Pixel Junk

I like the warning that pops up before posting. You would almost think it would idiot proof this forum.............. :smoke:

Anyways, here's something I'm working on. Arshes aka fighter001, like it hasn't been done to death. All the standard rtp look stupid.
Here's my spin on the stupidity of rtp sprites.

Made using the Half Kaizer child template, but I worked HEAVILY off the grid here.

I love it it looks pretty sweet especially the face/hair and the clothing and i know its not your fault but the arms swing way too much in my opinion havent sprited on half kaizer much but do all the arms swing that much or just the child?

Actually, I deliberately made the arms more animated. It gives the sprite more character when in game. I wouldn't do that with an NPC sprite.

But thanks for the feedback ^_^

Very nice :grin:

That warning? All my idea. :smoke:

Anyway, the armor looks really rubbery, which is a combination of the palette and the way you've shaded it. The palette is pretty ugly (monochromatic and low-contrast; you want bluish shadows and yellowish highlights) but is congruent with the other shades. I like the arm-swinging. Actually not a lot bad to say about this.

But...why Arshes, for the love of god? Aren't people sick of him yet?!

Because I hate him SOOOOO much. I have this weird obsession with trying to make him look better, but it never works. I give up. I was essentially just experimenting with the template, and spriting style to see what people thought. I'm in the process of developing a game, and wanted to use the hk template, but it's too large. So I downgraded to the child sized hk.
With the arm swinging thing, I only use a template for a general reference, I don't diligently sprite on the thing.

And your right about the pallete, it's crap. I just wanted to fire off a sprite against the template to try him out, didn't give it much effort. =/

I'll probably get flamed for this but I kinda liked Ashes RTP sprite.

LOL. It's okay to like Arshes..........really it is.

This looks really promising. Something about the hair is good and yet another bit is bad, but unfortunately I cannot tell what is wrong with it.

As Perihelion said, the arms strike me as rubbery.

Nice pixel art ...

the one I made went horribly wrong xD

ALUXES! That's what he's really called. Arshes is the PKE name...I think.
