i decided to redo some of my old stuff i made, i started of making it asymetrical but that ended up looking terrible so i am probably going to start that with a fresh sprite. today i wanted to focus more on animating. i actually like how it turned out so far but if you don't feel free to say it. i am going to try and animate the head still, since it seems very stiff.



head animation:

hey there! i was wondering what you guys thought of this creature i made. i think it looks good but i don't know if it's good since i can only see it from my perspective.

hello! i decided to post this in general discussion because i am not really asking for critique, well sort of but not a specific piece. i have been pixelating for about a year, i did have a moment i saw how horrible my artwork was and it helped to improve. so yeah, now i improved, and i can see why no one ever asks me to commission them or gave any kind of reaction like a favorite on deviantart or a watch or something when i was so bad. but i really do think i improved so why is it still not happening? i did get a lot of help from others but noticed i can also do a lot on my own, i might still need a lot of critique, examples and help but.. i think my designs are honestly good, and that it could help people a lot because the hardest part for most people is thinking of something to draw and i do this without any help, and i do have some skill in coloring and shading so.. it's not that i am completely useless.

these are the reasons i can think of:

- my artwork is still horrible i just don't see it.
- since i still didn't delete my old artwork people avoid my page.
- it's just difficult to get known.

i really want to know so i can do something about it. if you can think of anything else than these reasons i would like to know please help!

here is my deviantart page:

hello most people don't know what this is supposed to be sooooo please tell me what you think it is

hello guys! i am trying to practice in pixel art - again. feedback is welcome, but please don't go and say "remove the pillow shading" or "you still going on with that pillow shading?" because this is not helpful (i mention this since i got comments like this on a facebook group). please tell me exactly what should be changed in this pixel art. be specific, instead of "the shading looks terrible" here is an example of what is HIGHLY appreciated: "the arms look too long. i think you should shorten them up a bit", or "the shading on the hair is too dark, maybe you should give it a lighter colour", or "maybe you should try to bring less contrast in your colours". those are just examples of course! but i hope you guys know what i mean with "specific" now.
also, i would love to know what DOES look good. if there is anything, of course.

i think this one i recently made looks good (if you have ideas of how to improve it though, i would love to know):

but this one i am not satisfied with:


i really did my best on it but i have no clue how to improve it!!

also i have been trying to improve this one:

if you guys have any advice on it it would be nice to know. especially the shading on the hair im not sure about.
