WIP Custom Pokey Tower Sprites- A Newb's Thread

[LeleleleMAXIMUM]

What Raytheon means is:
You're both pillowshading, which is just shading a pixel or two away from the edge/next color. Bad practice, since this never happens. Mr L's lineart is better though, as it is rounder. And antialiasing is a good idea, but what Raytheon means is instead of AAing OUTSIDE of a sprite, it is better to AA INSIDE the sprite or within the lines (what some people call "selective outlining". if you need an example, just ask), because if you put the AA outside, your choice of backgrounds is limited. For example, if you put Mr L's sprite on a dark background, the gray colors would look lighter, and it will look bad.
Mr L's suggestion about adding variety is also good.
