Hello !
I'm new into pixel art and i would love to get some feedback to help me to improve :)
I tried to do a seahorse for the pixel daily challenge on twitter but i am not satisfied with the result...
What do you think , could you help me ?

Hi laelle!
Nice seahorse. What was your process?
My favorite part is the pattern and texture of the "scales" or "armor" or whatever you want to call it. :crazy:
What don't you like about it? I think you a probably getting the same "cluttered" feeling that I am getting?
There is another level of polish available if you are patient enough. Consider the value of a single pixel. When you get it to a point where each pixel is supporting its neighbors, that's when it's really going to feel complete.
This might be hard to do since you started with a large size. Maybe for an exercise, try to redo this at a quarter size, and you will start to notice each pixel matters.
:y:

Hi! great work, but I have a few recommendations:
If you look at a real picture of a seahorse you'll notice their tails are a bit thicker than what you've depicted. (although, if what you've done is intentional, your style, etc. then I don't mean to impose.)
Also, I suggest thinning the chest area a little bit. But again, if this is intentional, then nevermind.
maybe the line going down the side of the seahorse should be a bit more knobbly.
Otherwise, very awesome artwork :y:
