Title: After the battle {WIP} Can somebody tell me my mistakes?
Post by: Ezil on October 02, 2016, 06:54:28 pm: Hello! I have very little experience in PixelArt (this is my second drawing), and I would be very happy if someone could describe my mistakes which at the moment are at work. I guess that I'm very much mistaken in giving volume to the horse and the creation of lighting. Thank you!

P. S Excuse me for my English as is not my native language :)

{work in progress}

The background stuff feels like it has a bit too much prominence as well. The mountain and burning village don't feel as far away as I think you're meaning them to be.
