Here is my very first custom graphic. The "Chill Bully" from the Snowman's Land stage in Super Mario 64.

For your first custom graphic Butterfudge, I must say it is quite impressive. The body looks very shiny and slick, like ice, and has lovely shading that adds the feeling that the body is rounded. I can't complain about this graphic, except for front foot in screenshot one, it looks odd, how the back of the foot is completely straight up and down. If you angle the pixels towards the back foot slightly it should look a little better. At the moment it sort of looks like it is pointing both feet inwards. In any case, it is a great graphic and enemy choice, since there aren't very many Chill Bully graphics around. I hope to see more of your work.

So I took your advice and angled the back of the front foot a bit. I also rounded out some of the edges on its feet.

Hopefully, this should fix it.

Yes, that looks great now. I might also try your shading technique used on the body of the Chill Bully. Shading circles can be tough sometimes, but that sort of shading looks ideal for curved surfaces. Keep up the great spriting.
