Well, if you really want to keep it as a black cloak, then so be it, but be sure, if you use it in a game, to put it on a light bg. If you don't mind about it being not black, I would change it to either a dark green, or navy blue. It would still give the darkness you want, with the visibility that everyone else wants.

Good job on the new sprite, and the reflection btw ^___^

Thanks Darien.

Yeah, the blue sky I was a bit shaky on, I vhanged it back and forth a few times, and then I just decided to go with that one. I didn't see that in the tiles, I shall ave to change that around. I also forgot to add some other more interesting tiles into those ones to break up the monotony of the tiling..... will have to change that.
The cloud was done pretty quickly, I just thought I would make it somewhat my own by adding in a little something that I created. I will add more detail to it now.

I am going to go off and maybe make some more basic mockups and tiles, that is always fun

I think the darker sprite is too dark, so there is not much room for detail, and where there is detail, you can't see it without having to zoom in. Make it a little more bright, imo.

Wow, that was a really helpful tutorial Dhaos, I sure learned a lot more from it. The other thing I would like to know about is line arting, and what you '1337' pixellers do to make it come out the way you want, I can never get that. But that probably isn't for this topic..... anyway, can't wait to hear what Helm has to say on this.

I can't see the picture.
