@PixelDust

The buoy? that thing on the fishing rod?
Yeah that's a little big hahaha

Btw I checked your profile, I voted on your art "The Offering" for the weekly challenge a few days ago, what a coincidence.

@pyrometal

Yeah I agree, but it's the style of this game, I couldn't change much and do anti aliasing and other stuff.


And they didn't care how much color it have too, they just wanted to be good looking and have shadow.

Hey, this is pretty good

Another couple tips for improvement:

1. You have rough banding with the sand shading leading into the water

2. You used semitransparency which significantly bumps up the number of colors in your piece (the chair shadow)

epic piece the water animation is really well done
but I feel like the dobber/bobber (that's what call them right ?) should be a bit smaller it makes the perspective feel a bit off but great nonetheless
