How can I make things "pop" more? Any random tips are appreciated since I am relatively new to pixel art / game dev things.

Here’s a pixel art miner character I created along with an animation of him striking a rock with his mining tool. I focused on keeping the character consistent while making the hitting action feel smooth and impactful.

Would love to hear your feedback!

This is one of my first pixel art animation for my game how would you rate it? Is it satisfying enough?

It feels like the legs are not switiching and moving how can i imrpove this? Should I use more frames?

I've been trying my hand at pixel art for a while now, but am just getting back into it after over a year. I decided I wanted to try portraits. It's definitely something I will try again but I am looking for some feedback to consider going forward. I know it's not one for one, but I think it looks pretty good. Any advice?

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 trying out bigger canvas size than my usual 16x16, by making a drawing and scaling it down, but for some reason it seems like the character looks a lot like a small child? How do i make her more adult-like?

I have started doing pixel dailies for the first time

I'm making a game and I feel that all my sprites have different styles. Am I overreacting or do I need to fix something?

Made in Aseprite. I really enjoyed trying out pixelart. I will def do it again!

the first two days of learning isometric , any feedback?

Hi!

I am trying to create pixelart parallax of landscape, and here is what I currently have. I feel like it doesnt look any good, and I am wondering if its because of my color choice, composition, perspective, saturation, general nature of the landscape or someting entierly else.

I am currently using the Journey palette: https://lospec.com/palette-list/journey

And I am also wondering: Should I save specific colors for background only, and specific for foreground / close objects? or should I just use same colors everywhere, but de-saturate colors in the far distance a bit?

I'm learning pixel art to help my friend achieve his dream of making a video game. This was made with no tutorials ( yeah it's bad) i just wanted to test how much i could do before start learning.
