Hello All,

I'm new to the forums here as well as to pixel art as a whole. This is actually my first post and I was looking for a bit of critique on my most recent pieces. It is an ooze and a drop of adhesive that he would drop after you kill him.

I would specifically like critique on hue shifting. I understand the concept of hues becoming bluer as they get darker but I feel that I have significantly failed in that regard here. The original color of the ooze was a milky white similar to the color of common craft glue but I turned the ooze blue by trying to use hue shifting. Would this be because I added too much blue or some other reason?

Another area that I have struggled with is outlining. I don't like the idea of having a solid black outline for my sprites and so I have been trying to just use a dark shade from the palette but I feel that this outline doesn't reflect the light source I have chosen well. I have shifted the outline to a brighter shade in the palette where the light source would be hitting it but it still doesn't feel quite right.




Any other critiques or recommendations are welcome and appreciated. I am still new and would love all the help I can recieve.

Thank you
