Maybe it's because they're made of clay?

Ho HO, you got served.

I can see why each of them didn't get accepted, minus the one I can't even see because you won't take the trouble to fix the size issue. (Why did you even post that one for critique if it isn't properly visible?)


First one:

Those are pretty much useless. Why would someone want to use Game & Watch system sprites within a M&L-styled game? It's technically possible for them to be usable, but the chance of someone making a M&L-styled game wanting to use those is probably a good deal less than 1%, and for this reason there's not really a point in having them take up site bandwidth.

Besides, the shading is done wrong on them, since the light source is coming from opposite directions on some animations.


Third one:

The pipes are barely even shaded, and what shading there is is either wrong or very badly done for something shaped like a pipe.

It's hard to even see the ?'s on the ? blocks, and their outline is too light anyhow.

The solid blocks on the upper right are too simple (like most other things on the sheet), and the white one is almost translucent-looking because of bad color choice.

In general, most of the things on the sheet are overly simple-looking.


Fourth one:

Again, very simple-looking overall. The tall green things, as well as the trees and the flagpole, are either barely shaded or not shaded, the clouds are very obviously pillowed and aren't even shaped like clouds, and the "rain" tiles don't even look like they're "rained on" - they look more like they have blue icing slopped onto them.

Another reason it probably didn't get accepted is because there's too much wasted space making the images unnecessarily large. Try organizing things closer together and decreasing the image size.
