Why isnt my pixel art as good as others? How can i improve

I've been having lots of fun making pixel art of a bunch of different things, and ive found a few pixel artists that I've used as heavy inspiration and something to learn from, such as DYA games and rappanem.

When i am saying this, I'm not saying this out of depression or sadness that I'm not good enough, but out of a genuine earnestness to improve. I know my shading is subpar compared to the images ive listed at the end, but i know there are other issues that i cannot put my finger on that make my art look "off" compared to others. (lowk the vibrancy and beauty of rappenems art genuinely puts a tear to my eye)

Please criticize me as much as you can. i want to become good at this. Thank you!

Monogame genuinely scares me, but I also want to best learn how to program

I have had an interest an game dev for a while, and have been interested in many different engines, but I didn't like how engines like godot seemed a little too hand-holdy, while other engines like gamemaker didn't you c# at all, as it was a language I wanted to learn, so i looked to monogame.

Monogame scares me, because while it grant you incredible freedom, I dont want to have to build a full fledged engine just to make a game. However, I do recognize that it would give me lots of practice with learning how to use programming languages to solve problems, even if there's barely anything there to build off of in the first place. Ultimately, I would like to know your experience with monogame, and wether or not so.eone likee should go for it.

Thank you!!!!

I want to create and post a webtoon, but I genuinely DESPISE the vertical webtoon format

I have a story planned out at this point, but I always see that every single webcomic I see, popular or not, are all formatted in this vertical format suitable for scrolling with like 50 meters of white space between them. All the comics and manga I was inspired by look completely different, and seeing that this format was seemingly completely abandoned for what is essentially youtube shorts style comic formatting has been a major detriment in starting my own series. I am afraid people won't read my stuff if I format it normally and upload it to webtoon or tapas or whatever

Do I have no choice but to learn to format my comic in this style, or would people still be willing to read a traditionally formatted comic online nowadays?
