I know you guys tell me you are a bit clueless when it comes to my pixel art, but here's just an update on my progress?

I am doing whole dragons now, not just heads, and here are the latest ones:

My OC Arydun (3 1/2 hours)

Random Dragon (4 hours)

Eile, someone's OC (5 hours)
Image

Havoc, someone's OC (2 hours)
Image

Feedback?

Yay, I love these! They are really, really cool! I love to see your stuff colored and the pixel thing is not something you see everywhere x)

These are so perfect I don't even know what to critique ^_^ My favorite one had to be #2. The colors, designs on its body, and pose were really awesome. I stared at it for a while :)

I also liked Havoc, although it reminded me a lot of Toothless from How to Train your Dragon. I don't know how hard it would be on pixel art, but on Havoc maybe if you zoomed up a bunch and put some detail in the eye it might bring out more intensity. Because the pose and colors are really intense, but the eye is kinda blank.

On Eile, it took me a while to figure out how the face was, but that's my only critique. The head's shaped kinda funny so I had a hard time finding the eyes, nose, and mouth.

And the first one is great! It's just my opinion, and I know this is an OC, but maybe it could use a few more colors? Maybe a yellow-er tummy or maybe areas of darker green or something.

Great job! I love seeing your art!

Thanks a lot :D

Yeah, I agree that Havoc's eyes are pretty plain and uninteresting compared to the rest of its body. I was using a ref sheet made by the owner and that's how they looked. But do you mean I could add something like shine to make it stand out more?

Eile is one strange dragon (the owner has an awesome imagination). He's an Egyptian dragon, to explain why he looks the way he does. I was in fact worried no one would be able to figure him out because of how...unique he is XD.
Drawing it was a bit of a pain.

And I might consider adding colors to Arydun in the future, and maybe even changing her designs :o

I was thinking more like a pupil or iris, but a shine would help too. I imagine if you just used a snake's eye as a reference you could follow that pretty well.

Ah, yeah the colors do look pretty Egyptian now that you mention it :) I thought it looked kinda like a goose or something. With a blue bill (or maybe that's just me) But it's a great drawing! Looks complicated x)
