It just seems unfinished and damn I hope it is. You've over dithered the right arm and probably the hat aswell and left pretty much the rest of it neglected. Some of the body has a bit of shape and such but other parts are just flat and have no depth. I reccomend you finnish it and make something amazing out of it that would actually prove whether or not you have 'Elite talent'
The return of the triangle
Again there isn't all that much too it, you copy paste a few things around and edit them a bit and you don't end up with much. Again it seems unfinnished, asking for some other colours to sort of, refine it a bit more, adding a hud and you could even run the extra mile and add some animation and such. There's nothing wrong with it, it looks good but it doesn't go the extra few yards you're hoping for. It shows some talent above other people on these forums but AAing isn't all that really.

GIMMIE MOAR DITHERING!!!!!!!!!!
It's got some good use of shapes and colouring and such but argh, I'm not sure it just gives me a bit of a feeling of emptyness, that it's missing something. Missing some of the artists own expression and again the going of that extra mile.
Tools
These are nice, they show some good style and technique but are a bit out of proportion. They look good but again I'm not too sure, maybe they're missing detail.
Summin' Up
You're a good pixel artist and you've got some good backing for you but you need to not be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something different, something that will show 'elite talent' that will be impressive and interesting.
Also, Mr.Parasols is a very experienced and talented pixel artist and 3d modeler. He is also fairly respected in the community and a genuine guy. It'd be unwise to cross him.
