Would you like to receive constructive criticism/advice in the comments?

Yes

How does your art incorporate the theme?
My interpretation was that of a person standing in front of a grave with a heavy guilt. The dead person is in the "underworld", both literally and figuratively, and the guilt represented by the hands is pulling him in to "atone". "underworld" could also refer to the psychological state burdened by that guilt.

Which of these best describes your art?

Crazy animation, so smooth... Great work! I hope it still classifies as pixel art but in any case, it is cool stuff!

thank you so much! I consider it a compliment to doubt whether it's pixel art xD it's only 256x256 so nothing crazy

The smoothest animation, the incredible use of a limited colour palette and the dynamic perspective are all so good. You're technique alone is stunning but you're an amazing storyteller to boot! Congrats on another great piece.

Palace of Hades

thank you! all you gotta do is make an initial skeleton version with thin lines, and once you get those to look smooth you just draw on top of them, pretty simple!
