Maybe define the legs and arms more if that's what I'm seeing here.

I was thinking the same thing. Especially after watching the run animation a bit more. But I'm wondering of I need to enlarge the Sprite a bit or just strengthen the contrast.

Shadows look a bit off on the building to the right. Everywhere else the sun looks to be coming straight on the bottom right side, but the top of building casts a shadow on its pillars as though the sun is coming from the upper right.

Looks beautiful though.

Looking to get some advice on look and shading.

It's a little unclear what you want? Do you need help or guidance using palettes? Or do you just want general help?

I wouldn't say you don't know what you're doing. That art is pretty clear. Unless that's not a monitor with some text on a desk.

Achrileg,

Woo howdy thank you for the feedback.

I was so focused on keeping the actual size of the animation under 64pixels that I didn't leave much room for vertical movement. I definitely see the impact further movement can have. I still don't know how important size is when designing work for a game, but thats for another topic.

I actually did start with the for than copy and pasted limbs back and edited down. The coloring was initiated to help me identify the field of vision (purely personal use).

Your limb movement (really whole body) is just better. Arms are really difficult for me for whatever reason so I'm very thankful to have a nice base.

I think the biggest concern I have with your final compared to what I was attempting to do is that your drawing is the typical side view and I wanted a slightly turned towards the viewer look so you'd see the face the majority of time rather than having it roll side to side. Now that it the way I thought I wouldn't want it, it definitely doesn't matter in the end. You'd see plenty of the face in your view.

I'll check that video shortly. Thanks for all the feedback!
