First attempt at a custom sprite (Please give constructive criticism)

[Gors]

sorry but this doesn't resemble Mario at all. Have you seen pics of him when making this? Mario doesn't have a circle head and thin as hell body and limbs, nor he's tall enough to look like a huge needle.

His clothing is totally off. That isn't even an overall, in fact I don't even know what that is.

there are so much things that need help, so give a check on this section's spriting dictionary for all the basics.

Still, I respect you for trying something original instead of editing.
