SupaBuddie's Sprites

[Garamonde]

It's okay SupaBuddie, you're doing good! Let's leave the age subject behind for now and focus on your sprites.
Aside from what Torch said about his feet being too blocky, the shine on his body is also not necessary since Kirby is actually not shiny.
Also it's a bit hard to figure out the exact angle he is facing because of how his eyes are aligned. I'd bring the farthest eye a pixel closer to the other, and move his mouth up a bit.
His farthest foot is also out too far compared to the other, so it should be brought in a bit closer, and the other brought out a bit farther too. Just looks a bit unbalanced.
