I'm no expert on pixel art, but to my eyes those look too noisy and repetitive. Due to my lack of experience with animation and drawing water I can't really say what I'd change exactly, but maybe try and create larger, wave-looking patterns of smooth highlights or something like that? Maybe lengthen or put a pause in the animation if possible to make it seem a bit calmer too, if that's possible.

WATER TIIIIIIIIIIIILES

I think i mostly agree with Adriaan, the super shiny bits seem a bit TOO shiny, if that's even a thing. But, i still like it, it does look quite watery when one thinks about how a lake looks in sunlight with a mild breeze. c:

@matty: Oh it's okay, nobody ever notices me anyways.............

:<

Haha, kidding, always happy to compliment on great art!

meanwhile here's something that spawned from another "i can't sleep right now" night



it's a plant

i ♥♥♥♥ up the stem though

I laughed at the nam part more than I should've. It gave me mental images of the plant being in the Vietnam war for some reason :p

Also, I have to agree with the others, the water seems a little too shiny in my opinion. I'm no expert on spriting, but why not take a look at the way Transport Tycoon did it? The game was isometric, yes, but I think the water looked pretty good.

I dig the energy dome.

It's really a mushroom person, but without it it'd die so yeah, energy dome.

I have captured the essence of Kelas.

I hope this is for a game of some sort, I'd love to see mushroom armies fighting with that level of animation

That's the idea.
Here's some anims with better flow, btw.

Snazzy stuff brolizard, i must say i'm intrigued as to what exactly those sprites are being used in, even though you're probably just going to be all "lolsekrit". :U

@Cave: That is super Kelas, if he is to be used as an adjective. I think. I mean ♥♥♥♥ i don't know Kelas like the back of my hand but i'm reasonably sure he's a cool guy and also it's a snazzy style you got there and commas COMMAS COMMAS. That means i like it. c:

Also, decided to smack some colours on the plant thing.



It may have cost me valuable sleep, but it was fun to do, so hey!

he looks like a nice guy

Anims look sweet!

trying to use my tablet more often and finding my "style"
criticism would be cool

Will try to finally make that "mushkin game" thing, floating islands and all.

the curvy lines are cool but i dont like the scribbles shading
it looks like you drew the shape well but fudged it on the coloring in, and it doesnt look as good
basically less scribble
