So I was trying to sell my collectable when I realised how cute some collectables are, so I created/ designed some from acnl

Spoiler: how do these look

fossil

leaf

I normally use the common base when creating collectibles, or one similar. Use a good transparent image or a good image you can make transparent that I can also mess with. And try to keep the image big enough but small enough away from the lined edges of the base (normally by 1 or 2 pixels away from the edge).

Here's an example of one I have done.

Spoiler

You're first collectible. The ground isn't very pretty, the fossil isn't fully transparent, and the fossil itself is a little too tiny.

You're second collectible. The background is dull, and the leaf is nice but it needs to stick out more and have more life if that makes sense.

Please don't kill me.

Oh I see you have edited the previous post and the fossil. It looks a lot better but still the fossil does seem too small.

Oh I see but you have roughly erased the cake with a darker shade of gray that doesn't match. Hard to tell sorry to say.

They both look really choppy, misshapen and LQ. How did you make them? It could probably be easily fixed. If you drew them yourself, you should really try a softer brush. That could help a lot.

i did it pixel by pixel

 

[Toot]

Oh pixels... I see. Try using a Gaussian on them.

 

[deerui]

i don't know what that is ;-;

 

[Toot]

You use PS or GIMP right? It's a type of blur.

 

[deerui]

[Toot]

Oh. Well ignore me then. Lol

Yes, but now the fossil is far too fuzzy and the leaf is... smaller?
