Hakishi Small Sprites [Yet another project]

[Sokota]

Ok, so I used 5 colors in this, two grays, black, a yellow, and two browns [?]. I was seeing what I could do on a *very* small scale and with limited colors. I actually really liked what I've made so far, so feel free to critique everything in this little mockup!

Not a ton, but I thought I'd try making a game out of this, with a hack n' slash type gameplay. I might try some enemies later.

Note: The guy is animated, but its only two frames for walking, and the smoke [Above the house]  is also animated, but is not in sync with the rest of the tiles.

The yellow is really hard to read, either darken the background or change color to something else. The contrast is really low between background and the sword.

I disagree, the yellow really stands out.

Not really, you have to look for it to notice it. Black, red or blue would all be easier to see.

Why did you try to AA the head? It looks odd. Try use two colors to create a character out of this. thing. flesh for the head, green for a jack and... flesh for the naked legs? He'd be a running flasher or something. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I agree that the sword should be a different colour but thats because it's all I look at. I think the yellow is way too over powering I can't pull my eyes off it to look at anything else.

Gee. Now I'm confused. I liked it, because the sword was the thing that was supposed to be the focal point. And the reason I AAed the head was to make it appear round, which it did, because if you remove the AA or fill those pixels in with black, it's either a tiny nub for a head or a square. I'm hoping someone would comment more on the house and trees.
