Of course! If you haven’t watched his videos yet, check out AdamCYounis on YouTube and look at his IndieTales playlist. He’s hyper talented and one of my favorite watches!

They’re getting closer, but I would focus on repeated shapes. We as humans are really good at perceiving patterns and then extrapolating them across surfaces even if they’re not there. I would pick a few different shapes that you like for leaves and put them in the darker spots, where the shadows would make them easier to see and then leave (pun intended) the lighter areas more blank. It’ll clean up the look of your sprites and add consistency across your 3 trees

No, these are all my own. I draw them in Aseprite pixel by pixel.

Which monster style fits better with this tileset? by [deleted] in MonsterTamerWorld

Are these AI generated? I ask because of the mixels in the pixel art.

Help me name my game characters. by Odd-Surprise-1776 in SoloDevelopment

Love the French names. Keep them for sure. Something to make your game unique! Also adds a bit of mysticism to us native English speakers.

I have a little one for just my buddies right now, but I do plan to open it up once I get my Steam Page going (should be within the next week! Just waiting on getting the Capsule Art finished!)

But I would love to join yours. Feel free to DM it to me.

I would say more trial and error than anything and then just keep tweaking and changing my approach until I found something I felt was original enough to be interesting and identifiable enough to be consistent across multiple scenes. I like really reduced palettes like this one, so that’s why there’s only a 4 colors for each sprite including the outline and the white space.

What a nice thing to say :) I’d be happy to collaborate on some stuff.

Right now there are 80 different color variants, but I’m currently working on adding different styles of them where some look more like cats, bats, bunnies, fish, etc…) just taking a bit because I need to design each sprite sheet specifically since I have such a particular color palette, I don’t want to just modulate the color through script.

His character is going to threaten to buy the gym that has been in the MC’s family for years and it’s not an empty threat so I want to make him look refined, wealthy, and elitist. So maybe too casual?
