A Statue for a challenge in pixeljoint

Hey I'm going to try and do that to ^^
The black and low contrast shading doesn't look right. Either use only black to shade or give it up and use more grey/blues. You aren't taking in count volume very well.
I believe Moai statues have extremely big heads and extremely small bodies, and even hats. Use a ref and maybe draw a sketch to do this. The sketch could be loosely based on the ref (different angle, light source), but it will be there to prepare your pixelart (establish the lightsource, composition...).
