32x32 8 colors (took about 8 miniutes)

here

this is for the first round... the second round is a boss; and that decides it

A quick spruce up, could have you adding some detail/texture to the creature, tattoos or scars or something. Since at the moment it's good for the size and idea but just lacking a little.

Best of luck for the battle.

tomster 785 · **Reply #2 on:** September 15, 2006, 07:07:26 pm

I'm only allowed 8 colours... I was really restrcting myself with this peice I'll add that scar thing and I'll try for a skull tattoo type thing (because the claws are white)

EDIT: well here is the new version this is like two seconds of extra work

Gil · **Reply #3 on:** September 15, 2006, 07:33:29 pm

You're using too much colours for what you're getting. You can easily make this with 4 or 5 colours and it would look the same. Drop the saturation, remove the background, don't use coloured outlines, give it some texture, shapes, anatomy and add some hue shifts perhaps?

Oh, btw, stop running away from your previous topics and fix those pieces first.

I know but I want to win this battle

Alex · **Reply #5 on:** September 15, 2006, 07:40:25 pm

For 482 seconds of work, i dont know what to say. Quite frankly, im dumbfounded.

Much improvement needs to be done here. 8 colours is quite alot for a piece of that size. Use more variation. Don't try and shade everything. Just practice different techniques. Don't be afraid to screw anything up either because if you cooperate with us, we will help you fix them.

tomster 785 · **Reply #6 on:** September 15, 2006, 07:47:27 pm

I'm sorry to seem if I'm arguing with you with this but I cant take away the outline without taking away the scar and then I wouldnt of taken away any colors at all, and
@Gil: I wasnt running away from those peices I had to make this for a battle (read first post)

ptoing · **Reply #7 on:** September 15, 2006, 08:34:10 pm

I wanted to make a little edit of your devil but I went a bit overboard I think.

Hope it helps a bit to show you what can be donw with 8 colours in that size. Problem is that your colours are too close to be told apart so you basically waste some of them, And in small sprites it's not a good idea to have a solid outline like that, unless they only have 4 colours or less.

Hot-ass demons boys.
Tomster, is your demon jumping? he doesn't look like he's standing.

p.s. If you were me, You'd at least spend a good 20 minutes on it.

Xion · **Reply #15 on:** September 16, 2006, 02:51:19 am

Note, man: Things look much different zoomed in than at 1x or even 2x. What may look like an outline or dark red close up may probably be identical to another color zoomed out. Make sure the colors are nice and seperate. This is called contrast. The higher the contrast, the more different the colors. This is especially important in smaller images where you don't have enough room to have lots of subtle color changes.

Meta|Fox · **Reply #16 on:** September 16, 2006, 05:08:17 am

just wondering, whats the link to the PIXEL forum your doing this battle at?

tomster 785 · **Reply #17 on:** September 16, 2006, 08:42:41 am

link

@Frychiko: nah he's standing
@Xion Night: what do you mean? every color that looks the same is the same
@Gil: I've already entered mine... and I wouldnt use one of those even if I was payed a million pounds, I dont rip, it's against everything I go by

Joseph · **Reply #24 on:** September 19, 2006, 11:36:23 pm

I thought you were 13? or...wait. are you 14? maybe you should get a myspace or something and in large bold letters, PUT YOUR REAL AGE. anyway, ptoing...I seriously thought you grabbed that from a sprite sheet of a 2D platform game using 3D sprites...lol great work on making it 3Dish.

tomster 785 · **Reply #25 on:** September 20, 2006, 04:55:27 pm

which one do you mean? the Imp and Baron of Hell are from Doom, which was done by id soft in 95(?)

tomster 785 · **Reply #27 on:** September 20, 2006, 05:15:31 pm

you didnt make them did you? if so awesome work on it the likeness is uncanny

ID SOFT (also this is not really pixelart)

Imp

Baron of Hell

And I thought Doom was general knowledge, I could recognise each enemy from the original doom games by it's sounds. Doom 3 is poop in comparison!

Joo · **Reply #29 on:** October 04, 2006, 09:28:24 pm

Pretty hard to distinguish what it is... And why are the legs a totally different colour to the red blob thing?
Btw, finding it hilarious how all your topics are getting locked.

ptoing · **Reply #30 on:** October 04, 2006, 09:37:51 pm
