And that's what happens when youre unaware of what you're doing and whats happening in the piece itself...
The application of your own rules and visualisation isnt completely wrong..., don't rely on Pro Motions Tools so much...you'll get off the path of Pixelart

Aside from that, the perspective is neat, reminds me of Monkey Island a little...the first part of Monkey Island...
Lighting is placed inaccurate on the ropes... and edges need to be defined more on the lattice, indicating that the light is coming from above...

What is oss, is that on one side, you are playing with really strong shadows, and then again with moody gradients to the back...

(Also, try to refrain from using non-supportive gradients if there's no intention of having a texture on flat surfaces)
The wood itself isn't bad either, the backpart is the best IMO...
Now if everything was handpixeled, I'd go thumbs up :)

i really appreciate the help
i am gonna get to work on fixing it soon
and i will post my fixes, hopefully soon
the lattice work in the foreground isnt effected by the light
coming in from the roof so that is why there isnt any gradient on it
and i am not sure how to fix the rope light
as far as it reminding you of monkey island...well
that is kinda the look i was going for
i am working on a monkey island fan game

wow, it's amazing how that little bit of editing improves it so much.  ;D looks good to me, but I lked the rope on the lattice before the edit, actually.
