I like it!

That's pretty cool. Shading is also pretty good. Its a bit too blocky though.

 

[Noah C.]

I know. It’s hard without thinking 1 shade part is too big or 1 shade part is too small.

Hey, made more! Tried to make the Pixel art as “smooth” as possible. Or… make the Pixel art not Pixel-y?

I would recommend trying to make smaller sprites first instead of going straight to large ones, that way you know how to use pixels correctly.

First one does look king of 8-bit video game, but the second one looks smooth.

Thanks for the tip, Depressed 0wl!
I tried some small enemies:

Those aren't small. As far as I can tell, that's 32x32. By small, I meant something about 16x16.

I’m making small sprites into more detailed ones, not from scratch.

Are you unable to make smaller sprites? You dont have to make smaller sprites more detailed.

Something about these look Chibi to me.

It has lots of round parts, and that’s understandable. It’s not what I thought when making it, but it is a way to describe it.
