Good piece, strong sense of the ominous and the unknown. After the detailing of the grass and the beautiful semi-parchment sky, I do wish that there were a little more to the amorphous blobs that indicated effort or polish, though I appreciate that having them be shapeless masses with no detailing except for two points for eyes may have been a stylistic choice.

I really do appreciate the color palette, as limited as it is, because it fits the picture nicely. I think in the future just make sure that different parts of the piece match; the more I look at it, the more I feel as if the grass and the sky go together, but there is so little done with the blobs that they seem almost cartoony in comparison.

Thank you for review!

The decision to shade so little of her hair and not to shade her shoes at all make those two parts of the picture seem flat. Her right hand (to the viewer's left) has seemingly random lines on it that I don't understand.

With respect to the background, I wonder if the logos would look better staggered, though I could potentially be off about this. In a simple grid, they look a bit repetitive and I wish a little staggering could have been done.

Overall the piece is nice, though the composition is a bit bland (standing straight, looking at viewer, legs apart). The colors mesh together well and the bright eye makes the piece come alive. That you chose pixel art as a medium is another kudos to you, as that's a time-consuming medium to choose.

On the deviantart community you'll find significantly more impressive works, which is the basis of my 3.5/5 (good, above average). Nonetheless, it's nice and well put-together.

I do like the attention to detail, and proportions are done well.

Right arm looks bizarre, even given your odd choice of stretched perspective. It capture's Kim's tomboyish flair well, though I wish that it also caught the fact that she is in fact female (a fact I can't tell from this at all).

Have you seen Family Guy? There's one flashback when Peter was playing with his toy car or something, when his sibling came to talk to him?

Yeah, pretty much sums it up.
