Pixel Art / Character walking animation C&C
« on: February 02, 2008, 03:31:37 pm »
I posted up an article long ago last year regarding my sprites I made and wanting C&C.  A lot of people said my animation was poor and sloppy with only 4 frames (2 frames being the same image).  So yesterday I spent most of the day putting together a better walking character.

This is what I was using before:

I thought it would be easier to make an animation if my character was in vectors and I just resized the image down but it didn't work.  Turned out to look more like cell-shading than pixel art:

So, I redid my original using the famous walking animation image that's passed around so much to do my 8 frame animation:

I noticed the dark grey is too dark so I changed that also to a lighter shade to make my final revision:

Took me a long time but I like it so far.  Any C&C welcome, I won't get discouraged.  Thanks.

Pixel Art / Suggestions please
« on: August 11, 2007, 04:00:36 am »
I'm new at pixel art and have only briefly gotten into drawing pixels rather than turning vectors and layers into smaller sprite bitmaps and letting the computer do things for me.  Pixel art is tedious I must say and my hat goes off to everyone who does this.  Anyway, I made a blob-like creature and didn't have a clue how to shade it or how to improve on what I have so far.  Previously, I took off the black border around the blob creature but I think it looks better with it.  However, my backgrounds for it to be placed on make it look like clip-art.  Any ideas or suggestions I could do to make this creature more realistic with the background and have more depth?  Thanks.  ;D  I've blown up the picture 2x for visibility.

Hi, I'm Jim.  I'm new and loving this website.

I have some sprite pictures for a console-style RPG I'm developing and would like some input from you art gurus out there.  Here's a couple pix to look at.
