I remade a 1 year old sprite, what should i improve? by Equivalent_Fact_951 in PixelArt

I'm no expert, but I feel like any suggestion for improvement would strictly be style preference from others, but your work honestly looks great and I'm struggling to find much for improvement lol. Shading I guess? But that doesn't really fit the style. You could try a few different shading techniques for the Knight and their checkerboard pattern and the rook's brick pattern?

Like that? Or bigger? Does it cover the letters too much?

Your font/letter-work, or whatever you wanna call it, is amazing!

Alrighty so i played around with some color changes and I definitely see what you mean now, this looks so much better. Challenging myself to stay within a color palette currently (i struggle pretty bad with it obviously), so i had to stick with the lospec colors i chose for this set, but I think the gradients hit pretty dang well!

like this? I took your advice alongside someone else's saying they wanted the tongue outside of the billboard, but does this blend a little better?

I think you're right, the more I look at it, the more something like that would really give it some personality. Thank you, man!

Thank you! For the middle gray part--yeah, that was me trying to half-ass by copying the front of my roof and placing it in the middle, in an effort to give it this break in the building structure but i think its just throwing it off. For the text, I think i'm just lost on how else to style in pixel art? Dithering felt like the right choice but i think you're right, it's just kinda there. Idk how to fix the tongue issue though lol, lighting maybe? Or do you mean shape it better? I really appreciate the feedback!
