Also, if you are going to try spriting something that resembles a certain style in particular (In this case KH Gauges) you should keep a few screenshots around (in this case, of KH gauges) to use them as visual references, so you could tell if whatever you are spriting actually looks like the original material or not.
The gauges in KH were vectors, IIRC, aside from the Handheld ones - but they don't use that style.

Let's say your circles edges are too rudimentary. Smooth 'em out. Your colors are badly chosen. Rechoose them. This might help.
Study everything, every image, every technique, every tutorial to improve your sprite.
Come back when you're ready.
are you aware that picking colors from a random palette without a clue of why you should pick said colors is stupid and a terrible advice?
picking from a random pool of 4600 colors not only limits you but also its extremely redundant. for a palette of that size, he might as well use no pool of colors at all.
OP, ignore that post. really ignore it. all you need to know is to avoid using MSPaint's default colors. if you're really looking for criticism in order to learn, i might suggest you to do some research about the theory of colors.

Actually you're right, I kinda rushed that. Edited my post.
*sigh* Okay I'm just saying this right now.
1. I did NOT say I think my sheet sucks. I was saying OTHER people say they suck. I tried for months, yes months, to try to make it look better.
2. I never once said MS Paint is stupid. It's the only picture making program I have and I enjoy using it. I'm not spending $100+ on Photoshop.
3. All I did was ask an honest to god question, what do you guys think? That's all I asked. Instead, all I got was everyone and there fucking grandma's flaming the shit out of me because of one picture and post. Seriously! You tell people THEY'RE the immature ones?! All I did was ask, and I got flamed! Who's the REAL immature ones?
4. I tried MANY different colors and used a gauge from the game as a reference which helped greatly. The only one who gave me REAL advice was Lexou. So yes, I'm going to take that advice and look at different color pallets.
5. I'm NOT an expert at making custom/edited things like you guys. The only real thing I did was ripping the battle stuff from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. That's something that bugs me. People who have little experience in this sort of thing just be honest and say what you all think and you guys just treat them like they're retarded.
And right now, I don't care anymore. So go ahead. Warn me, suspend me, hell even ban me for this post. I don't care. All I did was ask an honest question, and I got shouted at like I'm some jack-ass who ruined this forum.
You asked an honest question, indeed. And you got (brutally) honest answers, which was exactly what you asked for.
IMO, your problem is that you didn't got the answers you expected everyone to give to you and decided to throw a "poor me" tantrum instead of paying attention to what you were told.

skimmed the post
noticed this
no one is flaming you, they're giving you honest comments like you claimed to want in the first post, judging by your reactions however it's very clear all you wanted was a bunch of tongue-in-ass praises
p.s. i love how every member like him has this sort of "you guys are jerks how dare you do exactly what i requested you do in my first post of this thread i hate you all
" post at some point

I would hope you aren't so incompetent you dish out the money for a program
NOT INTENDED FOR MAKING PIXEL ART to make pixel art, but apparently you think that's the only program that makes you magically good at it
if you suck at making pixel art in mspaint, you straight up suck
there's no excuse for that

you didn't read the whole post
the picture was saying that if we has just gonna ignore 1up's post and not read it then he should fuck off
not just fuck off in general
Actually I did.
I just wanted to make a joke about the picture looking like a famous lesibain ok thanks bye.
to be honest there is literally no point in doing this as pixel art. for such a simple, extremely easy bunch of shapes and such that anyone could do in 5 mins, you'd rather want to work on characters, objects, etc.
unless you really elaborate those UIs
