Some winter birds that I sketched up, they're so much fun to draw and I am very happy with how cute they came out.
From left to right: Blue Jay, cardinal, stellar jay, finch, chickadee, redpoll, nuthatch, sparrow, cedar waxwing.
If you have any issues with my file just leave a comment, this is my first post. Thank you so much for viewing

This is very nice.
Truly awesome!
The Cardnal is only red when its a male that I have seen. Female Cardinals are not red but are mostly grays and browns on their feathers.

Sorry to say, but if you are licensing as CC0 you can't require credit. You can ask for credit and people can't say it is their work, but they aren't forced to give credit. You might want to choose a different license or just understand that some people might not give credit. Personally I license all my work as CC0 because I realize that games could have resources from many different places. At that point many are turned off by the fact that they would have to try and properly attribute for each little thing used. I want my works to be able to be used as easily as possible.
Yes I do understand the license. A better way to word it would have been "ask for" instead of "require", but I don't see it as a big deal. I simply don't want things claimed by others.
Great stuff! They are very cute indeed!
They're delicious.
Excellent work.
Hah, well, if we're going to be nitpicky, several of these birds are actually dimorphic, and it's also questionable whether or not a blue jay could be called a winter bird -- many live in the same place year-round, and it's only those that live further up north that tend to migrate in the winter.
But personally, I don't really see why any of that matters when it comes to these cute pixels, lol. Unless you're specifically making a game about birds that requires that kind of in-depth detail about bird appearences and migratory patterns. Which... could be interesting, actually? Hmm. Either way, I now feel the need to go bird watching sometime soon, so there's that, haha.
As for, y'know, actual advice about the art, you might want to consider lightening some of the darkest grays/blacks a little bit. Particularly with the stellar jay and the chickadee, they're so dark that they're near or completely indistinguisable from the outline and the eyes. It's also kind of a problem with the cardinal and waxwing, but in those cases the placement means that the location of the eyes is easily infered, so how much of a problem it is, if at all, is debatable.
Optimized for 32x32.
Hey Refuzzle,
I used your asset in my free game (Clunky Souls) and credited you.

Thanks for sharing your great art.
Hi -- wanted to share that we've used some of these assets in a retro-RPG. Just posted the demo link & more info here:

Thx for making great artwork! These birds are amazing.
Love these - thanks!

It more sounds like CC-BY not like CC0
