I've been working on my Pixel Art skills recently, and here's some of the stuff I've made.

Please criticize and give advice so I can do a better job next time.

Wooo 8-bit! They're good. You've done great on shape, except maybe the shovel (looks more like a giant arrowhead).

Your palette is a little blah, because your only colour is brown. I'm not a fan of the pure grey, because metals aren't usually pure grey scale and neither is the light they reflect. For the subdued metal look you may want to experiment with some ever-so-slight hues (steel, only barely blue; iron, a tiny bit of red or yellow, depending on the strain; bronze, a fair bit of yellow; copper, a fair bit of red; silver, almost white with barely blue shadows).

The shading's not bad. It works great for your axe and shields. I think the sword is done a little oddly, and the light should continue down the blade without so much brightness lost. With the shovel, there must be a way to use the shading to explain the shape better. It looks domed outward. If that's meant to be the backside of the shovel, near the hilt should have a dark dimple.

You've done an excellent job. Definitely keep it up.

I think you should also edit the axe and make the bottom of the shovel more like a line, not round.

Anyway, awesome work

I agree over the shovel but the hammer is annoying me, I think the head is too long for my liking, idk xD

the black edges o-o… try picking colors that shift better so its not so blocky, kinda hard to explain just trying to amend colors dont change size but the color hueing like they said above.
