I love the way you improved so much from the first picture to the last one!

It looks great! I wish I had that kind of skill, really

Well so far from what I have been experience thus far is that all you really need is the patience to do it. I have never worked on a room before and I am fairly new to pixel art. But I am trying to get the patience to do it oh and thanks for the comment!

Now thank you everyone else especially InCreator, all of the advice I have been getting is really really helpful, I appreciate it!

Well I have a new version, I haven't really got around to the locker yet but I am working on it!

I don't mean to double post but I am bumping the topic due to update.

Thank you again! I will definitely take these into account and make some more adjustments!

Wow that is extremely helpful! Really good reference material for myself! thanks alot.

Now time to finish making some adjustments.

Alright made some changes (the gradients of light ended up not being me doing it, one of my good friends actually using photoshop elements)

Well this is my first actual background. I have been pretty pleased with it and may have found another skill I have besides music. I am looking for C&C basically any advice you can give me in anyway.

But I  am not the best when it comes to lighting, I am able to deal with shadows but I'll just show you what I mean.
I attached two images:

Lighting:

No Lighting

Also just doing this for practice, but now I am inspired to possibly make a short little game based off of this room.

EDIT:

Fixed Lighting and Touch-ups:



EDIT 2:
Now with wall textures and added blood!


**Update: Added a character for test, although I am thinking that I like this character's look.**
Looking for possible critiques on character  style, lighting may or may not completely match this backgrounds lighting but I am trying to create a character that would match different levels of lighting, so I chose a level of intensity that was between light and dark.
Just as well, having a colorful character both in looks and in personality in dismal situations is my motivation.

I like the style! Also he seems like he would definitely stand out as a main character.

Well my try with the notebook



Your sprite is cute. Looks like a gnome, who is pissed because he has to wear an elf costume.

wow, I really like your version of the notebook!

And also you just gave me an idea which just inspired me to make a game about what you just said. Thanks!

Sorry about my weird post before, so yeah there you go!

Alright, well here are a couple things I made. I am looking for criticism. I am just trying to get better at this sort of thing!

well yah, actually sad and alone was for a silent hill fan game that was never made, and overworld was made due to rpgs back in those days lol, horror was just something I threw together at random.

bump, just want to see if anyone will check these out and reply

Well I made these over the past few days, hope you enjoy them! and criticism is definitly acceptable.

Yeah it's loopable, considering you will be working on the project I might as well show you when we talk again. But the flute right there is the main theme of the game. So just about every theme played will be based off of that theme.

i see what you mean but it's hard for me to decribe what exactly the scene looks like,  but well your in a cliff (i mean just basically one huge tower in the sky) but yeah, Ill try both ways however. Thanks

this song is for the game I am making about a baby turtle. This song is for the main area of the game, the cliffside. I am looking for some criticism. (sorry if I don't change this song, but what I do is I use the criticism in later songs)

haha yeah those were great

Yes it is mean't for a cinema type scene, and we really haven't created a time it is placed in, because for the most part the main character ends up in another world. (it may sound cliche but actually this shift is quite normal and there are very good reasons)

Yah this is going in a Mystery/Horror/suspense game that I am creating. It's going to go through a few changes but tell me what you think or give some critiques!

EDIT:
here is an updated version:

Firstly, when you make music, even if it's random. You want to know what type of song your making. That's why I compose for games is because they can give me details on the scene and I'll compose it. And yes I could never find any tutorials but look into that!

thanks for all the comments. I really appreciate it. I have made a slight change on the organ progression, I haven't posted it yet but I think it sounds good like this and it will be the last edit.
