Hell yeah, that looks great. And I can relate. Inanimate things, fine. Living things.. That's why I personally went so low res, so that the living things end up looking like blocky robots, but have just enough detail they look like a person. An alternative is to make very abstract characters.

going super low res kinda bums me out because like... at that point every sprite is just gonna be like.. a square or a ball I'm in this hypocritical middle space where I suck at drawing people, but I don't want to compromise because it looks dumb lol
