I think I know what I want now. XD I would like a pixel spirit of my friend's OC which is based off of a mythical creatures called a Saupeek. Here's a link to a drawing she did of him. :D

What's this about Munin spriting things? >.< I'm too late for a special event or something?

Edit: ...
Awwww. :c I don't have a GB Reindeer or anything like that. XD Oh weeeeell... And while I'm at it, Munin, could you critique the shading on the wings of my dragon sprite? I quite like them actually, but there might be flaws I missed.
:t-shrug:
Feel free to take as long as you need to get back to me. :3

Also, any tips for shading the main body?

Thanks SO much for the Christmas gifts!

Could you tell me where your main lightsource is supposed to be? It´s a bit hard to tell from the wings alone but it greatly influences what I´d have to say about the shading itself.

I tried to do a sort of upper-ish left light source. I'm not too good at them yet, so if it needs any correction, just say so. Thank you again. :3

The far wing might need some editing with the light source...

Well, if the lightsource is above the wing, the near wing would be dark underneath, so the closer to the ground they are, the darker the feathers have to be. Also I´d lighten the dark "stray" pixels you have in the lighter parts, they make the shading look a bit grainy. The upper part of the wing with the very small feathers looks quite good.
For the main body I´d start by blocking in the main highlights and darkest shadows first and then start refining the shading with intermediated colours. That way you can easily correct the distribution of light and shadow until you are satisfied with it and don´t loose track of the overall shading when doing a texture.
