Description
I received DD (omg, I'm so excited !)on my rest pixel art here: fav.me/da6v526
Encouraged, I put my steps as .gif to show process :>
Enjoy!

1. Simple lines. That's how I usually start with my pixel arts.
2. Colors lay down. Basic colors, they will most probably change slightly during process.
3. Moving background scene, I don't want it to catch much of attention.
4 & 5. Sword, backpack, tree shading. Improving dragon and village scene.
6. Testing my idea with grass turfts. Also my character colors were boring, not eye-catchy. Viewer might not feel what's most important. Decided for red shades.
7. Got rid off sword and grass ... it just didn't work. Put backpack in shadow, added colors to tree foliage.
8. Improving character design, changed color again. Added more contrast and shadow. Went extreme with blue-purple (reducing it later)
9. Here, I worked on tree foliage lines and basic shadows.
10. Texturing - here I decided for simple shading - nothing overly detailed - I don't want to keep viewer attention there that much or disctract him.
11. Minor details.
12. Final steps - shapes in background scene, added very important sword!
