Side-view Battler - Bat

[boomy]

I'm new to spriting, so I decided to start with a minkoff cbs side-view enemy
It's a bat, has 4 custom poses and 11 poses in total
Just looking for people's opinions and how to improve it, since it's very primitive at this stage
i'm looking to make some more battlers too

just needs a recolor, but looks great

I think the blue colour makes it look cute ^_^

Make a few different recolours, its a game so it can pratically be any colour you like.

it doesn't care it's blue >.> it's for a game for christs sake..
I like it, but you should work on your shades.
I'm glad someone else is also making sideview battlers

thanks for the feedback
i'll try to touch up the shading, maybe use a real paint program to smooth the shading or something
