I love pixel art. Pretty out of practice at the moment

This is my work area--I copy paste in case I screw up something or don't like how it's turning out. It's also fun to see how I progress and all the little tweaks I make, like deciding I needed a better palette than the one provided by Paint.

And because I'm a good girl, here's a closeup.

Any tips on how to shade the shirt? I'm totally stuck and it just doesn't look right.

Wow, I love what you guys have done. So envious of your talent, Hellbeard.

Temporal Paradox: On the running bit, I love how the ground has become, in essence, a treadmill.

Here's my finished work...pile.

I learned a lot about figuring out lighting first. :saddowns:

All that shading I did on the sprites and I end up blacking most of it out. I love how the moon and the blue light turned out though.
