about art and shading - advises needed

Hi there,

first of all I wish to introduce myself. Prefered name is Helvi, usually lurking in some art rooms since I found my interest in pixel arts, I mean no mushrooms etc.

This 100x100 map was my first real project, not difficult at all but got alot through it for future projects.

Regards

Thanks Chewy for your feedback, I did a few minor changes to the map.

It would help if you posted a link to your level.

While I prefer color over a monochrome color scheme, I think the shading is fine, up to about the waist. From the waist on I don't really get what kind of clothing the person is wearing.

It looks good but theres something wrong with the back. Perhaps try making that line in the middle more curved to the right.

For your first project, I liked it. The shading was decent, though it seemed a bit underdone. I would add color to express it more.

Well, don't really know what you can do now, 'cause it's really good.

Thanks for your kind feedback, as long as I do not belong to any crew, group, team ...my fellow builders and bricklayer should sign my map with their name or signature Anyone up to ?
@Bam
If you have any advises while keep using 3 colors only? ...I appreciate any hints on using more colors as we don't have alot colors to choose from I think.

Yeah, I think it should remain with 3 colors too. It looks like an artistic photography, actually.

Why is there no shadow on the back, btw ?

Oh, and better link for the pic : http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/dvjoftiv/map_2.jpg

I liked it with the shadow on the back, but the black as the shadow was so dark, what about using another grey block instead?

Otherwise it looks awesome

I would only suggest adding a dotted line closer to the art so people can see it more close up
