So i just started learning to pixel art a few days ago and i am making random items to learn shading and what not and i need some opinions on how i am doing.
First i wanna know what handle you guys like the best.

Second, i'm not the best at shading and i dont really know when to dither or ditter whatever it is (the checkerboard thing) so i tried it out on the scythe and i would just like some feedback.

If you can give some feedback i would be really thankful.

And as something random, i wanna know, how do you make gifs of your animations?

1) use the image tag, don't make us click links.
2) don't scale up your art just post it 1:1
3) don't use pink backgrounds, use grey 50% brightness. if u can't see the sprite against grey then u need to fix that.


here's a real top-of-the-range tutorial on making animated gif in GIMP...
