I decide to come back at random... and what do I see...
Koori Youkai doing wonders with spriting. I like how you dare to cram details in, perhaps a habit brought over from your painting approach.
Since you seem like you're getting used to doing sprites using your painting method, its probably a good time to push it one step furthur and learn abit of precision spriting.
Your current painting style looks a bit messy for a sprite. It was good enough when you were still experimenting with the scale of sprites, but now that you're used to it its time to get better. 
Take a look at how Apoc, PF, or Alec simplifies the way they shade their sprites. They block them out in clear distinct shapes, and then add details on top of that.
Also, I must say, the colours you're using now for your sprites are so much better. Even if that's because its a revamp and you have a palette to sample already. I'm sure you can see the effect of the more balanced and varied contrast. Nicely done.
Aaaand... I see something else that sours my mood. Oh well, time to disappear again.

1) DO NOT PM ME
2) Go read up on anatomy and proportions online. (google is your best friend)
3) Go read up on pencil sketching-shading.
4) Practice by making FULL character sheets. (Refer to bases and references if you have to, occasionally try doing things from scratch. You have to mix both methods; bases and without.)
5) DO NOT be an arrogant, self-righteous prick when people try to give useful critiques, and ignore the ones who are flaming idiots. (Flaming them back makes you one of them.)
6) Repeat steps 2 to 5 until you're happy, or you think you're good, then start sharing your knowledge with your fellow spriters.
7) Showcase your sprites. At first, do not be discouraged when you don't get any critiques, or lousy/generic critiques. Continue practicing and showcasing your work. With more sprites, it will be clearer what your strengths and weaknesses are, and people may be better able to give you better critique.
Lastly, if you think saying all this makes me an arrogant, self-righteous prick who is too selfish to share his knowledge...
Then I say you cannot recognise wisdom when I've just slapped you in the face with it. (Also, those steps are the same steps I used to get to where I am, I don't know any way else to truly learn.)
Unless you think its worth my time, go F*** yourselves. I'm not going to bother to even reply to PMs like "can you help me make this character?" anymore.

Back again. Vote goes to Gad.
Its pretty clear this round.
Monolith actually did better with the sprite he submitted under the name Sadlanier... Cleaner clearer more distinct and purposeful shading. Although it does look like he spent a little less time with it, that may have helped instead.
XLB and SB seem stuck with their old habits though.
Anyway in general, you guys should all really try practice some still life drawing.
(grab a pencil and paper, and just spend 15 to 30 minutes a day drawing stuff you see around you. spend about 10 minutes per object, pay attention to shape and shade.)
If you want to work on humanoid stuff... it'd be neat if you have action figures to work with.... else... I dunno.
