I name all my pieces with the random name if they are not used in a game ( that's the reason of the random name ).

I'm now uploading old pixel art so there is no a change in the style except for 3 that i will upload in future.

I'm really trying to learn copying the techniques of diferent pixel artists but i need to say that is so hard for me. Maybe i'm not the type of guy how can learn with speed but i'm not an experienced pixel artist so i think that i'll need time and patience to create something better.

About the palette i'll not use any other since i need to use it for my games and it's complicated to learn about a mono palette so i'll need to practique a lot.

Thanks for the comments, i know that you are not "yelling" me, just trying to make me create better pixel art.

This is a very good way to make me think about what i need to learn.

Thank you.

Considering you uploaded yet another "Random xx" piece, I'm not sure you do. You need to put more effort on exploring different concepts, applying those concepts and studying other people's work to see how they've dealt with them, and not push out more and more "Random xx" pieces. Pushing out 100 Random pieces doesn't mean you learn anything all, it's not about the quantity. There is no prize or a level up waiting when you hit some number.

There's nothing to learn in the palette; sure, you can be stubborn and stick with it because it's part of your "gamedan" thing, but there's nothing to be gained from continuing to use it. You're not gaining any meaningful experience by sticking with it, and you're not learning anything with it.

You can create better pixel art if you want to, but do you really want to?

I understand what you mean, i need to put more effort on it to create new pixel art.

About the palette i need to learn about it and i'm planning to use only this one to gain more experience with it.

I hope that i can create better pixel art.

But are you? What did you learn between, say, Random 34 and Random 62? Or Random 41 and Random 42?

What I mean is, you don't learn how to fix a car by fastening and unfastening the same bolt over a over again. It's not about how many pieces you can put out, there's no xp bar going up and no level up in sight just by repetition.

It's not about making very complex scenes either. You need to be aware of different concepts, like colors, shading, composition, etc, and then try to apply those things. That's how you will learn, by stepping out of your comfort zone and doing something completely new to you. Figuring out what works, and then iterating, trying again from a slightly different angle. Study other people's work to see how they have applied these concepts, and then try, and try again.

I understand this palette is part of the "gamedan" setup, but if you want to learn, put it aside for a while.

Yes, i'm trying to learn about pixel art. I know that the most are really simple pieces but i really don't know how to make complex ones by now. In future we'll see.

I'm curious - and I hope you don't take this the wrong way - but what is the idea in these random pixel arts? I mean, are you seeking to improve your skills, or just do stuff? What happens when you reach your arbitrary numeric goal, assuming there is one? Would reaching that number with lots of random pieces be more satisfying, than slowing down a bit and pushing your self more and more, and demanding more from yourself, and see that bear fruit?

If you're really that interested in your palette choice, you ought to use less black and white.
