I draw pixel art sometimes, here's some I made :D

This thread is
OPEN
again, because I now know quite a bit more about pixel art, I may still make some mistakes, but do not expect any more eye savaging :D

EDIT: I think this one is the best I've created thus far:

P.S: If you ever want someone to draw up some pixel art for you, just P.M me, I usually get on here whenever I have free time (Which I always have throughout the week) or when I'm done with a piece of pixel art :D

I like to draw me some pixel art, I draw item pictures for minecraft too sometimes, but I also like drawing some actual full pictures, either original ones or pixelizing pictures I like. I like showing my art to people, so that's what this thread is for, enjoy :D

All of the not-so-good stuff I made before I learned some stuff:

Ow. Ow. OW. My eyes!
You're doing it wrong. Like very wrong. I can't even call it bad dithering, simply because it's not even dithering at all, you just put checkerboard over everything and made it rape eyes. Also banding. Also pillow-shading, especially on the robe.
See what you have done wrong, like, most of the points in this post are present in your thing.

Also, you use a lot of gradients (especially in Minecraft sprites, especially dynamite), and that is pretty bad when it's pixel art.

Kot finishes his morning routine in the same way he always does, by burning a scale replica of Saint Basil's Cathedral on the windowsill.

Thank you for pointing these things out, and I am quite amateur, just got started not too long ago actually. But I will improve with time and practice, this is basically a portfolio/timelapse of how I'm progressing. But again, thank you for the info, I will be sure to read up a bit (lot) more on how to dither. And I will come back when I learn how to do it better. Thank you for your constructive criticsm :D
