Pixel Art The Cave of Goblins

Hey Everyone,

This is another pixel art drawing that I wanted to create for some fun, I was speaking to a few friends about the "Dark Souls" series and I was starting to get back the nostalgia feeling when I used to play it. So I thought about making a pixel art about a beginner knight character entering a cave but what he doesn't expect is to have it filled with goblins. Here is the breakdown of how I made this. Basic background with character Add background elements and foreground elements Decided to meat up the foreground a bit Added some smoke for atmosphere. I was gonna put a shield and have a cave light come from above but I thought a torch would be more ambient. Toning up the main character Added a reflective light and a gradient to finish.
