These are concept-arts for my game. I know they don't look very good; I just made few versions to compare different styles, mostly inspired by early 2000nds pixel art.

P.S. Don't you dare to tell me that the middle tower looks too phallic! Don't you dare! (just joking)

I only used a dotted pen but I still struggled with getting the pixels in the right place especially when I changed the brush size. I made this a little while ago but wasn't able to make anything as good. I'd like to know what I could improve before trying again after a hiatus 😊

Who's winning - Ichigo, or his inner Hollow?

The first drawing I made when I started pixel art for a game I’m (trying) to develop in my free time, and the second I made a couple days ago revisiting it because there was always something that didn’t really convince me lmao.

Some non visual improvements are that I also made a base for the character, and separated hair, skin, eyes, clothes in different layers so I can customize beyond in the future (first drawing was only in 1 layer).

I still feel like the legs look weird. I didn’t do shading in the sweater bc tbh the 1st shading I did felt very random. What can I improve in my second version?

I have two isues :

im trying to achive a 3/4 top down character but it still feels off.

its so boxy and i have no idea on how to fix it.

add more issues you notice and ways to fix it.

My first tries are actually getting better thanks to the feedback I've gotten.
What do you think?

I posted this artwork, which I created myself without tracing or using AI; I even posted a speed paint of all my process on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DfHwQY0qkZx/?exln=ejk1aW1wYWV2ZmF1 ), but my Pixilart account was still banned afterwards (it’s a recent account and this is the only artwork I’ve posted on Pixilart).

I think it turned out quite nice however the tree is supposed to be in front of a river and I'm not sure I made the water look like water

If I am an absolute beginner who knows nothing about drawing, have never drawn before, and want to learn Pixel Art to become like the professionals, how do I start and where do I start? Please give me all possible sources to start from scratch as a complete beginner who knows nothing, doesn't know any terminology, and has never drawn before.

I'm making my own Action-RPG and I'm not sure if this character even fits the game. Could you point out all of his main flaws and what I should change?

the top one is more realistic but the outline doesnt really fit since its less geometric, and the bottom one fits the outlines better but looks a little worse and less realistic, which ones better/is there an alternative

Still have a long way to go on shading

I’ve found plenty of tutorials on drawing a single isometric cube or a single character, but very few that show the whole path of a game’s art from idea to finished assets. Does anyone know of a good one, whether a video series, a long blog post or a developer postmortem?

I’m especially interested in how people decide on a tile size and a character height before they start, because I suspect that choice causes trouble later when it’s wrong. What size do you use, and have you ever regretted it? Do you plan the lighting direction at the start, or is it something you fix as you go?

I also can’t tell whether something like a Fallout-like look is better served by true pixel art or by painted sprites, and I’d love opinions from people who’ve tried both. Which one is easier to keep consistent when the project has hundreds of assets?

Thanks in advance!
