      In order they are the: Ballista unit, cannoneer, billman, horsemen, great knight, and halberdier. I figured since I'm too lazy to sign up for a fancy smancy forum like pixelation, I'd come to this boring one! Nah, just kidding. Positive critique encouraged (: | |

Well.. There is a lot ot steel here and it seems that you just dont know how the light shed on the metal, so it doesnt really look good.
|
Darn, I didn't know that a misconception of light-source could depreciate the quality of the entire picture.

I think the biggest problem with the shading ( not just on the metal but also on the horse etc. ) is that it is almost gradient like and very linear in hue. try to find a color ramp that is a bit more organic.

On small objects like that, sprites in particular, it is best not to dither, it ends up making things look cluttered. Save it for larger pieces. That said, you definitely should work on your contrast, and dont be afraid to use reference material for how things should look. The Ballista and the Horse need alot of work in those departments. You want to add detail, but not so much to the point that you lose the readability of your work.
