The legs seem a little long, and the shading could be vastly improved, but don't be demotivated because you're doing just fine for what is probably one of your first attempts.

I really recommend finding some good tutorials, or videos of others making pixel art.

I'll keep these things in mind, I really appreciate the feedback and all.

In the mean time, I've recolored the knight and changed his stance a little (he looked a bit small before)


I've been spending a lot of time on these sprites as they're arguably going to be the most important in-game, and I still have one last class to make that I'm somewhat struggling with right now. It's probably best if I keep trying to be a perfectionist though.

cool sprites the skull is cute.

have u tested these against a variety of backgrounds?
I recommend getting a bunch of game screenshots (search "<GAMENAME> png" for good results) and seeing how they hold up against bright and dark backgrounds.
Vampire's sword for example totally lost against any dark background.

Yeah I've since adjusted the blade.

There are a few issues though, for example I think I need to recolor the knight completely because he can't even slightly hold up against a bright background. The planned game environments will be a little darker, closer to the mid-gray featured here, but I still think the knight is too shiny.

I would be really grateful if anyone helped me out in that regard.

Unfortunately I cannot get the chain to look quite like a real chain right now, but keep in mind the weapons have not yet been detailed.

Bump, added a Vampire.

E- updated vampire with better colors
