Hello everyone, I'm new to pixel type art but I absolutely fell in love with some of the stuff I've seen lately and I thought that I might be able to do it too! I had a fun idea and wanted to get started so I did a bunch of research and made what I thought might become a screenshot for a cute silly game I have in my head. Anyway! I'm not really sure how to go about doing this stuff but I figure doing is better than reading about it and just trying to figure it out on my own.



Okay, so I've started a kinda 'put some blobs of color down' kind of approach and it's still super basic. Personally I feel like it reads okay but I need more opinions. I want the background to look fun and colorful but not take away from the characters I'll be adding later.

I need to build some kind of color palette as well and I'm kind of fuzzy on how to do that. I'm already aware of the topics on color palettes but I'm not quite sure how to pick a starting place or the 'right' colors. I'd like to make this fit in with old style games but HSV is a bit confusing for me to navigate. I'm not sure when I should adjust colors or make my foreground fade into the background smoothly with cooler colors.

Umm.. well just anything else that might strike anyone as noteworthy I guess, thank you in advance for your help! ^u^/)
