Hello all,
This morning I was wondering does this look weird? And should I change it? Please tell me what you think it is and if you like it.

Haven't the foggiest.
Zoomed it down and it looks like a dog in a mortar board hat to me.
Then again my eyes ain't what they used to be.
I feel It's slightly out of context. Tell us what it's suppose to be and we'll tell you if it looks weird...
Really, zoom it right down and you'll see what I mean. The cross is its nose
try sketching a concept out then ask your self "is this big enough?" And add to it until it's right then convert it to pixel art.
I find that bosses are huge monsters that seem impossible to pass. Bare that inind when sketching.
OH MAN! You are right @ogreofwart!
What exactly are you trying depict?
@ogreofwart It is supposed to be a boss guy with a cannon on his head
@FallingBoxStudios is doing 1 free pix art for forum members at the mo until the 15th.
Might be worth asking him
I wanted him to be ratty and disgusting looking. But looks like I'm going to go make him cool instead of a... dog with mortar hat!
Nah, I like to do most of my own stuff. PLUS, it is a great learning experience. I will be back later with what I have come up with. Thanks for now!
looking forward to seeing it
No dogs this time though 
OH MAN! Now I have to maneuver my game mechanics around! That stinks. But better than having to kill a dog boss.
Just sketched this on the train feel free to use it.
I don't know you could have made it into a "hellhound" >:)

That is pretty cool @JiimmyMesser. But I am working on one right now. Mine looks a lot better than before(to me, will post it in a few). Thanks though
20 seconds of my life down the drain lol
I'm not saying mine is better than yours! Please do not take it as that! I am saying the one I am working on is better than the one up at the top.
Haha I was joking
@JimmyMesser You are a great artist! Wow! Looks like that thing is real!
@JimmyMesser that would look good with vivid yellow highlights with red/pink body and organic looking green cannon.
Haha, those 20 seconds and ALL that ink!
Lol maybe I'll Pixel it up.
@jdlcrater don't be afraid to create weird stuff, thats the greatest thing we have as indie's:)
@Approw I know, but I was reading a book on design, and it said as indies we usually create what we want. BUT, is it what the general public wants? So that is why I asked. And I was told I have a dog for a boss
So yes, somethings are acceptable as weird but that dog with a cannon head? Nah, it just looked funny
Okay @Approw, @ogreofwart, and @JimmyMesser. Here is what I have come up with. Look better? Or like Exterminator?
Nasty!! in the right sense of course
It's a snail on wheels with a bazooka strapped to its shell.
Did I win?

@jdlcrater Well, it really depends. one persons says it looks like a dog, I say it looks like a strange robot, why not just refining your first design? the second one looks forced to be a cool character, so I stick with the first one;) however, I have no clue what your game is about, so maybe the second one fits better:)
