Pixel Art WIPs/Small Things Thread

[LaDestitute]

Whipped up some test/mockup assets for the inventory overhaul in my gamekit/SDK:

Item 1 is a glove, 2/3 are weapons, 4/5 are armor, 6/7 are shields and 8 is just some misc test item

 

[BizarreMonkey]

So I began making some simple sprites for map events / guides.

Smaller versions, too.

 

[LaDestitute]

More tileset work. Needing opinions.

 

[coyotecraft]

My instincts tells me you should keep outlines dark on top and on the sides. But keep the bottom light. So that it's grounded but contrast with the rest of the edges creates separation.
The exception being that stump. Since from a distance the outline on the bottom looks more like a side in shadow.

 

[Xilef]

Lighting isn't 100% correct at all, but not sure I will change that as it looks visually a bit more pleasing having the right side slightly illuminated.
The screen perspective is incorrect too on the right hand side, however I needed this to fix within 50px, fixing that error will break past that.

EDIT: Made some small changes. Improvement?

 

[LaDestitute]

A friend made a mockup map with the tileset I made, actually looks pretty nice. More than a few of the tiles are still WIPs, but still.

Wasn't originally going to do this but I decided to try making a classic GBA in the same pixel art style:

This is a first-pass of detail and softening after a simple colour block-out. Lots of stuff to improve here still.

EDIT: Further tweaks

Can't seem to quite get the battery pack alignment right. Everything feels slightly off.

EDIT2: Happier with the battery cover on this one and the shape feels better.

Hello again.

Made this recently so thought i'd post it here. >Original Link<

 

[BizarreMonkey]

Very nice, I adore how absolutely fluid she is.

Welp, just some neato closeup looks at some of the environment detail on some of the maps I've been enhancing.

Needed to make a GBA image for a test ROM - ended up animating it in Aseprite.

 

[Jason]

Never actually used Aseprite before, decided to give it a try today with the trial on their site, and within ten minutes bought it from Steam, it's only like £8 or something anyway lol. Been using it for about an hour now, it's quite a nice little tool for pixel art, and especially animating pixel art.

Drew two frames of this guy. Many frames to go.

 

[BizarreMonkey]

Been a while since i made a sprite-- but I had to make a summoned weapon for M.F. Lazarus.

They shoot BEAMS and might be heavily based off of GASTERBLASTERS.

 

[Jason]

Opened Aseprite for the first time in about six months, had a look at the various colour palettes to pick from, and decided to try using the Game Boy palette... not gonna' lie, it's tricky when you've only got four colours and two of them are almost identical shades... but I'm quite happy with the outcome. EDIT; Coloured in versions added, also some slight changes to shading (Used the same colours for both because /effort with different colour schemes).

 

[Jason]

Decided to revisit Aseprite and pixels in general for the first time since, well, I made those sprites in the previous post, lol... I see pixel art hasn't died here yet :wink:

Basically just recreated my Twitch avatar using my new template, mostly out of curiosity, but I really liked the outcome, so I decided to add my cat Milo into it too... yeah, my original one looks like arse but to be fair it's also two different styles, and it was made using some pixel art app on my phone a looooong time ago, so it was way overdue;

 

[Xhukari]

Oh hey, that looks pretty damn cool! I like it!
Might be 2 different styles, but much prefer the new one!

 

[Jason]

Yeah me too actually, I do enjoy low res styles too, but with this new one I'm able to add so much more detail, although I'd be lying if I said I didn't struggle trying to fit my cat into there lol, without his tail he's like 9x17 pixels or something, took me a few tries to get him looking just right but think I nailed it. Might post the male and female templates at some point for anyone that's interested, although I want to make a few more variations of each beforehand. They're not animated in any sort of way, basically just for posing and such, which is still fun... although I'm considering trying to make something animated at some point too.

Lately I've been working overtime on a game project togheter with my team but during the breaks I relax by doing even more pixelart...
Enjoy some fanart pixelart from breath of fire.

P.s I relized too late that the first 2 were enlarged 300% while the other were only 200%
Oh well!
