[WIP] FF6-style Toad sprite sheet

[Iocus]

Ishimaru Chiaki, please calm down.

I understand it is upsetting that you would get a comment like this, but when you present art, criticism comes in all shapes and forms.

I, for one, agree that this comment wasn't especially helpful. Since her goal was seemingly to make FF6-like sprites, that's like telling her "That's no good, they don't meet the goal at all." (For the record, I doubt anything can get any more "standard RPG overworld" than classic Final Fantasy) For a newbie, vague criticism like that must be exasperating. Though the point of this topic isn't to criticize criticism so anyway...!

It's not like using your own colors is a total taboo, but you do have to keep in mind the overall "feel" of the style. FF6, for one, uses some pretty unsaturated colors, so a bright color like the red you're using does stand out. Since you are starting out, relying on the game's native palette might be a safer way to go.

Don't worry about 'skills' too much, your improvement will always be proportional to your effort, so if you have the will, you will improve.
