Pixel Art WIPs/Small Things Thread

[dcbd]

Brainstorming.
Putting it one way: He's talking about making quick draft(s) of your ideas to help you pick a better final product efficiently.
I would argue that making pixel drafts on a smaller canvas can help just as well as photoshop, like i did with my suggestion.

Also, it hardly looks like a crystal, which is what i thought you wanted at first.

I did do a lot of drafts on paper. Does that count? lol

It *is* supposed to be a crystal, but a magical one. I can't seem to achieve that effect. So I started to just do other types of things. I probably need someone to walk me through how to shade this shape to look like a crystal.

Been adding animations for the Intelligence MV: Update.

Here's a video of them in action.

I has having serious computer problems and had to get a new one.
This is the first thing i made on my new pc:

Mock-up made with GB colors on a GBA resolution.

I was super cheeky and quickly made a GBA ROM that displays these images on real hardware:

Hope you don't mind.

Here's the ROM file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/14o0aprh2q85m ... e.gba?dl=0

smooth as butter.

mspaint earth

with terrible cartography but fuk u

 

[coyotecraft]

It's not MSpaint per say. But if you use a real gradient and then set the color mode to Index colors using positioned dithering, You could get a smoother look with limited colors.

Spoiler: idk, just playing around with it

Aww, mediafire resized it.

 

[BizarreMonkey]

Yeah I could just use the hyper-realistic earth planet i have on hand, the reason i did it like this was to keep it consistent with the rest of the game.

Concept NPCs:
-Elite captains of the army of Suyana-

>View on PJ to zoom in.<

Ima (Soldier) - Leader of the group.
Izhi (Assassin) - Hidden member of the group.
Antay (Ranger) - Ace sniper of the group. Very friendly despite his serious expression.
Ussun (Wizard) - A powerful caster. Feared among the people.

...also made a run animation for Ima:

Well it's not really small but it is pixel art I'd guess.

A character set for a big plot object in Fantasia.

Testing out isometric tiles.

I'd be scrubbing up map geometry with this orange/grey place-holder tile-set and then draw over the top to produce hand-painted maps. There's some fooling about required when it comes to tile-priorities, the player will almost certainly be constrained to a single plane - if they can move behind it they cannot stand on top of it. This is a pretty horrible limitation to deal with, but I'm not prepared to create a true isometric tile-map for MV and I'm not going to re-write my movement Plugin for an isometric tile-map.

A positive effect of this limitation is that the player's understanding of the map geometry is greatly simplified.

I'm trying to come up with a character template.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated:

 

[BizarreMonkey]

That's actually really cool, tempted to get my pixel artist xiie to use something similar for Fantasia, the only real gripe i have would be the feet/shoes that look like they were burrowed from mickey mouse's closet.

 

[BizarreMonkey]

And so Xiie's dark work begins.

They's gonna add a hairtie yet, for those curious, we're using the mack-style MV sprites found here for bases.

 

[BizarreMonkey]

Okay huge progress update, the three main Fantasia Protagonists are done.

These are Xiie's first sprites, I don't even joke.
