Pixel Art WIPs/Small Things Thread

[Eriol Clowphengire]

To admit, I'm using the Half Kaizer palettes and hey, do you have White Ties charsets? [I'm actually looking for ccoa's and someone from RRR's Szalony-WT]

Back to thread, I'm also using RTP as my reference.

 

[mufffin]

A jar

 

[hellhound]

muffin- as much as I'm bad at spriting, I think it needs shading, but I like the shape though, it really gets the jar feel. ^^

greenraven- well, I couldn't say much on a bunch of nude sprites on a checkered island, but I think there's nothing to critique since it's perfectly shaded.

anyway:




they are melty blood styled, well since it's the first sprite I made in this thread. C&C go! ^^

 

[Ynlraey]

I'm tired...
I will C&C yours hell tomorrow I think @_@

Stopped here:

 

[mufffin]

@hellhound: Yeah it definitely needs more shading thanks, cool stuff.
@Ynlraey: Hey that looks cool on DS! cant wait to see more.

 

[Poiizu]

Ahaha Please don't slaughter me, I'm a noob here D:

But my boyfriend just introduced me to RMXP and since I'm an artist (mostly anime. Go figureXD), he wanted me to do some sprites for his game. I've never (sprited?) a base before, but here's my try D:





This is the (RTP?) base?


Supposed to be based of this character here

Spoiler

The dithering on the back probably wasn't a good idea D: And I will probably change it. But whatever, I'm a noob, So C&C away XD

 

[mufffin]

Its pokeslug

 

[silver wind]

Poiizu, The sprite looks great, but please do fix the dithering on the cloak and hair. I think the holes will look bad in game, I suggest you use dark brown/black spots instead. Another thing: the lines on the cloak are too thick, when doing pixel art, lines should be 1 pixel wide (mostly).

muffin you're joking, right? If not, you need serious help. o.o; look here:

Finnally, what I came here for :D :
which is better?
1.

2.

 

[bojjenclon]

For some reason my eyes are telling me that I like the face on 2 and the body on 1. XD

 

[silver wind]

Thanks for the feedback. The body is slightly darker on 2.

Lol finally, thank you so much for the feedback! Ill fix the dithering and the lines. (although i know about keeping it 1 pixel, but i guess i mess up D: )

oh and, I like the second one better :3

 

[bacon]

I like the first one better Silver wind, the second one looks high. Also to me, the pink-red outline on the second one is too dark for my taste.

 

[BwdYeti]

I like the idea of the second one more, regular eyes don't look right on a starfish, but the execution is much better with the first one. The paler colors on the first one are better too.

 

[silver wind]

Thanks guys. Let's see: pale body, eyes from 2 slightly fixed, prespective fix.

 

[hellhound]

Wip:



I'm having trouble making his arms, any words of wisdom at all?

 

[mufffin]

@sliverwind:

I havent been able to make decent sprites these days due to my work and yeah i indeed need some serious help, heres one.

 

[green raven]

heh I didn't notice you fixed the perspective already ^^'
the colors are still pretty pale though and it could use some more contrast. Also, try to avoid pure white or use it for "extreme" highlights.


Hey hellhound, I'm guessing only the head and shoes are done? As for the arms

if you want some more help just ask.

And muffin untill you listen to the advice people give you and practice the basics, your pixelart will keep crappy.

 

[izze]

So, yeah, this'll be my first post in a while.

I've started making a game, and to make a appealing game, you will need good sprites. So I've decided to start learning to sprite. i've been working with game-makeing for about 2 years, but I've never been a good spriter.

So now, I'll need som comments about some sprites I've made.


This is supposed to be a bottle with a red potion in it. Is there any way to make this look better?


I need some serious help with that pine tree, I guess.

 

[green raven]

hey izze,

check this out, I hope it'll help you



the colors in your potion are pretty flat and they don't have enough contrast imho. Furthermore the "bubbles" are some unecessary detail. They only make the image look bad. The lines were good and clean, but you should try and stop the gradient shading.

gradient+gradientshade

Last but not least you should give the tree some valume to start with.

it looks more like a christmass tree air refreshener.

 

[hellhound]

Greenraven: cool! I liked how you edited it! I'm using it now, Thanks!!
