Tygrin's Sprites [WIP]

[Tygrin]

If you're looking for suggestions with the rock, how about using anything but shades of grey? Using muted colors for the highlights and shading for the rock instead should give it a little more interest than anything between pure black and white would provide.

For the rocky ground tiles, I think you should make a few that are different so it's not so repetitive. Either that, or make it fade into a solid color. A straight pattern like that becomes an eyesore after a while.

I'll try different color than grey for the rock :]

For the rocky ground tile, yeah good idea - but should I make a semi patterned 32x32 block instead of 1 solid color, just a block with less detail?  I agree with the eyesore bit, it's a little too jarring to see that detailed pattern everywhere. I'll see what I can come up with. Going to post more sprites here too for critique.

Slightly Different color rock:            

More Sprites:                                                                    

also it took me forever to make a tree, of all things. I am still unsure how I like it, I am using a low color amount for each sprite, like 5 shades per color and want the sprites a little more simplistic. Here is the tree I did so far, let me know what you think.    

Edit: Also if you want to see even the really bad stuff here is one -     I was trying to make a mantis shrimp as an enemy, they are very colorful and hard to do, most of my blocks are 32x32 or 64x so fitting in all that detail in a small space was difficult.

All the feedback has been very useful
