Ok, I tried making the walls tilted upwards to make the items and characters not look so wierd standing next to them. I also added a shadow to the floor next to them to give some depth or some crap like that. Is this better? I'll fix colors and that stupid ground tile later; right now I'm coding like crazy because one of my programmers ditched me. So, should I forget the whole square grid and go iso? I'd rather not, but what are you're opinions?

Just a fast rework. I put some black outlines on the walls and shadows on characters. I had trouble making shadows on the objects not look crappy, plus I was kind of trying to keep them all under 16x16 do to my stupid "pixel-artist-who-cares-too-much-about-outdated-resolution-restrictions-itis" (actual medical condition.) I also darkened the blob. The dark area is supposed to be on the ground with the rest of him being semi-see through. I guess that wasn't obvious. Probably still isn't. Still haven't fixed the cobblestone. Do the powerups need some way of standing out? I tried white outlines and shadows...

Love the colors and the wierd, Greek-looking hair style. I don't mind the pose being less than dynamic. It makes her look like she's gracefully floating along, barely touching the ground... which doesn't mesh with the megaman blaster too well, in my opinion.

Hey, I'm working on a game with two other guys (both programmers.) Its a pretty straightforward Zelda/Gauntlet style action/arcade game with a twist. I won't go into details because I'm sure all you guys want to see is the pixels.

Here's a little mockup. I cluttered the room up a bit to show off some of the powerups.



These are my tiles:



I'm aware that the ground tile needs to be "de-gridded."

These will be used in a minigame:



Anyways, let me know what you think. Also, in the game the character's colors are customizible (must choose a color from my preset pallet, though.) I just picked some random schemes for this mockup.
