Pixel Art WIPs/Small Things Thread

[Energy]

Okay, I changed the contrast, and shaded the last half. How does it look now?

EDIT: I also dithered like crazy to give it a scaly look. The cloak is supposed to be made of dragon scales. Does it look right? I also recolored the eyes.

Attempting to use 3-color palette, and struggling to discover contrasting on med-small sprites like these!


NOTES:
Costume 1:
She's trying to cosplay the Xenepic/Secret of the Solstice beginner character, similar to this, sans belt and gloves, and wearing pink-streaked sneakers.

Costume 2:
Pink long-sleeved wool shirt & black cycling shorts with white streaks on sides.

Costume 3:
Dark blue cotton sleeveless shirt over pink short-sleeved shirt & baggy pants (as if she's imitatin' fashion from S4 League MMO-TPS)

Spoiler

Some of my pixel scraps... They aren't that good. The login screen was done with pixels as well.

Attempting to smoothen the animation of the RTP, hated how choppy the original was. Still needs a bit of tweaking.

im making a few boxes for my tileset but im not sure how to add a metalic shine to it :huh: , but this is what ive got so far:

any comments would be appreciated

@rozzman:

Shading won't look better by adding a checkerboard pattern, pillow shading is a bad habit and your colors look too much alike.



I suggest you add some highlights and get rid of that horrible dither pattern.

 

[rozzman]

oh ok thanks im kind off new to the dithring idea so yea, ill fix them thanks

 

[rozzman]

ok here is attempt number 2 (the 1st box is still wip, not sure whether or not to add folds or how :huh: ):

 

[Dr. Funk]

You should add some more details to the green cover, like some folds and more shading.

 

[rozzman]

ok, i will try to do that later but is the 2nd box ok?

 

[Jikipoiopo]

Rozzman, those boxes are okay, but the green one doesn't really look like a box. It just looks like the cover, really. You should probably add more detail, like CanadaATW stated. For the blue box, you should try to make it more of an RMXP-ish design. That box just seems to cartoon-y.

 

[rozzman]

yea but the rest of the tileset has the same sort of non-rmxp ish design because really, i am quite new to tilesets, and i explained in the post that the green one isnt finished, and i dont know how to make it look rmxp-ish :huh:

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

A sample character for the Koemushi EVOLVE! template. Apparently, she's gonna appear in one of my games, and hey... I didn't include the leather gloves and boots on the sprite for the character here only liked wearing her cosplay character's shirt, vest and shorts.

NOTE: The character & costume was based on the "Beginner class character" from an MMORPG entitled Xen Online / Xenepic [in Japan] / Secret of the Solstice [in Outspark US]

the spriting on the hair is pretty messy, and your shading uses such dull colours that it's practically invisible. it's good at a first glance, but definitely needs some polish.

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

@Mawk: How can you tell? And oh, it may have looked messy 'cause I'm trying to *almost perfectly* imitate the character's hair, and I'm a first-timer to sprite such characters with crazy hairstyles like her or even like Alex of RM2K3.

Indeed, the character definitely needs polish. Sometimes it's better to hint at a line then actually draw it, if that makes sense to you at all.

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

It doesn't make it much. I have never sprited this far.
