Help me, how can I improve these?

UPDATE:

Not possible...

No way. They're really not that good?

I dunno how to help you ether. They seem quite good.

Genos face look un geno like. Geno looks as though hes smikring, and he has a nose. Remove the mouth you have atm. Genos mouth should basically look like a suqare and either line up or be a few pixels away fromt he lines that go down his face. Genos eyes cant change shape either, they should be giving you a mindless blank stare, and reside right beneath his hat as a half circle.

Btw, that smirk is actually his nose. I have an update though, I colored his face and hair.
And his mouth it the little rounded box below it.

Geno doesent have a nose >:

You fail, hard-core.

You're a dick

how does he fail "hard core" for being wrong about Geno's nose? It's hardly even noticeable

1. It was a joke.
2. Chill out.
3. It's clearly a nose.
4. And I'm not sure he realized that it's not an exact sprite of Geno. It's a fan's artistic expression. I can change the look of his eyes if I really want to.

Edit: He was also being a dick. An eye-for-an-eye and a dick-for-a-dick.
"Genos face look un geno like."
He completely misinterpreted his face. The smirking mouth was a nose. The wrongly included nose was supposed to be included.
Not only that but all of the constructive criticism was not even toward the sprite, but the design. Which makes even less sense since there are a such thing as abstract sprites. I have seen some very creative, unique and very well-done sprites that look very little like the character they're based off of.

1. It's hard to tell on the internet k?
2. kk
3.Yes but it's not a prominent one
4. I understand that

Yes, Cshad may have misinerpreted his face but he was not in anyway being a dick.

I rarely post here anymore because of this stuff

He wasn't being a dick at all dude, chill out. It isn't called CONSTRUCTIVE criticism for nothing, bud. Yes, he may have been wrong, but that was no reason to call him a dick.

As for the pixelart, it's not that bad but your color choices seem really dull and such. Keep it up though.

I didnt see him having a nose. If you should have a nose on your sprite, make it less human looking, its a piece of wood after all. Also, I was just giving crit on what I thought could have been fixed. A simple statement in the first post about it being more abstract would have sufficed. Im just used too looking at geno and seeing an emotionless blank stare, which would have worked just as well for this piece.

But enough of tha,t thier is nor eason to have an argument here. To give some crit on the shading, the black going across everything looks odd, as im sure only metal would cast a reflection like that. If you going to add black, try adding the black to the creases rather than shading it black, then shading a light shade beneath it. It looks mettalic. Genos collar needs more contrast and a bit better shading, it stands out too much from the sprite becuase it looks out of place. The same thing goes with his little hair, but that may not need an outline.
