Hiya!
My name is Noah Hanover, a game developer who is currently trying to create pixel art for the first time. For my first (and only for now), I mainly just used shapes as the basis for all the artwork in the game. However, I realized that if I am going to become a better well-rounded game designer, I would have to be able to make my own art. For that reason, I looked up a few tutorials and started to create some art. You can find one that I created below, and an album of a few characters at the link. I realize already that I have not introduced any shading into my characters, and that most of the characters may seem odd. It would really help me if more experienced artists replied to me either on here or at my email (noahsahar@gmail.com) so that I can make my art better. Thanks for reading!
