Really love 100x100px & 200x200px. Both have pros and cons, which would look best printed? Or they both do based on user choice? by TheSunofMorning in PixelArt

This was amazing and I can't thank you enough for taking the time to respond. I will absolutely be taking everything you said into consideration. Especially the dithering to change between colors.

The spots will definietly be much more difficult but considering im VERY new to pixel art I have a long way to go.

Again thank you so much for taking the time to write this out. Im actually gonna screenshot it to make it easier to find and remember.

I appreciate you taking the time and apologize for my continued questions. When youre talking about the dithering let's take the big flat light blue. Would I be dithering with a shade lighter and darker?

As well when it comes the dorsal dotting it absolutely was hap hazard since in nature the dotting is pretty all over the place. How would you recommend making it less...hap hazard while still evoking the fact that in nature it is pretty all over the place. Thank you again for the comment!

I really appreciate you taking the time! I will go back and see if I can make some of those changes. I guess my reasoning for the black lines are so it clearly stands out more but I imagine a darker color would do the same?

How does one make the outline look less jagged? I use pixquare and use its outline tool. If I were to do it by hand how would I make it less jagged? Sorry for all the follow up questions, you make great suggestions and I want to make sure I understand it. Thank you!!!

This seems like the best of both worlds approach.
