This might be an unpopular view in the "west" but people over here in the "east" copy stuff they like until they get good.

Copying for your own practice can go a long long way, then you can start to riff your own style from that. (just never pass it off as your own on the internet or you will be crucified)

I guess the most acceptable way of doing this is fan-art.

Mix it in with sketching practice, and a good repertoire of poses (comics are good), some colour theory and juxtaposition - you'll be up and running with your own refined style in no time.

This is very cool, but also very strange. What the hell was the endgame for showing Nintendo an NES Splatoon ROM?  ???

Cheers! All your questions and maybe more can be answered in this article

Fantastic work, it looks really good.

Does this mean Nintendo is actively soliciting new NES compatible games?!

Thanks!

Yeah I don't think so, this was a pitch to Nintendo.

Pixel Art / Splatoon NES
« on: November 24, 2017, 03:30:18 am »




Just over a year ago I was contacted to work on a NES game for a pitch to Nintendo, using the Splatoon IP. Sadly this game never made it to the full commision but we did have a working prototype that was demoed to the Splatoon team.

Initially the idea was to layer sprites so we could get more colours per character but the workflow was just too intense, what looks good in theory doesn't always make for the smartest route in a production pipeline. The idea of the game was to shoot ink on all the grey surfaces and colour them.

Finally I can start to talk about this project and show some graphics from it. I took reference from the Splatoon artbook, the game on the WiiU, and some Amiibos we had.

All of the following graphics are formatted to work an actual NES with colour and memory restrictions, animations were done in Aseprite, tile maps in NESscreen Tool.

Inkling:
fall


shoot


idle


jump


run


transform


Squid:

fall


idle


jump


walk



Level:
