Pixel Art / Re: Iso Room and Sprite

I thought the walls looked a bit plain, so I added a wallpaper pattern.  And pinki-fied it for fun!  I just thought it looked too much like a boys' room.  You don't have to do any of this, it's more like my suggestion than a critique.

If you want depth then what you have to do is add depth. Currently everything in this image has a 1 edge black border. Try making the apparent face's border a pixel larger, and try ditching black all together and use a dark brown. Next what you will need to do is actually put some depth into the water. Usually water just isn't some puddle that is bordered by grass, so you are going to have to fix that aspect. Then ontop of adding some color depth to the small puddles and removing the heavy white outline, your going to need to incorporate it to be seen through the grass blades etc. So finish uyp the grass, then the cobblestone path, and then work on additional props. such as the puddles. Lastly, you seem to be trying to incorporate rainfall into this image so what your going to need to do, is actually make it look like it's raining, and not just in those puddles. Try accenting certains areas, and add a bit of heavy mild-transparent gray contrast to do so.
Maybe your monitor is dark, but I did use dark brown... black was only used here and there.  Maybe the brown needs to be lightened up if it looks black, though.

Well, I don't feel this piece is going all that well, but I figure that instead of scrapping it completely, I'd post it here.  Maybe some of you can help me.


It's supposed to be a rainy old cobblestone path. What's bugging me is that everything just seems flat...

Okay, so I think I'm done with this for now.  I took Terley's edit into account and made some changes, and I went back to the bigger legs of the first version... he just didn't look as intimidating with those short legs and rounded hooves. I'm happy with it!  I think I should move to other things now.

Oh yeah, and also gave him some sweet sideburns... aw yeah.

If it looks like Buloghty's, that's just a coincidence, 'cause I don't know who that person is... >_>  I think I was trying to go for a vaguely FF6 style, but I didn't look at any refs when I drew it.

But if he's using CMYK, doesn't he want the mixing to be subtractive?  Bascially, mixing basic colors on a computer screen is not the same as mixing ink or paint, so I don't think he's going to get the effect he's going for in the image he posted.

Dithering colors with CMYK won't make your colors correct because CMYK uses a subtractive color mixing method, while RGB uses an additive color method.  When you mix two colored inks together, they become darker, when you mix RGB colors, they get lighter.  Dithering accomplishes neither of these forms of color blending.

...oh man, I am such a nerd >_-

I think you should make the guy's shoulders move more, tilting in left and right with his arms.  Right now it's kind of like his arms are just dangling from his shoulders.

Wow, that does look a lot better!  Not to confused with other techniques, but here's a cool pixel of a mountain range I found, maybe you'd like to look at it:
