Hello everyone, i've just found this amazing website and after reading some of the topics i've seen a lot of extremely talented artists so i wanted to have some advice from anyone that's willing to take some time to help me grow with my personal style...

Ok, here i go:

I'm currently making a game, gathering inspiration from games like Castlevania, Silent hill, Dark souls and Dying light.
1-.I ussually work towards a certain concept and i try to make my characters look like they have some sort of background and not just a dude with eight arms or something (If you do it is totally fine, it's just my intention this time) and i have trouble getting different poses and concepts.

2-. I know how shade works , but i have trouble aplying it...
3-.I want to make thriller-based color palettes but i always end up using the same colors.

I'm going to post some of the scratches that i have so far, please post anything that you consider that's gonna help me grow, i really want to gather information from you, since i'm just starting to pixeling ( about 6 months ).

Thanks for your time guys! Cheers!

Ps: How do i post images here? Do i have to post my local link here?
