Beautiful work! I do think I noticed a slight mistake, the label on top of the can says "insets" rather than "insects"

These are great!

Thanks! Good point about the cave entrance actually, I initially made this tileset with smaller characters in mind, that's a bit of a hold-over. Might update it in a bit and change that.

Anyone know why all these Paul Robertson pieces suddenly popped up? Looks like he posted them all in 2016, not at all recently.

incredible use of such a small palette

Yeah just caught that flicker lol, it's on the first frame. gotta fix that.

I love this. Please tell me there's more coming. 

Only crit: Her eyes are a little tough to read on the large sprite.

These read really well. I'd love to see them in motion.

You'd be well served by upping the contrast a bit. A lot of detail is lost when all the colors are so similar in value. Great work overall, you have a good understanding of anatomy, even with regards to anatomically impossible human creatures.

@ptoing: WOW that looks really cool. I was making this with NES restrictions in mind but I forgot my palette had some desaturated colors in it. It looks so cool with the bright NES colors. When I get some spare time I do want to see if I can implement these tiles in a game of some kind.

holy shit

love these.

great stuff. Only problem I have with it is a bit of trouble reading the nose. At a glance it doesn't look like she even has one.

I think you'd have no trouble AAing this piece with the colors you already have.

Really strong piece, but it could seriously benifit from some AA.

Looks really great, I like the overworld sprites particularily. Only thing I would change is making the front/back view sprites bob up and down like the side view sprite, for consistency and livelyness. The portrait I think could really use some work to make it less busy and more coherent. Try focusing more on using shading to show form, and using larger clusters of color, rather than focusing so heavily on smoothing and anti-aliasing.

Anyways, I really dig this. The palette really captures the SNES feel.

Love it. The weekly challenge is absolutely stacked this week. 

I would advise using a much darker color for the outline, as it stands it looks more like the face is being blended into the background, rather than cleanly separated from it. 

So cute!

looks great, I think you just need to work on the eye a little. Looks like we're looking at it head on, rather than from the side. Also, if you're going for this level of realism, might as well give her four fingers. Other than that, really smooth, great stuff.

Really great stuff. Love the palette. 

Very cute. My only crit would be that without outlines, her arms and torso become difficult to read. 

Oh ok, yeah now it makes more sense. Is this going to be playable at some point?

Looks great. I think you would be well served by adding a little more motion to the attack animations though. In fact, the frames of the little red guy leaning forward for his dash could easily be resued for the attack animation. Right now, it looks like he's just sort of lazily flicking his sword, without putting any weight into it.

Also maybe throw some motion bluring/smearing on the green guy's attack animation so it's more clear what he's doing.

Really great stuff overall though.

very confused by the shading on this one. the consistent highlight around the edges seems to imply that it's flat like a button, and the little line down the middle makes it look like it's sort of... folded. You'd be much better served by a single, circular highlight somewhere on the ball's surface.
