i thought i remembered 'zoso' doing some tiles that were VERY similar to these, but i cant seem to find them. 

as im not 100% sure the tiles are yours, i wont bother critiquing, but i will critique the sprites.
the sprites are pillowshaded, and you have to many colors. both of them read better at 2x+ and in the second one, the dithering makes it to messy.  try for simpler shapes and adjusting the contrast to establish a top down lightsource.

another issue im having is that the sprites are disproportionate  in comparison to the doors to the houses, and there are a few perspective issues (fence, trees)

You can be sure that thease tiles are made by me...
I have worked 3 months for whole tileset ;)

Here is some pictures of my second house:







Oh. The doors are too small for characters. Have to fix them.

Yeah. But that because I am begingger.. and I've drawed many times same tile until I got good tile ready. And I didin't make tileset on everyday.

BTW. Here is my first version of house. :D I drawed it 2 moths ago.

you just think you've seen it before because you have in SirSami's previous thread (which there was no reason for not continuing...?)

right now, your piece suffers from a lack of originality or cohesion like many SNES rpg's.  It has all the necessary elements and they are identifiable, the issue is that none of them look particularly nice, new, or even for the same game.  Watch out with your contrasty texture/patterns.  I suggest going back to the basics and asking yourself, why am I making this tileset?  where IS this place, and why would there be a game there?  If the answers come easily, you need to think harder.  Atmosphere is the most important part of an RPG and these lack it.
A mistake is a mistake.
The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

Hello! I am making attack moves for my chars and I need help with them.

This Animation is for characters who is using shield:

And this is for those who don't:


How it looks like?

And By the way that character template body is not drawed by me but it is from free resource.

PS. How Can I get those images to animated GIF form?

First get your standing character template fixed before rushing into animations.
