Hm, fair enough then. Allow me to comment on your points.
- Ever since you mentioned that about the body, I can defiantly see where you are going with this. Compared to the other shades, the body as the lightest. Even though I'm not a fan of making my shades too dark, making the body hades a hair bit darker wouldn't hurt.
- Good idea about the shadow. I'll see what I can do to expand it just a little.
- Basically, I want to give my Goomba a more neutral expression when it is not expressing any kind of emotion. I feel that arcing the eyebrows downward would make it look permanently angry and therefore make it hard to express anger when it needs to. As for the cross-eye thing… I… Don't know… I was told a few times before that having characters have a bit of a cross-eye going on looks awkward and not a good design choice. Considering its a Goomba, though, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing to give it eyes like that. I might try it.
- As for AA, I didn't think that's what you use it for. From what I've seen in the sprite dictionary, AA is used to smooth edges of pixel art and therefore prevent jaggies. For the definition you gave me, the AA I would use is transparent pixels instead f pixels of a solid color.
I hope I didn't sound too mean when I was giving my points. In fact, I actually do appreciate the critique you gave me.
