Hi! I started another pixel art of a platform game. His name is "Fred, the panda."
Did the scene already, but I need help on the character, I have it from the front, but not sideways. 
I need tips! |

The background looks good.
As for spriting, you need to think about the panda from a side view. Even if it sucks, you can make a first attempt and analyze what is wrong, if something's wrong. The best thing to do is to get some reference pictures. |

| On closer inspection I see messy spots in the blue back ground of the background. Those spots of brown on the trees look weird. |

Had stopped working with this mockup, but I decided to go back to it...
I'm in doubt about what to do on the trunks of trees. The character already almost done. Tips?

| I like the grass it looks pretty neat. Good job so far but I'm afraid I can't really offer much except that the trunks look kind of akward :/. |

Bottom ground tiles could be more seamless. The trees are proportionally really off, or at least unattractive. The trunks are either too stubby or the leaf canopies are too meek. ------------- |

| @jalonso Do not quite understand what you mean. If you can explain better? |

The proportion of the treetops (leafy part)vs. the trunks looks wrong. There may be trees with this proportion but here its just off. Think of it this way, why would a trunk that fat in such a lush environment as a forest make such a meek canopy. In a desert maybe but not here. That trunk would flourish. Tree sense :p ------------- |

@jal I have not changed much of what you said, but I made this new edit
Also changed some things like the name of the game (which is no longer Fred). Do not know what I put, I'm still thinking... |
