I really love the backdrop. The only things I don't like would be, the black lines around everything looks odd... -------------

your clouds are strange, the circle technique is ok for the sky, but seemes strange for clouds (AMHA)...
As Souly said, the black lines are not welcome. And the grass is not finished as you said, really want to see it finished ^^ ------------- Mindiell French n00b |

I think you should make a second grass tile, it's a bit boring with a single one. Sidenot : AMHA is the french for IMO |

okay I hope I can make myself clear... when the second lightest blue of the sky fades into the third lightest you have some nice, small dots to help with the "dithering" but when the first lightest fades into the second you seem to have restricted yourself to large and medium dots. If I were you I'd toss in some small dots and perhaps even overlap where 1st meets second into the area where 2nd meets third to make it smoother visually. I find the strip where there are NO dots to draw attention when what you probably want (given this is a background) is a continuos and interesting, but ignorable, backdrop. and I like the idea of keeping the same shading for the clouds, but clouds are generally shadowy on the bottoms and light on the top, so perhaps the reason it currently looks odd is because you have a shadow all around the edges and the side of the cloud fully lit. Commonly this is called pillow-shading, and although I've never seen it done with such flair, it's still akward and a bad way to shade. and if this is a mockup for a real game then I have a question: how would the little man on the far right get under the shelf he's currently on? he's too big to walk under it! maybe raise it a bit? ------------- www.semesteratsea.com |

I'd go with the foot over the edge thing, looks weird. Not to say there
aren't games out that do it, just you have nothing else going on to
back it up as a style choice. I really like the way you have gone about dithering the sky, funky! ------------- http://hawken.dadako.com/skillset.pixel.php?page=main - my pixel page! |

I agree with jj but then I almost always like black outlined pixel art. I think you went a tiny bit overboard on the sky though. I like the style just a little too much.
