Pixel Joint Forum: Are these pillow-shaded?

Message

   I've been remaking some 4 colors sprites i made a while ago using 8 colors instead, since i'm new to working with this amount of colors i am having a hard time separating pillow shading from working with more colors my A.A. Any advice will be highly appreciated.  

Thanks for reading.

	I think you're good; even though your light source is in front of the characters, the shading conforms to the actual shape of the form. Good work. I like the designs, too-very Metroid II-esque. As for things that could be improved, it might be a good idea to experiment with using darker colors to better convey depth, especially on the second creature.

	Thanks for the feedback! I was aiming at a top view-ish light source like those of space shooting games.
