so what im trying to do is create an undead knight, in a cave like environment. using the gameboy palette but having a bit of trouble. with the character. firstly it doesnt feel like a knight a second it blends in to much with the background...

level put together with tiles below


tiles and character


i also feel like given the scale of everything else i may of made the knight like a few pixels to tall...

so what you all think?

Nice contrast for active element. But these wooden support planks look like the bark is still on them. They could be made more wood-looking by increasing the length of radial section lines.

Wood is actually a quite complex subject

"Sapwood is the living, outermost portion of a woody stem or branch, while heartwood is the dead, inner wood, which often comprises the majority of a stem’s cross-section. You can usually distinguish sapwood from heartwood by its lighter color.

But, color in wood can be very misleading; not all heartwood is dark and not all dark-colored wood is heartwood. And, the relative amounts of sapwood and heartwood in any stem can vary greatly among individuals, species, and growing conditions."
