Philadelphia eagles better.

please, and i mean PLEASE, no pillow shading.
an example of pillow shading
pillow vs nice
ok, sometimes, it looks good,
good parts
(its still KINDA bad, but i couldnt think of a better example)
but no pillow shading would be better than this

and also, simplify it because if you make a game out of this thing, animating it would be so hard by drawing all the details. and another reason of simplifying it is would be because not many people will understand what is going on here
what IS this??

so yeah, fix it.

for one it’s not impossible and if your wondering about the people who want to make the sprites for this game I can convert the sprites they made to fit in with the art style. plus on this joke post I made, I was showing off I made with the graphical quality around the sprite you were critiquing Makecode if your wondering if I have made something similar to it’s graphical quality https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/e/ea2ced0bbd26f64d3b8137797def92e7c75bbf96.png

I recommend you read https://www.derekyu.com/makegames/pixelart2.html and https://www.phonoforest.com/2020/05/3-major-mistakes-pixel-art-beginners.html

plus why do you need to fix something that ain’t broke? is the pixel art bad?

Same! Who needs the sun when you can have insanity and error messages. (Jk I do enjoy fresh air but still prefer code over football)

plus I forgot the mention is that I don’t do pillow shading all the time. I only use it for things that are shiny or reflect back at you like if it was clean object that why the character looks like that, not to mention this art doesn’t look that bad or looks like it needs fixing. actually does it kinda seem like a downgrade.

I don’t see the part where the art becomes objectively better on the sheet and the rocks they showed on there looks like clay not rocks and why would grass grow on rocks without the soil?
