Pixel Art WIPs/Small Things Thread

[Twirly]

Okay, thanks for the input guys
Gonna work on a mockup soon ;o

 

[Perihelion]

I'm making a HUD for my game. Pipes are still rough, but I am going to bed, so this is it for now.


Someone pointed out that the face is similar to System Shock (which I haven't played), but idk, it's neat and I don't wanna change it. Game is an action/puzzle thing in which you use two characters together.

 

[Twirly]

o:
that's pretty cool peri!

 

[Perihelion]

And an update!

 

[moxie]

holy shit that looks awesome i can't even say anything constructive

 

[danyo34]

I decided to try making a template, and wanted some feedback. It's mostly unshaded, and the legs are starting to look squiggly to me.

Spoiler: Me being indecisive

The one on the very right has a width of 16 pixels and the other ones have widths of 15, leaving an odd, empty pixel when put upon a 16x16 tile, but I think the one on the right looks too fat. The head looks a bit big, too, but it's not an issue with the way I did hair on the example sprite. I'm also unsure if I want to put an extra pixel at the corners of the feet like I did in the example.

 

[Perihelion]

Thanks for the comments, guys!

Okay, here we go. EDIT: Fixed it up some.

 

[Twirly]

o:
lookin nice, peri
idk but I think the metal should be a bit more shiny
also that thing in your hud reminds me a lot of chrono trigger :D
I got something new too
Just started doing an rpg mockup with the famous C64 palette and damn it's hard, especially the tilesets :x (and I suck at tilesets even without having restrictions! :P)

imo the characters are cute :3
(help, idk what to do ;-

I tried a little edit on your template. I'm terrible at explaining things so just see by yourself, I guess. :p

Yours - My edit - An example
Even though it is bigger than 15 pixels width, imo it can look cool.
You can also use 14 pixels instead of 16 to make it thinner:


Twirly : go make a tree! :D

 

[Twirly]

Since the C64 limits me too much for an rpg I choose to make my own 16 colour palette.
I got 6 colours so far, check it ;o

Sprited on a the atramentum template, and it's not perfect, or somewhat near perfect... Okay, it's never going to get that good but I want to be satisfied with it. Any Comments?

Adding this picture shall make the image above look a lot better:

Spoiler

Made this, earlier and it was a major fail, seriously, what was I thinking! :crazy:

Thank you and have a nice day!

Contrast please,

You've got 4 shades of brown for the cape, yet they're really hard to distinguish. You could use 3 shades and add more contrast, and you'd have a better effect.

 

[zchin]

Okay, so the brown needs more contrast. Now you point it out, I agree. Is there anything else, like colour scheme, or anything else?

Thank you and have a nice day!

Her breasts are too far to the right, and are too small as well. Also, I don't know much about the character art, but those legs things don't look good.

Just a (mainly) colour edit. I also tried to change the shading and add some AA.
So yeah, as Jbrist said, you NEED more contrast. You also need more interesting colors ; your sprite looks really too greyish right now.
'Hope this helps. :O

 

[zchin]

I'm trying to go for a more soldier type of thing, I'm not sure if a soldiers armour is supposed to be flashy or not... hmmm.

I'll see what I can do about the coloures and stuff...

Thank you and have a nice day!

Something I started working on about 2 years ago (was a single idle sprite).

Spruced it up and added a few things.

 

[Jason]

What do you think, could it work somehow?

 

[action]

Sure it could. Reminds me of LoZ: Minish Cap somewhat. I loved that game.

 

[Jason]

Actually that's where I got the idea for the trees, haha.
