Looks nice, but you might want to add some lightspots for reflection. Very good definition of shape, but the metal door needs more work.

And...

Left: Normal seed, mana seed, strong seed, reworked tree sprites (including new mana and strong tree sprites), normal fruit, mana fruit, and strong fruit.
Right: Chaos shards (yellow=swim, green=run, purple=fly, red=power), and the following small animals: penguin, boar, parrot, and gorilla.

Any tips on how to shade the clothes better?

Any tips on how to shade the clothes better?

Can't say I know much about spriting a wide variety of cloth. But here is quick take on it. Mainly I sharpened the specular highlight of the cloth and increased the overall contrast and hue range. ends up feeling more like a silk or satin , so if the goal is a diffuse cloth say burlap or wool completely ignore this. :smile:

 

[Raze]

No offense, onzephyr, but I don't like that very much. However, thank you for trying to help :]

The right version is the new one I just did; is it better?

 

[Jason]

I honestly can't tell the difference except you changed the colours from grey to blue... is that all you did? Also can you use imgzoom tags please so we can get a closer look.

 

[Raze]

Edited previous post; no, it's not all I did. I redid the shading on the clothes as well.

 

[Jason]

Oh yeah I can see now lol, it still looks pillowshaded, actually with the shapes you've chosen it looks MORE pillowshaded, I'd have made the cloth crease or something as if it's actually dangling down, y'know?

 

[Velocir_X]

From what I can see the problem with the clothes is that they're pillow shaded (light coming from between the viewer and the object) and when you redid the shading you only exacerbated the problem.

 

[Raze]

I actually have no idea on how to fix that :x Would I be able to see an example?

 

[Jason]

Well here's a quick example I did, mine is the one on the right ofcourse, it's a little sloppy by my standards but I think it gets my point across:

I've also slightly changed the sleeves and the chest cloth too... only slightly though but I think it makes it look better, atleast in my opinion



(I could have done it SO much better, but /effort, lol)

made by better people than me: (thank you pixel joint)

 

[Jason]

I'd probably change the colours slightly if I were you as well, change the tones and stuff to match more with the style of the skull head (Which is miles ahead of the rest of it in terms of colours and shading by the way), and it DEFINITELY needs more contrast...

 

[Raze]

How's this? Also tried editing the colors; probably didn't succeed :x

 

[Raze]

So I decided to give it another shot today, looking at a contrast tutorial on pixel joint. I think I'm getting better.

Left = Original, Right = Recent

It's nice looking, but you may want to define the edges a little.

Some sprites for a metrovania like pet project. Cave Story sprites used as a base, partially.

@Raze:

They both look great to me, but I can't see a difference in the skulled sprites, maybes it is because of my monitor. :?:

Some pixel work:

 

[Cait]

(o_o) I've been transfering Mack and Blue 2000/2003 graphics to RMVX Ace, when I realized that they didn't have a BBQ kind of graphic that would have made complete sense on a porch! So I kind of frankenspirited one, but I am not sure I did all I could to make it look nice. Any advice would be nice!

 

[LaDestitute]

That looks very good. Simplicitic while retro looking. Could use abit more contrast though. Make the metal shiny?

 

[Byron]

Okay. SO I know I can't make sprites... In fact I can't do anything arty at all.
I do have to say however, I am proud of this:

I know. I shouldn't be proud. But still. I am.
