Pixel Art WIPs/Small Things Thread

@ Dr. Funk: Defining his nose so much makes his face look pinched. Try only defining the bottom instead of putting dark shading all the way up. Also, de-emphasize the cheek lines. Your palette is also a little weird; as a tip, skin palettes should be saturated in the middle hues and then more desaturated towards the high and low hues. Try making the shadows a bit purple, too.

@ Holder: Looks nice, but try to unify your palettes more. If you have all of your shadow colors tend towards the same hue--say, a nice purple--it'll look much more unified. You also have some contrast issues. The skirt is very high-contrast, but then the hat has a lot of similar, low-contrast shades.

hey, thanks y'all! i've worked on it a 'lil more



ignore the amputees, that's where i was starting the walking anim on another layer

I like this :3,the style is awesome

 

[CircleDrain]

Made a new graphics

An old tree:

 

[action]

The trunk should be more straight, less mutated, and try to use less spraycan effect for the wood. Tapering lines upwards will do the trick

Trying to figure out how to get this to look better at the head

 

[Dr. Funk]

@circle: you should add more roots, as well as more small offshoots from the larger roots. And work on the texturing, it looks more like stone than wood right now.

@action: good start, but it needs more contrast. the knees (they are knees, right?) look really weird too, for such a small sprite I wouldn't even bother popping them out like that.

also, I've changed my face a little bit.

This is taking FOREVERRRRRRRR

 

[Anski]

Also why does it seem blurry when I post it here but the URL base is fine?

 

[moxie]

That's strange, a few people have been saying that lately! I haven't noticed anything. In fact firefox used to blur pixel art like crazy, especially in the zoom-ins, and I haven't been seeing that at all.

I would maybe start a thread in feedback, and if anyone else here is having a problem like that definitely post in there too.

 

[Anski]

Well, getting really close physically, it's blurred. Try hitting the x8 zoom, it's not clear. ;<

 

[action]

Yeah I know.. it used to work a while ago, but not anymore.
also fixed a little..?

 

[bacon]

I tried doing an egg badge but oh dear


the background is way too busy and the colors are somewhat dull but :c
i think i need more contrast ~

too many colors

 

[Jason]

The general idea is nice bacon, but you definitely need a little more contrast, and I'd change the colours, make 'em a little brigher, looking good though.

Incredibly neat, Prexus, the door seems to stand out a little because there's no shading/gradient on it.

 

[Prexus]

I've gone over the door like a dozen times, and can't seem to get it to look good. I am restricting myself to the NES Palette.

 

[Perihelion]

Looks good, Prexus, except that the teal is very garish and the door is undetailed. Can you post the palette?

Anski, cool so far, but more yellow in the highlights and/or blue in the shadows and less dithering.

 

[Mirku]

this is a WIP of a battle sprite, I'm probably going to change the arms and fix the body so it transitions a bit better into his fixed legs or the other way around. trying to learn sprites again after a year of doing diddly squat :W

edit:
updated it


think I'm going to blow them up to 200% in game

Which style do you like better?

Spoiler: Small Brick

Spoiler: Large Brick

(I also have them in grey: http://i.imgur.com/F6WUB.png http://i.imgur.com/82RRr.png

I think the large brick would work better with the door, but only if you did the same thing to the top. However, I like the small brick best. You just have to make the door look better.
