For your literally first time ever doing pixel art, this is way better than any art I’ve made. I did take an art elective in school, but didn’t enjoy it all that much. I am not an art person, much more involved with the sciences and music, and so I’m probably not the best person to rate this. I agree though, if the red knight was bigger it would help gather more details, I don’t know if pixelart.com allows you to change the pixel size but that could have been another way to increase precision. At the moment the eyes feel too low and small but the rest of him was done spot on. Underappreicated factor is the background, I am genuinely very impressed with the shading, keeping that Castle Crashers feel. That game is the only one I’ve played straight from Newgrounds as far as I remember.
