Pixel Art / Re: Metools!

Yeah, I was thinking about giving the dark metool a little more saturation to give it a less 'greyscale' feel.  I made three more edits, the first one I just added a pale purple color scheme to the greyscale metool, the second one I just darkened up the first, and the third I removed the highlights, which imo makes it less reflective and a more shadowy type feel (it never ceases to amaze me how doing something as subtle as removing a couple highlights can affect the entire picture).



Tomorrow I'll experiment a little more with this, possibly changing the eyes a bit (they look to big and not 'dark metool' enough, even though they're red, though it might just be me).

Thanks!  I tried to clean up the lines a bit, I'm having some trouble.  I think this is the best I'll get for right now, perhaps I'll do better after I get some sleep ^^.  I also updated the dark metool image, though I'm not entirely sure how to make it look more like a dark metool and less like a greyscale version of the original...

I added some extra levels of shading and backlighting per adcrusher's edit, and also did a first attempt at dithering.  The cross on his helmet seems a little off, possibly because it's one of the only areas without shading, but I'm at a loss as to how to fix it.  (Every time I try to shade it, it just seems to conflict with the lighting on the rest of the body).

I made a couple new edits:


For this one I just added some more AA, plus an edit of the outline, which feels too jagged in my previous one.


In this I was just trying out a glowish outline.


And  in this I was experimenting with a dark metool thing.

Tried to take into account your edit, especially regarding palette choices (something I have a lot of trouble with).  I also got rid of the shadows' outlines, and thickened the outer one.

I played desaturated the shadows a little, when I get a bit more free time I'll try adding AA and possibly making it a more sensible size like 64 by 64.



Also, could clarify on what you mean by making the shadows smoother?

So I decided to try and do a couple variations of a metool, using this as a reference:



I made three "concept art" style pics at the same size as the reference:



The first one was just a cleaner version of the reference, the second is the same as the first except with colored outlines, and the third was me experimenting with black shadows.

and one sixteen by sixteen pic:



C&C is welcome for all of the pixel art.

Most Current Metool:



EDIT:  Desaturated the shadows a bit more, did an attempt at AA, and shrunk the image down to 64 by 64.

So this is my first attempt at pixel art, (and after trying it, I have so much more respect for pixel artists ^^).  But anyways, C&C is always welcome.



EDIT:  I edited the hair to have a highlight and look a little more realistic, and extended the shadow on the face, as well as playing around with the shadows under the hair and the highlight on the left side of her face.  (Or rather - her right side, my left).



EDIT:  Made a few more modifications to the hair, trying to make it a little more 3D without making it pop out too much.\



EDIT:  Added a bit of hair in front of her face.

Hey everyone, I decided to try my hand a pixel art, so that's why I'm here, obviously ^^.  Hopefully I'll be able to make something decent soon.  (Maybe not too soon though, considering I'm very new at this..)
