No no. You're reusing colours too much. Every shade should be brand new. The higher the pallete, the cooler it looks!

real reply:
p cool edit but i dont think it's worth trying to make this style any good.

Not even thernz can make Robertson's style look appealing.

I will say

you pretty much nailed his style, Shawn !!

apparently the hate on probertson is the new black.

i'm gonna go ahead and say that i see pretty much nothing wrong with all the paul robertson shit and you guys are repeatedly bitching about nothing but ok

"this thread didn't have enough stupid and wrong in it, let me fix that"

I don't know much about this guy or his style and I don't hate it, but it kind of reminds me of the doodles kids who don't draw do only more polished. And everything about it looks extremely average.

Because Vipershark isn't allowed to have an opinion??? Apparently people like Paul's sprites enough to pay him for them. Over half of you don't make money off of your art.

Moral of the story: Critics do not determine what is good or what is crap for everyone. Critics determine what is good or what is crap for themselves.

i agree with viper. his stuff is just mediocre but really well animated. OH SHIT BUT HE'S POPULAR TOO AND IS SOMETIMES BAD AT TAKING CRITS THAT MEANS HE IS THE WORST ARTIST OF ALL TIME

shit

cool no one said he's the worst keep erecting strawmen out of nowhere?? he's a good animator and somewhere between "kinda bad" and "mediocre"
also, never said vipershark isn't allowed to have an opinion!!! so good job, telling that guy who thinks vipershark can't have an opinion otherwise, he must be a real jerk

Admin edit with what Dr. S said on skype:

[2:10:10 AM] Devin Chateau: "vipershark, can you perhaps figure out why a bunch of people who took the time to learn how to get better at pixel art, and therefore know what 'better' is because they have travelled that road themselves, think this person is bad, yet you, who have not, and therefore might not even know that there is a 'better' because you are not used to seeing it, do not think this person is bad?"
[2:10:16 AM] Devin Chateau: a bit sloppily worded but the point stands
[2:10: 33 AM] Devin Chateau: i guess i thought too highly of vipershark and assumed he could withstand that being said in a harsher way

Sorry, let me rephrase that:

Because Vipershark's opinion is "stupid and wrong"??? Apparently people like Paul's sprites enough to pay him for them. Over half of you don't make money off of your art.
