Pixel Art WIPs/Small Things Thread

[BizarreMonkey]

Not incredibly good at pixel art, but I had to do some for the encroaching deadline, so here's a bottle that shines nicely.

And here's a super shitty Hover-Train sprite.

Here's what I made today.

Have I ever told you how much I love your sprites?
A lot is the answer.

Here's what I made today.

I like this. The walls are pretty nice.
You might want to make another few types of floor panels to spruce up your current one a bit. It's nice, but if you look at it a lot, it gets a bit boring.

Maybe add ones with cracks or something. Also, I know this most likely isn't the final map, but you'd (obviously) want a few objects around to help vary up what the player is looking at.

Got bored, sprited this guy, not planning on doing anything with him though. He's some sort of lightly dressed pilot or something, fuck knows what I was going for, lol.

Cat-hat kid Sprite WIP:

What do you guys think?

 

[Xilef]

Looks very Mother/Earthbound like.

I think the cat head needs a pink nose and some shading, at the moment it looks like a flat blob

 

[Byron]

Yeah. I was going for the simple mother looks.

Here's what I did:

Added a nose and shading to the hat, as well as a pinkish hue to the original hat color. What think?

 

[Xilef]

I think it's good at 2x resolution or higher, at 1x it looks like the shading of the hands morphs into the red top.

 

[BizarreMonkey]

Was asked to do a FavIcon for a thing that I'm helping out with locally (because I'm actually attending meetups and stuff now since I don't live in Australia's Detroit-wannabe shithole.)

And a Logo too!

I'm not incredibly happy with it, I'll have to hope they tell me if they aren't fussed. Looks cool with a background.

So, i decided to do a big fighting game-like sprite for the hell of it.

Some influence drawn from the newer kof games.
I stopped with the detail at the pants, and i'm going to finish it later. What do you guys think?

I don't usually do sprites this big. I mostly deal with chibis like this one:

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

The right one is the original. I'm trying to "smooth" it out with shading. I kind of gave up, realizing it's not doing any good.

 

[Xilef]

Oh no I think it is good, it adds a lot of depth to the original and males it pop out more.

But the original is also good so whether changes are even needed is a question itself, what was the problem you faced with the original?

 

[ellenor]

A few days ago I found out that Ghost shards had been put on hold perhaps even cancelled so
I decided to make a small tribute for it by recreate the female cast in one of my templates.

However I still hope it will be completed someday ^^

 

[Jason]

Oh no I think it is good, it adds a lot of depth to the original and males it pop out more.

Well the first thing I can see is that on the original, the hair isn't casting any shadow onto the face whatsoever.

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

Yup, Jay-Jay is right.

The colors in the original is not very contrasted enough, so you can't actually see the shadows on her skin. Not only that, I *attempted* to smooth out the pixel work, but I might have to try another way. I remember in our first demo people mentioned the jaggid outlines, so I might have to worry about that instead. *shrugs*

Wow, these are beautiful!

We are actually "rebranding" Ghost Shards at the moment. We were wondering about the template you used. Is it available? We kind of wanted to use it. We wouldn't copy-paste the sprites you made, though. That'd be mean. :P

 

[BizarreMonkey]

The right one is the original. I'm trying to "smooth" it out with shading. I kind of gave up, realizing it's not doing any good.

The one on the left is a lot smoother, the original has a lot more visible jaggies.

Alright, I did do some pretty cool pixel art recently.

The eyeglow is an effect I added with gimp, see?

And if I turn that layer off...

You have that which was about 40 minutes in MSpaint.

When I have a chance to us it in something I'll actually fix the fire on the thruster.

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

^^^

That is pretty cool!

I was working on this, but got sidetracked. Was in the middle of putting clothes on her...

 

[LaDestitute]

I made a thing. A thing. Yes, a thing.

 

[BizarreMonkey]

Well I changed my mind on this recently and I like Mack more, which previously was the inverse. Why, you ask?

Well i tried to make Esperia with VX style.

Gross!

So I recolored a mack generation and made a few edits...

OH MY GOD THAT IS SO MUCH BETTER!

Some more examples:

Though I'm keeping Pep and Nola their size because they are kids. Also I wouldn't want to have to redo all these awesome edits i made of PJCR's awesome sprite. The original by PJCR is top-left. The rest are edits I made.
