I've used a couple now. I used to use Photoshop Elements 4.0, then that betrayed my computer and I was forced to use Acorn, which is about one step up from MS Paint. Eventually I got Photoshop CS5, which is what I'm using right now. It's honestly no better than Acorn or Elements for pixel art, though! xD (That's a lie. It's definitely better than Acorn.)

Thank you!

Your pixels and flat art shading are professional quality; I could find no fault with them. The last one, the raven, does seem to have a few shading problems. It may be my monitor or it may be the media you used, but it appears heavily pixelated. The outlining for the feathers and the division between the actual night and its wings do not make a smooth transition. They appear busy, noisy. Keep working at it.

Thank you much for the quick critique, TxCat. :-)
You're very much correct on the raven. That was done some time ago so I had less practice, and it really shows. xD Dealing with shading like that is something I'm trying to work on, and your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks again!
