This is a character for my game, the person for now, is not a mage of any sort, more like a thief, or rogue. Any comments would be appreciated. Warning: Very bright background
You need more contrast, that's the first thing I notice.
I've basically just added more contrast to the sprite, as well as roundening the top of the hood, and fixed some of the shading on the robe itself.
The only other thing I see wrong, is that she seems to be looking up? Is this intentional or error? If it's an error, just lower the eyes a few pixels.
