[C+C] Game Art Review

[(BYOND)Hebrons]

so i am currently developing a Naruto project on BYOND call Ninja Online Adventure , though BYOND has low expectations i want to raise the limits and change that so its not looked down upon so i will start posting art from the game to see what you guys think could be fixed , so can someone get me started in the right direction and also give some Good advice.
Some Houses I've done so far:

Those houses look kind of flat and boxy. Even if the flat roof is probably used for the gameplay, I'm sure you could give them better volume elsewhere. The windows are small.

Also there are way too many colors in there, and not wisely used.
The windows have their own set of colors which is completely unnecessary; some of these are used on very few pixels (hover on the palette in the link to find where). I'd strongly advise lowering that amount to 8-12.

Same thing with the sprite: half these colors are not distinguishable (the 2 dark colors and the 2 near whites in the eyes and eyebrows from the outline and the next brightest color).
The sprite looks good other than that.

None of that art is yours, you've stolen it and claimed it as yours. Here is what the finished art looks like. Rip much? People like you give BYOND a bad reputation. This art is all Southen_boi .

[croww]

Sure, go that way, maybe someone will even trust you.

It's fine to emulate a style to learn, but some of the roof tiles are pixel for pixel the same. You should at least mention your references, as much as we enjoy seeing your pants down

[Southend_boi]

I ain't upset he copied my style or didnt credit me as long as he made his own an didnt release my stuff to the public or just plain rip it.

The person crow calling him out leaked my My unfinished art to everyone on byond so I don't think he should be coming at Hebron... I did watch him make it.

[Fizzick]

if you look at the vertical roof tiles, there is a different pattern to them. They're self done alright, but I think it's too much of a copy to help you progress, though the original artist is ok with it.

thanks bro, i dont have time to post on just to hear peoples ignorant comments.

I get that Hebrons, but this forum is about learning. While the "OMG RIP" guys are annoying, it's also true that you didn't mention references and that it's just a bad way to learn. You should make it more different, because that's how you'll learn. Try to match the aesthetic of something, it's a great exercise, but once you copy some pixels over, you stop learning.

I'd start with Manupix's comments. Your houses look very boxy, you should try to design a mockup with some other wall types, try to get something going where the grid isn't that obvious. I personally think the windows could use some work too. They're really small compared to the floor height.

I won't speak for anyone else but I was gonna say make more of an effort to design and draw something and I'll make an effort to help u.
what you've posted gives me nothing to work with.

If there isn't enough effort on his end to receive help I'll gladly take any help, advice and suggestions in his place for my own buildings.
