ShadeDBZ's M&L sprite attempts

[BynineB]

First of all, try to make it larger. Right now it's so small and squat you won't be able to do anything properly with it - why is its head an oval? (Two by two circles are incredibly difficult to shade, so make sure to make its feet and hands bigger, at the very least). Then go in and try shading it just as with the Mario sprite, including the black outline and bright cartoony shading, if that's what you're trying to do.
