hey
Firstly, this is quite well done for your first pixel art
.
I made an edit here...
Well I gotta make this really quick for now, but I'll be back later and try to explain better/more.
Basically I tried to better define the lighting, and also added alot more contrast (made the darker shades darker, and lighter shades a tad lighter). I also thought the entire scene was to bright, and made the grass darker, remember it's lit by just moonlight. I also added a shadow for the zombie over the grass.
I thought the moon and the clouds were much to large, so to were the stars to bright, and this ruined the perception of depth of the image. I think they must look like they are very far in the distance
. I completly changed the clouds, and tried to blend them a bit into the night sky (gave them a purple tint), and I also split the night sky into different shades, to kinda help show the light projected from the moon. Also, you must remember the brighter the scene, the harder it will be to see the stars
.
I also changed the palette a bit, but maybe I will explain this some more later.
Anyhows keep at it
