First try ever at a tileset.


First try ever at a mockup.

• How bad does it look?
• Too many colors?
• Is the background too distracting?

And mostly... how can I improve?

like the boxes, green sculls look a bit muddy.

>    Too many colors?
dunno

>    Is the background too distracting?
what background?

Make the resolution 3-4 times as large and try rework the tiles at that resolution.

Probably the worst advice I've ever read.

You have WAY TOO MANY COLORS! You should probably be using about 12 color in this image, you are using 203 or so! It doesn't look bad at all. The green face is probably the least attractive one. You can improve by doing pixel art like a pixel artist. Using a limited palette. I'd start with single colors and work my way up. A basic 16 color palette can get you started. http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=4306.0 Here's a link to a palette/discussion about it to get you started.

In-game


I used the palette you linked me. Is it better?
