It's pretty small but i really like the look of this platform. It consists of 6 tiles since i want the player to walk in the middle (vertically) of the grass. I did this the pixel art way, using 4 green tints 3 rock tints and 3 purple'ish tints to fill up the darker areas between the rocks. I pretty much need 1 or 2 extra mid sections for some variation, then i will work on some walls. The background and character will be a pain though :S.

Nice job! Your color palette is pretty good, and overall it's pretty readable. That said, I feel like it might be a bit hard on the eyes due to how busy it is, especially the grass segments. Admittedly this might just be your game's art style, but I'd say the mix was a bit harsh.
As an experiment, I poked about with the image and extended the area covered by your midtones a bit. It's far from perfect, but I think it conveys what I'm saying in a sense.

no offense but this looks like crap. the original was way better and looked way more professional.

It was hardly meant to be a replacement - more like a 30 second demonstration of how one could make it less busy. Ideally the result would be that the TC would come back with his own edit.no offense but this looks like crap. the original was way better and looked way more professional.

Honestly I also think the original sprite is good enough and looks much better... In fact, I don't even know if it's really too busy. We'd need to see the entire environment to judge that - it's a matter of how well it contrasts against its surroundings.
Don't pay much attention to "the hedgehog" in my nick, it's just because "Sik" was already taken =/ By the way, Sik is pronounced like seek, not like sick.
