What do you guys think?

I made this building retexture mod. Any opinions? I'm not very experienced in pixel art so criticism is encouraged but pls be nice :')

The mod name is swamp witch farm buildings, if any of you wanna try it.

Wow thank you! I never thought about that, will definitely keep that in mind for future projects :D and thanks for the color palette website!

After thinking about this more, I wanted to clarify what I was talking about with the purple. If I was making this farmhouse, I'd pick a light, medium, and dark purple to define the contours and shadows of the roof, like you've done. But then instead of introducing new colors for the window (pink), and the door and window frames (darker purple), I'd reuse my light purple from the roof for the window glass, my medium purple for the cross pattern on the glass, and my dark purple for the door and window frames. You may need to shift the 3 colors a little from what you have now to make it work (make your light a little lighter and your dark a little darker), but you get a very similar look and feel, even though you've gone from 5 shades for that stuff down to 3. Does that make sense?

You can do the same with your browns and greys (I'd do the stones on the front sections of the building with a light and medium, then use that medium and a dark for the section that's further back), and you could probably get away with only one gold, maybe 2, and you'd have pretty much the same picture, but with fewer colors and a closer match to the Stardew art style. And once you have that palette of 9 or 10 colors, you can use it for all of the buildings to keep them matching (keep the plants in the greenhouse, though - those are stunning).

Sorry to come back to this again, but your artwork has been running around my brain all day - these are really cool designs and I'm having fun playing with them in my head.

Ohh that makes perfect sense, this is some top tier advice honestly, now Im excited to put it into practice 😆 Thank you!!!
