Not a useful contribution, but:
This seemed like a good idea but when finished realised the "ball" was too small, 3x3 instead of 2x2 would have made a lot of difference.
[Edit] Also color red doesn't help.

Pixel Art / Re: [WIP] Kung-Fu Master Sprite

Another design issue I'm having is the direction of the character. Is he facing too forward to be a sidescrolling character. I was checking out Salvage's sprite and it seems to work pretty well shifting into profile to run.

When I tried making little sprites for little games i was making I found I got locked into thinking everything has to be side on.. as if the character is physyically incapable of facing forward.  I find it is a trap to think that way, theres no rule about which way characters facing.

I really noticed this in particular with Super Mario and I thought wow mario faces the screen sometimes.

Pixel Art / Dogs Playing Poker

I used to visit a long time ago but only briefly.  I was looking at a lot of posts and I gpt inspired to make something so somewhere I decided to draw dogs playing texas hold em.



I worry that I tend to trap myself into low detail things and I get somewhat dependant on outlines.  After I made the colored version someone in a chatroom suggested they would look good as silhouettes and someone suggested making monochrome so I went with that.

I used a lot of colours, drawn in ms paint using the standard ms pallete with some luminance variations.
