    not satisfied because it is ugly. The only thing I am happy with is that clew.

    But there is hue shifting. Maybe I used too little saturation...

    you probably did, but you did it the "safe" way. Hue shifting is not a formal thing that differs good art from bad. You shall understand how it influences the work - try hue-shifting colors further from the initial color and you will see where to stop.
    Here's a quick example

    Dark green here is actually blue and light green is actually yellow.
    I did not apply hue shift to brown color though.

    Wow. Kay then, I'll try. Probably I should also change the light source angle.

    better, but I guess applying more shadows to tree crown will make it look less flat.
    Gloss effect will disappear when you will apply texture later.

    Ju 87 R-2 resized.png Although i don't do pixel art to often, ive made quite a few guns and such for various games that i used to work on. (small games that i always started and within a week got bored of and abandoned) my latest one is of one of my favourite WWII German planes. I usually shade my drawings to a degree, but i liked this one without shading. any opinions on it is helpful.

    I meant some low-level detalization.
    Here's a rude pix to demonstrate what I mean.

    You should've seen it as a week ban. Go back and post on that thread again. You're so inspiring.I mean, you walk in and say "Hey I made this with paint".
    Edit: Did you use google to translate the pic name? :)

    Decided to roll with a WWII theme and made this to go along with the plane. Although together the are not to scale with each other, i might fix that later. A Mercedes Benz 770, the car Hitler and many of his higher ups used. Mercedes Benz 770 W07 Landaulette resized.png

    On the risk of rain sokina, whats up with the random top layer or light gray pixels at the top?
    ALSO ON THE STARBOUND CHARACTERS YOU USED DIFFERENT SIZED PIXELS NONO THAT IS A NONO!!!

    The only differently sized pixels on the starbound characters are the ones in the logos above each sprites head, which is fine as it is not part of the sprite itself. Although I will agree that it doesn't look as good as it would if it was all the same size.
    As for me I'm trying a style of sprites that draw influence from the ones in Scott Pilgrim vs the World

    Still undergoing refining and tweaks.
    Oh almost forgot, the goal of these sprites are to not exceed 8 colors. 8 color club ftw
