Critique > Pixel Art
Sprites and tiles and UI bits, oh my!

Ugh, back after what I know only feels like forever.
@Voidfyre, thanks for your kind words. I hope the game doesn't end up disappointing you when and if I finally manage to get something playable out of it. As for the original sprite, there are a lot of other problems with it, but I'll think about the expression on the current one. I was trying for "a bit irritated, but not vicious".
Anyway, I have a few new tiles to show. First, some dirt:
I went ahead and added transitions to the tiles I showed before. At least it isn't pixel noise.
Second, some lava:
These aren't quite the final tiles—there are still some issues with the bottom edges and tiling—but it no longer looks like orange water. It helped that I realized that, unlike the water and the ice, there's no gameplay reason for the lava to be translucent: any object that falls in ain't gonna be fished out again.
fskn:
The dirt looks nice, and it really isn't pixel noise (which is good) but it still pretty noisy (which is bad).
I would try using flatter-looking areas with perhaps a few mounds of dirt here and there for variation.
It may look good enough if you painted some blobs of a single color on top of what you have there...
By the way your host or something compressed the image again, it's all full of artifacting.
Imgur is a much better image host (at the moment anyway) and it won't compress your PNG files or turn them into JPEGs. You can actually copy paste images there and then grab the link, no need to go through the process of saving a copy then uploading it there.

As I've said before, images on imgur often just don't show up for me, and I'm not sure why. That makes me reluctant to use it.
Time for me to unmothball that webspace, I guess.

Ah, yeah, I forgot. It sucks that most image hosting websites are meant to store photos so they will most likely compress the images you upload.
I guess alternatively you could try this one: https://imgbb.com
