Be sure that it can be nice resized to the icon size.

Oof, I dunno, it looks horrible i think, don't know if that the point, some kind of ironic take or something.

If not, then a few pointers:
- you mix a few resolutions which is a bit of a nono.
- the colours (specifically the magenta, yellow and green) are sticking out bad
- its unclear what the main thing is in the drawings.

anyway, i think to move forward the best advice probably is to get away from a mouse and software and just get out a piece of paper and pencil and start doodling, maybe practicing even, you want to draw a bunny, look up some examples and draw them on paper.
next up would be picking a small palette you like and just use that, it saves you from having to decide about color tones.

then when you have some design on paper the job of getting it in the computer starts i think.

And i think its a good sign you're posting these and asking, you can get a lot better with that attitude.

:ultrahappy: :rofl: Wow! Thanks a lot! That's exactly the type of comment I needed(as I'm not very good with digital drawing).
Are you referring to the new ones(I hope so) or the older ones(which I already know are bad) or/and also the clipboard( :cry: :rofl: ) ? Or all, anyway I'm focusing on these new ones. :awesome:

Yes, love the honesty! I'll take the advice and maybe come back with different ideas! :joker:

I am not saying the idea is bad tbh, I dunno,
I don't know if a thread like this is appropriate,
but let's kick off by me asking you:

what is the idea here?
I've read this: 'The player dies a lot in this game and jumps to avoid being hit by pendulums!'

can you for post a screenshot or something, i kinda feel like helping a bit more then just saying it needs improving.

oh and by the way, from the way you're drawing i sort of can tell a bit of a laziness, its not bad , or well that's what i tell myself about my own laziness ;) , but maybe a more lazy route then you learning to draw is just grabbing some existing free images and design them a bit graphically, but first the idea , what is it ?

I'm planning to improve on this idea, with credit to darkfrei. The deathbunny version. :awesome: :P . That's the basic gameplay right there, aiming for android casual.
Oh, and I mean change idea for icon/game graphic styles...but I don't really know what else to use. Thought the bunny was okay. I was thinking something like Image ?
or Image?
ps: not drawn by me :rofl:
