I'm talking about that good'ol illusionary of colored dots to bring out a world behind.

@Vilgotsky
there is nice hand painty texture work to the dirt on the ground, and the work to make grass look like grass - even the backshadows to the roof, trees, and organic chunky bits on the trees.. the fur nicely shaped over the man. You've got a thing - but it looks flat! Like a paper (doll?). And I think this could be defeated wiiith... ZELDA PERSPECTIVE. But you're doing outside work, so here are other points.

 I think you could excel your look with dithering, and color play. By color play, I mean breaking the rules and making shadows of different colors to pull out colors more* (lack of better word, rim lighting or color correction) - aswell as more attention to what colors go together to make your shapes - the places where you think you're seeing something, but it's really a trick of colors is a master play. A place where this is the most fun would be around character faces.. to escape the drawing look - smudges of color where you conceive shadows can do as much as bring out a full rosey cheeked face. *classical~* *color theory~* *ooo* just pixel art.

The last thing I think you could really really have fun with, is the color black!
Since you know the full screen - you can focus the players eyes by nulling out un-needed details of things,
aswell as create a more cohesive look by putting unorganized clunks of black where your darkest colors are.
The chunky'ness from this can really strongly do what games do.. which is look cool.

Harsh up-front looking comments with helpful kind thoughts behind the intentions. That's what pixel art is to me due to pixeljoint forums and the old critiques 'ere round 2005.
"it doesn't really appeal to my tastes" fix dat

Don't know if it counts as pixel-art, but i released a tool on itch.io, that let's you convert normal images into pixel art, with various filter options



you can already check it out here if you want: https://the-l0bster.itch.io/pixiroller

I'm making a fire simulation (again).
This time with even bigger pixels, and log physics.

Tinypic does not exit anymore.. Thats why my avatar arent showing.. I lost a lot of art because of it.

That's the opposite of a demake, and very beautiful

Thanks.. I got the term completely wrong damn it..

[JobLeonard]

A small mistake, easily fixed. The beautifully re-imagined artwork is a lot more valuable than that

100% made in windows Paint, except for the transparent background.
