Your tanks outline lacks contrast. Try making it a little darker and perhaps a little lighter in the top left bit where it is obvious youve made the light direct from.
I know youve tried to keep it simple but often a second base colour helps, especially if the tank will move across green surfaces such as grass. A mixture of green and brown camoflauge look would do nicely.
One little last point. Something i like to do to my artwork when uploading to the net is to get rid of the white background around the pixelart, its not really part of the artwork and makes it look a bit tacky. If you save as a GIF your problem will be solved. Try importing the work into a program like MS frontpage and filling the white with transparancy. Mainly cos it looks cool.
Thats it from me, is the tank part of a game? are there other vehicles? are they in your avatar? Cos if there are, then simply post em and I'll try and comment on them. Criting pixel art is something I enjoy, especially if I know it wont get much attention if i dont.
Goodluck,

I think the barrel needs more definition. Sure, it'll be a little exaggerated by making it wider, but that's always the case it pixel art, at least to some extent. It'd just look better.
thanks guys. Ill take all that into consideration
Yes its part of a game, though I doubt the game will be done for a while. The games likley to be called 7th armor, and is being made in c++. but its very early in development.
the ones in my avatar were done for taxi dash 2, a different game which I plan to make (eventually)
ps: the image is not there right now as my servers gone down - again
edit: its back again
