i love in your downstairs picture that the pillows arent lined up and completely horizontal, or that the books in the bookshelf arent all pushed in at the same degree... a lot of pixel art tends to look way too orderly bc i think its easier w pixel art so it's lovely to see art that has a more 'lived in' feel!
thank you! i’m glad people notice that stuff because it’s something i always keep in mind. i don’t have the time or manpower to add a completely realistic level of detail to these environments, but i like adding little touches to make it feel like a lived in world. stuff like the misaligned books on the shelves, or the coasters on melody’s coffee table, or the cup she left at her desk. it makes things more authentic and less sterile. and also just from a visual standpoint it’s good to make sure not everything in a shot lines up perfectly on a grid
