Glitch needs some help with not sucking.

usually a grayish green works well as sprite backgrounds, but any color that is faint enough is good enough. Pink is good as background in this case.

the sprite has now a better difference between dark and light tones but the white on his legs and light brown on his tunic mixes a tad, if you know what I mean. Looks like he's using a one piece clothing instead of tunic over the pants. I suggest dividing them with a stronger line such as brown so people can make the difference out easier.

Also don't forget that things cast shadows on others, so it's likely that the cloak will shadow the tunic a little , and the position of the guy's legs is likely to form a curve on the 'skirt' part of the tunic, making it darker.

still, I applaud you by trying a custom sprite; that's certainly the right step on the world of pixel art
