Ok I took the feedback I've gotten so far and tried to put it to use, I played around with the original for a while but I couldn't get it right so I started from the ground up, this time taking into account the various tips and stuff from a few of you, I think its much better than the first try but I know its still not up to par with anyones best work. I appreciate the feedback and I am going to spend as much time as I can working to get better, hopefully my progress will show eventually.
I'm still pretty bad though Thanks for the info/feedback, I cant comment on the gallery for some reason so thanks to the people who helped on there as well. -Viktor Original (first try)

| I'm just a newb but the face seems too spaced to be effective... to me anyway. |

I agree now that you mention it, I wanted it to look like his facial features are sliding down as he melts but it does look odd, thank you for pointing that out lol
this look any better?

Hey, vast improvements, dude! c: great work.
I quite like this little scene. Poor little guy. I just have a few comments~ 1. that's a pretty dark cloud outline there. 2. the sun's rays, while iconic and cute, could be a little more uniform, possibly smaller. 3. Honestly, I think it might look good if you removed the tree and shifted the cone over a bit to the right. 4. What's the random grass bump near the cone? 5. I don't know how I feel about the green in the border. That being said, I do love the little golden crowns cx |

Awesome, Thanks for the ideas. I'm going to give em all a try, it does feel like there's too much going on with the tree there, i was thinking about changing the color of the sky too or something to make it a little less flat but i don't really know how lol I tried out the suggestions you made and i think it really helps, thank you :D  |

You are doing nicely. A bit more contrast should help a lot. When making pixelart look at your art at 1X and if you can't 'see' a color then that color is wasted and/or not serving a purpose. For example, you are using 3 greens but at 1X you really only see 2 so one is not needed. This also applies to the shading on the ice cream cone. --- FYI: When you make a WIP thread (unfinished or still working things out) and you submit to the gallery at the same time (completed and polished) then you confuse everyone because it could be a waste of time to give C+C when you're done (submitted) and the Mods ignore your submission because its an active WIP. ------------- |

| Thank you very much, very useful stuff to know, I can see what you mean about the "useless" colors, and I didn't even think about the gallery/WIP forum double posting thing, I just wanted to update my avatar but that's a good point, thanks! |
