They sort of look okay for a 16-bit demake of Super Mario 3D World assets imo...

What do you think I could do to improve them?

Maybe take notes from the designs of many of the 16-bit graphics from 16-bit games. Mostly the 16-bit shading on sprites and GFXs...

i'm aware that i'm 5 days late, but i think that they look great. you can only see smb3-styled GFX so many times before it gets stale.

So I decided to work on both versions of mah custom Mario sprites, because why not Zoidberg?

Thank you! At first I wanted to do a SMB3 styled project, but I wanted to make some custom things to give it more personality at least, so I might make more things like this in the near future.

If you don't like it, please tell me why.
It's supposed to be an 8-bit Overworld tileset if you're wondering.

I'm assuming it's a beach tileset. It looks alright but would be a lot better with shading unless that's the style you're going for.

I like the progress so far. The tileset reminds me of a hybrid of 8-bit Super Mario Bros. 1 & 8-bit Super Mario Bros. 3 styles in early (NES) game style.

I think the grass is a bit too thick. Try making it shorter and it might improve the overall look of the tiles, even if there isn't any shading included.

You can make a grass tileset look both thick and good, it's just a matter of knowing what you're doing.

Even if these are meant to be 8-bit I still think you could add some extra detail to the grass, and maybe add a shadow to it.

I finished the basic part of the tileset, now for the complex parts.


Added after 10 hours, 26 minutes and 20 seconds:
Hey, before I start working on the complex parts, I have a question, which version of the tileset do you all think is best?

The left version is better, the curved surfaces look nicer than the jagged ones.

I agree, the rounded edges are better.

Alright.

How about this one?

That one is better yes. The previous round one while looking better can result in the player falling off cliff due to it being a little hard to tell where the slope ends.

Epic.

It gives me some Kirby's Adventure vibes.
I think those tiles could really improve with a bit of shading.

But they're 8 bit.

There has been shading in 8-bit.

The curtains in Zelda II, for instance, has shading.

Or like I said, the tileset of Kirby's Adventure has some sort of shading too.
8-bits does not necesarily mean flat colors.
