Dead serious. I find it pointless to use whatever npa tool you used for the sky, as there are so many near value colors that just undermine the whole point of pixel art. Same goes with the faded tree leaves. Also, I think this tree is too big to get away with, the way you're trying to light it up; looks as if there's a giant flashlight, flashing towards the top middle of it, in total disregard the sunlight itself. Now if this were 10 times smaller, and other similar trees next to it, like a normal side scroller, than the lighting could work in a tiling mindset for a game, with regards to the direction of the lighting. However here, it just looks as if you relied completely on the use of the "dirty tool", rather than your own brain to figure lighting.
Sending back for revision for NPA, and Wip only belonging in forums...finished pieces go in gallery....
