please keep in mind that this is my first attempt at such an enterprise...

Belive me...I could do with some constructive critisism.

Looks pretty good. I would probably adjust the contrast and shading on legs and shoulders to make the detail easier to see and give the sprite some depth. Overall its not bad. And I agree with Steve on the aura thing, it would probably look better if you made the auras using similar pixels. (something like this:)![]()
