Ok so, I have been making a game with my team called World in War. I think I have some of the old sprites in my profile, which is kinda..sad. Well, after a year of development, we've decided to just start over from scratch and try to make everything better. My job is the pixelart. Here is what I have so far. It's also a small test of what I can do after a year's worth of tries, though I think I haven't improved as much as I'd like too...Anyways, here it is. I need help with making it seem less muted, a better pose, need help on what to do with the feet, and possible any other things you can think of. Sorry, I'm just really unsure of myself. I have not really sprited anything without outlines before, so this is a first as well.
I am going for a cartoony feel and look, with exaggerated features, though without outlines. Should I do this?


Old | New

All crits are welcome and needed! Thanks. Oh yes, he has no arms, because this is a mouse aimer..

Ok, so I used 5 colors in this, two grays, black, a yellow, and two browns [?]. I was seeing what I could do on a *very* small scale and with limited colors. I actually really liked what I've made so far, so feel free to critique everything in this little mockup!

Not a ton, but I thought I'd try making a game out of this, with a hack n' slash type gameplay. I might try some enemies later.

Note: The guy is animated, but its only two frames for walking, and the smoke [Above the house]  is also animated, but is not in sync with the rest of the tiles.

Ok, so I'm redoing graphics for my team's game called Frozyn. Firstly, here is the main character, Patrick O'Grady:

Now, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have many problems, save for shading...Me and my team went through so many, so I don't want to change him, unless someone thinks he will look better in a certain way. I want to maintain the style, though.

Now, the real reason of this post. The Spydermine. Here is the old/new comparison:

A teammates edit, which, in my opinion, looks less distinguishable from my original...

Ok, so the sprite is of a mine with legs, with a body of snow, and sticks of dynamite with a timer on them. In the game, the mine will collide and either light the fuse to explode, or explode on contact. In any case, I'm simply trying to give you an overview of what it is/does. Now, I guess what I'm looking for is some critique and general feedback, because I want it to remain the same shape/size relatively, yet I feel that I can improve on it, yet not sure how. So, any help is greatly appreciated.

Ok, well, I was inspired by someone else's work, so I decided to try a tiny bit of Isometric. Please crit, as always, and should I do bigger stuff? Or does size not matter too much with isometric? Also, how to shade isometric? With two light sources? Or just from the ground up? Feel free to edit and show me stuff!
