Zydras' Art and Sprites?

[Zydras]

Hey hey hello, relatively new to both SS13, Paradise station and using forums like these. In my free time i'm most likely going to either draw or sprite things. While I struggle to have a drawing schedule, I do tend to sprite faster than I can draw, which means this gallery should? Be mostly spritework? With the occasional sketch or drawing, of course.

Let's start with two rather simple sprites, the first being a dirt mound!!

Meant to replace the little lumps of dirt inside the kitchen farm, It not only is smaller to allow space between the lumps (32 pixels to 24 pixels) but also looks much, much less noisy. Though, it does make the mound of dirt look somewhat like a cookie. Of course, i'm quite open to critique on said mound of dirt as i'm trying to learn more than just create pixels!

The second little thing i've made is also simple: a toaster!

This one was more of a test than an actual sprite I intended to add into the game, especially as it lacks any handles. Going to be hard to toast those slices of bread.

Anyhow, if i'm posting these here, it's for two things:
1. Getting critique to help me improve my spritework
2. Getting ideas on what sprites I could improve, because to be frank, I'm clueless most of the time.
I'll be eager to hear more from you all, friends! <3
