That's right folks, I spent a whole two minutes pondering over what to introduce for the next sprite jam and I've decided it will be:
Loveable Adventure Game Kid Heroes!
Rules:
Character must be a HUMAN boy or girl and fit within the norms of a 1980's character sprite. Therefore, I would say nothing larger than 40x60, though that's a rough estimate. Colors should be 8-bit or less, meaning you are free to use EGA, CGA, or even the c-64 palette if you so desire- and I dare you to! Also, and this is important, the character MUST BE NEW. Not something you did a month ago and think 'hey, I'll just use this here'. I want to see new material, gang!

Get to it and show me some loveable kid heroes!
Can you post the image from another source... my firefox keeps loading like forever but i cannot see it!
same. Nice topic btw, but would like to see these images.
Willy Beamish is the image. Wonder how come I got to see it and no one else did... ah well. I think it was Willy Beamish being look at by a nurse, or something. Anyway - Willy's the example.
Picture works for me, now and when you posted the topic, in Firefox and IE.

Here's my Loveable Adventure Game Kid Hero in 29 colors. I couldn't decide if he should be holding his wooden sword or not.
I'm so-so on the feet for your char, Flosk, but the rest of it's incredible (palette & personality just struck me for some reason). Not being the critic's lounge, I'll stop.
Please criticize also here (at least for me) i think many like me are just beginners and some help could come also looking someone better and getting some advice here!
I've to say that the palette is really a big part of this art and that's one of the thing i should work more
This lil kid is so clever. There's naught he can't do with his blue rattling thingamabob!Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã,Â
