i've been working on this 640res character for some days now, here's what i've got so far

i find per-pixel-editing much harder than drawing backgrounds, i'd appreciate any advice and criticisms you may have to offer :)
btw, he's supposed to be an ugly dwarf with a scar on his face.. not sure if i made him ugly and dwarfish enough :-\
The scar is much too red, it looks more like a cut.
Is it because he's incomplete that parts of him are lit, while other parts like the shirt have two color levels and only the slightest hint of lighting?
Regarding his proportions, I think he could stand to be a little chunkier.
Here's my attempt at an edit.

:D His head is way off-center. I like the face better though.
Hah, yeah i forgot to move it back.
Too lazy now :=
nice edit, chicky.. it gives me a good idea on where to take the pic :)
@medical waste - you're right, i'll change it
@sparky - well, i used the broken sword character sprite as a reference - that one has 3 colors for the face, but just 2 for the jacket... i figured i can play around with another shade on the jacket once i finish animating it.
thanks for the input everyone :-*
