O.k... this is not like me at all to dislike someone's creation and i'm sorry if I offend you, but.... It's kinda retarded.... You should give it a tail, outline it, shade some areas and so on...
And just because i'm not amused by this wad doesn't mean you should give up on it... Maybe you should try a bit harder and put some more "heart and soul" in to it...
As I said before: You don't have to give up! ^_^

I sense pillow-shading. Might I direct you to something that teaches how to shade properly?

Never, ever save as JPG when it comes to pixel-art. It will corrupt all your lovely work.

But photobucket ALWAYS turns my bitmaps into JPGs.

Then... don't use bitmap? It can't be that hard, can it?

PNG works, doesn't get changed to jpeg ether.

1) What's pillow shading?
2) I shade just fine thank you very much.
3) How I sprite and shade is my own preference.

Pillow shading is considered the n00b-ish way of shading. It is mainly frowned upon.
This is a tutorial on pillow shading that might show you what it is.

Try to avoid pillow shading at all costs.
