Ashura's Alchemy Lab

[-Ash-]

the sprite's face looks squashed. Like, the face ends right after the eyes. You might want to redo some parts of that in orer to improve readability

the metal parts don't look metallic enough, add contrast and bright highlights. Also I think you're using way too much colors in this sprite. Cut some of them and increase contrast in general. For example, look at his pants or hair. It's almost basically the same color.

also his pose is a little tilted backwards, try flipping the sprite horizontally to see any imperfections.

While I appreciate the critique, most of what I was trying to accomplish is worn metal, so bright shine is not something I was going for at the least. And the part about pants and hair, if I were to cut out some colors wouldn't I need to add others to make the hair different from the pants? And even with that, I was trying to work in a limit of a set about of colors, so I had to improvise and make the under armor and hair the same color.
