So, I'm working on a test version of the game I want to make to experiment with some stuff, and I can't shake off the feeling that the first scene in the game feels flat and unappealing. I am quite happy with the props I made for the room, but it's like when they're all together it doesn't work out (I know there are still some stuff missing, like the top of the walls in the area where the couch and fireplace are).

One of the reasons why I think that's happening is the floor. I think if I make a wood plank floor instead of the basic wooden quare one I'm using, there will be more details, and then the whole place might look better.

I also noticed my shelves have a very dull wood colour in comparison to the rest of the room's colors, and that the books I made are too big in comparison to the rest of the props.

Lastly, I really dislike the bright green carpet lol. I think it's too saturated in comparison to the rest of the room, and it's too much green, when most of the palette is red, brown and gold.

Any advice is much appreciated!

I'm currently working on fixing my character's design perspective to match my top down game, but I've been unsatisfied with her animation since I finished it, so I want to take this opportunity to make it better.

I do see some of the mistakes I made, like how the red fabric on the skirt moves weirdly sometimes, especially in the back view, how the profile walk cycle has a different pace than the front and back, and how her head looks ginormous from the back. Other than that, what else could I improve?

This is a comparison of Nadia's turnaround that I made a while ago vs her game design >:)

I still want to do some fixing on her design and animations (for example, I don't rly like the back of her head much, and I'll probably make her feet a bit bigger on the side view). Is there anything else you guys think I should change?

This is the concept art I made of Baba Yaga so far! In my game she will be more of a symbol of wisdom than a villain who eats children, but I think you can still tell that she's no saint lol.

The game itself is pixelart, so this is just the idea I had for her design. When the main character interacts with her, players will be able to see her face in a higher resolution.

Any thoughts about the design?

After some time, I finally finished all of the walk and idle animations for my girl Nadia!

I'll try to focus on creating the tile sets for her room now, since it's gonna be the first scene in the game, and eventually I want to make running and attack animations, as well as a little motion for when she collects items around the map :)

I recently graduated as a 2D animator, but I have zero experience with pixelart animation and I'm having a bit of a hard time trying to make the animation look fluid while working with a limited amount of pixels and frames. If anyone has any tips or see something that I could change, I appreciate the feedback!

I recorded my screen so you can see each frame in the video. This is going to be the front walking animation for the game I'm developing.

I made a post here a couple of days ago asking about character sizes, and someone advised me to try making the character more top-down to fit my game better, and so I did!

Both versions are the same size, but the perspective of the second one makes me feel like she's much younger than she actually is (19yo).

I still like the second design a lot tho, so I wanted to drop them both here and see what people think!

I've started developing my own pixel art game recently (just started learning pixel art), and although I've been watching tutorials and doing research on how to make tile sets, I'm still not sure if having these proportions for my main character would really affect the development. I keep seeing everywhere that I should have the same proportions that most characters do (32 x 64, 32 x 32, etc), but I feel like if I add or cut even 1 pixel it's gonna mess up the design's symmetry. I really like how everything is spaced now.

So, should I just keep the design the way it is, or do you think this size is gonna bring me problems later?
