Pixel Art / Re: [CC] First Pixel Art Animation
« on: July 06, 2017, 10:17:29 am »
Hi! So Ill preface this by saying I myself am no means an expert either but I do have some advice I'd give

first, unless it's a purposeful stylistic choice youre making, the stomach animation is exaggerated to the extent it becomes distracting/the focal point of the animation.

second, I'd recommend animating the whole body consistently, specifically the legs, even subtly so the character looks more cohesive and less like a set of independent parts. the shoulder is animated in a way that the arm isnt, which could be improved

hopefully that helps some

changed up the hair, which is still wip, but also the neck/shirt which I think look at little better now!

also managed to get better gif quality

thanks again for the input!

thanks for the feedback! after taking a step back and looking with fresh eyes, I definitely see what you were pointing out

I made the neck a little thicker and lowered the shirt profile (which flowed fine before adding the braids but looked very weird after) and then messed with the eyes a little

I made two versions, which do you think looks better?



Edit: sorry for gif quality, tried to pop them off quick and havent figured out how to do it better. also realized the animation might benefit from changing either the eyebrows, mouth shape or head position a little if I wanted to go more for shame/shyness than boredom which might be worth trying out. Wasn't going for anything specific and was just messing around, but it's interesting to see how little changes can affect an expression so much (especially in pixel art)!

I've been referencing 'making comics' by scott mccloud which has a great section on expressions and am excited to apply it to this project

Pixel Art / WIP/C+C for talking sprite
« on: June 27, 2017, 02:48:34 am »
Im messing around with portraits to practice for an adventure game and am looking for feedback!

for some reason, saving my work in .gif form keeps changing to colors, so I've also included a still shot with the colors I'm using. (the layout is a stand-in/WIP)




looking for any comments or criticisms on what I've got here! very new to this so p much any feedback you have will be appreciated

I'm working to improve the animations, but I think, stylistically, I'm interested in keeping things pretty simple in that department. On the fence about anti-aliasing, but leaning toward no for the same reasons!

Edit: most recent version

changed hair, eyelid placement, shirt-neck allignment issues

Pixel Art / [WIP] overworld sprite
« on: June 21, 2017, 03:08:47 am »
I've been making a story game and am giving a go at designing the real (non-filler) sprites and tiles for it. Brand new to pixel art so am kinda out of my depth.

most of the game takes place at night or in caves so the colors will be pretty dark (I've maybe gone too far with that)



these are a couple concept sprites for the main character. I'm looking for help with 3/4 perspective, color choice and general advice.

thanks!
