With all of the rich textures in this piece, some AA would be a nice touch.
You did a great job. I love your colour choices!

TheDyingSun responds:

Thanks! But yeah, I can agree that it would need some overall work.

[Catstronaut]

Looks really great! You have a solid palette and you're working with a good number of colours.
I would just recommend practicing dithering a bit. Here's a good guide if you're interested! http://opengameart.org/content/chapter-7-textures-and-dithering
Look forward to more of your work!

Nemuli responds:

Thank you so much! The article seems very helpful :)

The linework is pretty good! It looks just like a Pokemon sprite! I would just recommend reworking the colour palette a bit. Colour treatment can make a huge difference in pixel art. An easy way to do this is to sample colours directly from existing sprites.
Here's a great guide on developing colour palettes for pixel art. https://betterin2d.com/2014/08/02/pixel-art-tutorial-creating-a-colour-palette/
I look forward to seeing your other pixel work!

Fenix-Gray responds:

Thanks, I'm a novice at this kinda thing, but I'll be sure to take your advice.

VERY HANDSOME!!!
The sprite seems great to animate! There are very few stray pixels and your pixel clusters are clean, which will make it way easier to maintain visual consistency. Colours are great and distinctive from the background.
It'll be cool to see what direction you decide to take this in. (I only suggest maybe changing the category of this submission to 'Pixel Art')

FuShark responds:

MASTER! TEACHMEYOURWAYS!

No but really I have zero clue what you mean by clusters and I'd love to hear abut it. I was struggling with the palette actually, not super happy with it since I kind of gave in to my exhaustion and called it done.

ALSO I was unaware there was a pixel art category and I am ashame to make myself out to be such a fool, this horrible mistake has been rectified.

[Crystal Skull]

OH MY GOSH THAT PALETTE!! <3 Isometric stuff can be tough, but this turned out really well! I look forward to your review!

FuShark responds:

Thanks, had no idea what I was doing. Skulls are my happy place I guess lol.

[Queen of Games - Moawling]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! Everything about this is so perfect :')))))) I gotta make you something just as awesome to match oh my gosh <33333333

FuShark responds:

NOYOUFOOL! This makes us square!

I just really wanted to make you something close to as awesome as your Kanti gift to me. I tried to get this done sooner but I am really glad you like it! <3

[Shlime]

Great colours! This turned out pretty well! I would just recommend being a bit careful with the outer edges. Make sure your line segments follow a nice ramp.

IamZatta responds:

thx for feedback!

[Training the old way]

Everything about this is just really endearing :')

FuShark responds:

Thanks dude! I wanted to do a few more with other cartoon inspirations.

[Beer]

Don't talk yourself down! The colour ramp is actually pretty good! There's definitely enough contrast between the colours for the scale that you're working on. You did really well for working 20x20. It'd be really cool to see an entire compilation of 20x20 renderings by you. I heard Pyxel is a great program, I'd like to see you mess around with it more.

TheBadkillVA responds:

thank you, but your stuff is really awesome and I just barely started with working with 8 bit and really can only do simple ones (thanks to minecraft) but making characters is something I wanna do but can't anyway I'll shut up now thank you for the rating.

[Linkniak | Myu]

This is really cute! You did a great job translating your round, bubbly style to pixels. I would just be a bit careful with the shading and lines. You're a bit close to pillow-shading and you're line-hugging a bit. Don't be afraid to be more dynamic with the light source! You do a great job with cell-shading with your other work, it'd be great to see it in your pixels as well.

LinkNiak responds:

Ow thanks!!! :33
