It's ok as it is but it seems to be lacking...something. What does it need?
Help me make it better. Please?

It's at 32x32 now, should it go smaller?

I has a TARDIS too! GirlFlash made it ages ago and it's just been languishing in the queue. :sheepish:

I think you can stand to have more vertical height. That'll give you some space to make additional panels in the door and to line them with a lighter color along the top. That kind of shading gives a more 3D effect and helps differentiate the panels from the dark indigo background.

Here are some that might provide some inspiration:

This one is my favorite but it may not fit with the smiley theme:

Oooh, I'd love to see hers!

Is this better? I swapped up the color somewhat, should I go back to the original?

I like that one better. Not so pyramidal on the top, I don't think. I agree with liv that you probably need more bottom panels.

Your wish is my command. :doctorwho:

I love the dimensions. I agree with Javaman that thy pyramid should be a little flatter. I vote for the original color with lighter pixel shading around the panels.

EEK! I love that one, liv! It's got a Dalek!

I shall keep working at it today.

I haven't watched the good doctor for ages, but didn't the tardis have a flashing light on the top?

:yeahthat: I think you've got the color and proportions down now. The only thing I'd suggest at this point is to widen the panels just a single pixel on the inside. They look a tad skinny and you have the space to do it without encroaching on the middle seam.
