I should have submitted the finished version of that whole cartbeast walkthrough, but halfway through I started collecting my other sprites to briefly cover texture... and discovered I had a TON of sprites and wouldn't be able to "briefly" cover it. I threw color theory in there too since I do that now automatically.
Hope it's helpful, guys!

Quite excellent! I'll keep this as reference, since I have a hard time finding what to do for feathers, hair, etc.

I noticed while looking at the blue and yellow combination:
Blue + yellow = green
So I'm gonna go test if the same goes for yellow and red for orange shading, and maybe even blue and red for purple shading.
*10 MINUTES LATER.*
It worked for yellow + red =orange very well, and slightly worse for red + blue = purple.
Note: In red + blue = purple, Β light red = pink and pink can be blended with purple easily
~BECAUSE I HAVE TIME TO EXPERIMENT WITH THINGS~

Then practice! x3 Try lots of different methods, and do it often, and you will succeed where you think you currently fail. <3 That's the best advice I can give you.

Hey man, i found all ur artworks sublime, can i take some of them to put in a prototype of a indiegame enterprise here? Ill put all the credits of your work of course!

Please do not. Nearly all of the art I post here is being used by one site or another, and most of them have paid me in some way for them. The art that's not are personal dabblings and gifts for friends. If you'd like to hire me as an artist that would be fine, but please don't use anything currently uploaded.

That is, the highlight on the underside should be a lighter tint of the base color.* I was thinking of your green orbs when I wrote "green" in the original comment. XD Sorry.

Nice tutorial. I don't like the shading with highlights on both sides, however. It's too much; real objects will have a bit of reflected light on the underside, but it wouldn't be as intense as the highlight on the side with the direct light. I'd recommend a lighter green rather than a white for a highlight on the underside of your pixellated forms. It would be more realistic still. Just a thought.

I understood =3
I did this tutorial back in December, so I have learned a few things since then. One of them is, yes, there wouldn't be bright white in the shadows unless there was some intense secondary light source. The reflected lights could easily just be a brighter green rather than a harsh jump to white.
That's why I'd put that this wasn't really an end-all to all texture. There are plenty of ways to achieve the same feel, and my ways certainly aren't perfect
