Hello everyone, I am new to this website and I would like some tips and criticism for this platformer mock-up I drew. My main problems with it is that I believe it (a) resembles Yoshi's Island too much and (b) I want to make it dark/gloomy but fun/cute looking, hence the "drawn" artstyle.
My Original Version:
Recolored (the background would probably be a swamp + there would be mist in the foreground):
Please tell how I could make this more like a drawing but not too similar to Yoshi's Island and more gloomy but fun-looking. Thanks!
