As everyone can tell in my games, when I have to draw with pixels, I can't do it very well. Anything the experienced could help me with? Or is this one of those things you have to figure out for yourself? And I did do my current avatar...

This is all I can offer and must be known.

Color Tip: Using pallet shades when coloring. A lot of the time one might notice people use only two colors in their work, and some have way too many in an attempt to make something look real. Indeed, the number of shades one has will greatly affect the quality outcome of most pixelation work. However, too many shades of one color will not only take up space, but also look too sloppy. Three is the recommended amount, and four is good too. 5 IS RIGHT OUT (Monty Python; bless your soul)! Always keep in mind how many color slots are available in each pallet. I suggest one makes a new pallet for almost every new walkabout/hero, enemy, etc.

I have more I need to upload. However, they will never be seen unless everyone yells at IM about it. :)

Hopefully that will do some good for the time being, though.

I started a game with all that help but I can't do screenshots since I don't have a site Razz

. You'll see the game in a couple of days.
