There are two colors; you should have at least three: basic color, highlight color, shadow color. Furthermore, it really helps if you blur the transitions of the colors a little. They're definitely too sharp.
Also, the left arm (from our perspective the right one) looks a little too much sticking out. Like if it's hovering in front of the character.

Keep on improving.

FOLLOW THE RULES!
Rule 1: English only (+10%, 1 week)
The forum is a meeting place for people from any nation to talk and have fun. Therefore, to ensure that everybody is able to participate and understand you, please stick to English with proper spelling and grammar.
Rule 2: Think before posting (+10%, 2 weeks)
Spam (posts that contain literally no useful information at all), off-topic discussion, gravedigs (posting in threads that have been inactive for several weeks) or generally senseless posts (posts that are hard or impossible to understand) of any form won't be accepted.
If you want to ask questions, search the Mainsite ( http://www.lf-empire.de) or the forums first to check if your enquiry has been answered elsewhere.
Rule 3: Etiquette (+30%, 2 weeks)
Generally, common sense applies here. Do not offend, harass, curse, show disrespect, or be rude towards anyone. Newcomers shall be treated, like anybody else, with respect.
Additionally, sexual or illegal content (such as pirated software, plagiarisms) are not allowed and will immediately be removed.
Rule 4: No multi-accounting (+40%, 1 month)
You may only have one single account on LFE. Bans will be allotted upon disregard.
Rule 5: Follow posting guidelines (+10%, 2 weeks)
- As LFE offers you to select differently colored themes, submitting posts with excessive color formatting is strongly prohibited as it possibly makes it hard to read them in other themes.
- If you submit an excerpt from .dat-files, use [code=dc]Your code here[/code] for clear presentation.
- Use descriptive titles when posting a thread. “Help” does not tell a whole lot.
- Click the [Solved]-button when a thread of yours has been cleared of your problems.
Rule 6: Follow profile guidelines (+10%, 2 weeks)
- Please keep your signatures under 150 pixels in size, including text. Refrain from using animated pictures as they can take longer to load on some computers. Using sounds or anything which interferes with the forum layout is forbidden.
- Do not upload avatars larger than 100 KB.
Rule 7: No backseat moderating (+10%, 1 week)
If you feel that a person has broken one of the above rules, please use the report-button located under each post. You may write the user a personal message (PM) but do not post in the respective thread to inform about the violation.

Right-o my friend!
Well, I'd say I like the first and seconds hair sprite more, improvize on them, but you know you should make it look more like hair rather than a cloak or something...
(all these sentenes were given by a n00b XD)
If at first you don't succeed, you're probably not going skydiving again.

@ Blue Phoenix
There are 3 colors on the hair, look more closely. EDIT: Actually there are 4, coz the hair is darker on the left side(from our perspective)
I shaded it as good as i think is possible for that kind of graphic(except hair)
EDIT2: I tried to make it look 3/4 view, not totally sided
@ Drahcir
It looks a LITTLE weird, but i have no idea how to improve it.
Yea Madara Uchiha started to do the same thing, just not LF2 style, and yes, it's fanart(DBAF )
@ sadbhav
Hehe, i just liked the other ones, coz 1-2 are totally random lines on the hair XD
I don't think it looks like a cloak...
It all sounds like i'm trying to show myself better, but it's just what i think, can you please be more specific where to upgrade? At hair, can you give a few tips?
Damn, my computer broke down  But i can still upgrade it XD I'm in my bro's com now.

kayz, so....
I just took your last posted sprite as a basis and tried to improve the shading a little. Hopefully this will illustrate what I meant....

Just so that you know, I don't like the skin color myself but I used the same reference as you did.

edit: looking back at the sprite that I just posted I must say: wow, I haven't produced that much crap for ages! :P

As I said, I just took his sprite as the basis and didn't alter anything of the outlines. Too lazy to do that
