Clubby Sprites and Stuff

[ClubbyBear]

The desk, while looks nice, is way too small to go with that soldier. The soldier and the gun are pillow shaded badly, as is Ness. You need to pick a light source. The block headed guys have the same problem, but for some reason, I still like them. As for that monochrome drawing... ugh, I don't think it counts as pixel art just because it's aliased.

Now those arcade machines, I really like them. The shading on them could use some work too, especially in terms of contrast, but I still like them.

Now, when it comes to shapes, you're doing good in that department. Fix your shading, and I think these sprites could become great. Keep it up.

Thanks for the tips! Are there any good tutorials you can link me too? Thanks.

Oh yeah, the stage was a rough sketch in Ms Paint
