Filler's Sprites

[Gors]

Mimicking handwriting is often a good place to create a very personal font, but even then you should try to streamline the visuals. Try checking how computer fonts are made, and you'll notice that most of them are made to be less obstrusive to reading as possible.

As for the character sprites, M&L sprites have that gray AA outline because Mario and co. are often placed against bright and saturated backgrounds (as it's a cartoony game). In your case, I think it doesn't really weld well with the brown, cozy color you chose for the house, though it's my personal opinion.

either way it's obvious that some help is needed regardless of AA'ed outline so I'll try giving more insightful posts when I'm more free
