First official pixel art. (Male Character for a game)

[Malakai]

I got the color scheme from someone else, but i picked the colors out for myself.. You act like someone needs to know everything about colors to know how to shade. =) I mean hell, i only know the basics and I got this far. As for the shape? *shrug* I think i know what you mean, head is the size of the whole body. Legs and half of the arms. lol..
