I want to start animating this, so I wanted to get some feedback. Thanks! |

It doesn't read like fly. More like an elephant kid with sleep blinds. Also, flies don't have antennae - they are not bees or ants. Regarding pixelart rendering, there are some nasty banding on sleep blinds's girdle. I like the palette though, although it could be more exciting, i.e. include different shades, like more bluish/violet dark, instead of plain gray. |

I tried rading up on banding and I am not sure exactly what it is or how to fix it in my case here for example. Can you or someone else help me with this? |

http://pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299&PID=139322#139322 see "fat pixels" there. The fix depends on the artwork. In your case it needs antialiasing. |

Alright, that is using pixels of different shades in the edges of the lines right? I am sorry if this sounds dumb. I know what anti-aliasing is but I want to make sure how it is done in specific cases. I wish that tutorial had examples of how to fix those problems in every case. |

That's good one aiat_gamer!
But be careful animating a similar "dark" color area such as the body,arm,legs. I suggest shift the color a little bit, so people can have a clearer sight of the body parts when moving :D |

| Thanks! I actually had a hard time picking out the colors for the base and the shade. I will probably try out different color shifts to make things a bit clearer. |
