up the anatomy because I get a lot of my inspiration from Paper Mario)
here's one

keep in mind this is a forum, not an IM chat, so you have to wait for people to see it. it hasn't even been an hour.
RE: Super Mario Bros custom tileset - Bombshell93 - 02-09-2013
dont AA at all,
if you ever AA it must be inside the sprite, AA outside of the sprite is very very bad, it makes the lineart look crummy on certain backgrounds and it rids the sprite of some of the crisp look your aiming for with pixel art.
your shapes in your sprite are quite square, round fists, feet and nose and curved bellies is a common trait in mario sprites which your lacking a bit here.
RE: Super Mario Bros custom tileset - TheMario360 - 02-09-2013
I suppose, but, whenever i post something sprite related, i get nearly instantaneous responses. I guess that is why I'm getting a bit antsy.
RE: Super Mario Bros custom tileset - Bombshell93 - 02-09-2013
in terms of getting antsy we all know the feeling but usually it'll take a while for people to reply, many members on this forum have jobs so the forum will sometimes have hours of silence, not because we dont want to reply, but because we need to pay for our food XD
RE: Super Mario Bros custom tileset - TheMario360 - 02-09-2013
i can understand that. I would to if i had a job. XD

Stairs.
They make your lines look extra-thick, which isn't good on small sprites. Also, the feet should be further apart.
RE: Super Mario Bros custom tileset - Bombshell93 - 02-09-2013
also the eyes are scary and the feet are upside down.
RE: Super Mario Bros custom tileset - TheMario360 - 02-09-2013
mind specifying on what "stairs" are, because i haven't the slightest idea on what your talking about

RE: Super Mario Bros custom tileset - Previous - 02-09-2013
Gors called it "ladder" ourlining in his example image (top right).
RE: Super Mario Bros custom tileset - TheMario360 - 02-09-2013
