Pixel Art / Re: Disgruntled Dude (Fighter Sprite?) and an unrelated Friend

Wow, I'd never really noticed that before. Extending her head back a pixel really did make a difference! I went ahead and made that other eye bigger though since she looked a little special after the change, lol. I would attempt to AA these, but I need to totally refresh on that stuff. They'd probably look like crap if I tried it now.

But yeah, thanks a lot for the advice! It's nice to actually get some criticism unlike on DevArt (OH wow a sprite ++FAV)

Pixel Art / Re: POST ANOTHER

Whoa, all these demons are pretty sweet! I'm not too great with big muscle anatomy, so I wouldn't really know any better. However I really like the shading and the definition! Sweet colors too! Although, some of the black lines look a little out of place, like on the side of his chest near the left hand. Is this still a WIP? (I see a few weird gray pixels near the elbow...)

Awesome job

Hello all, I'm still pretty new to the forums, and I haven't really been active in other ones until recently so I'm bit rusty on pixeling (as well as some of the basic forum terminology too, lol)


11 colors + bg

He's actually based on a drawing I did a while back, and I guess the style's pretty weird. I'm fairly satisfied with the colors, though he could probably be punched up a bit more or something. I couldn't get myself to get rid of the black outline either. Ah well.


14 colors + bg

I actually made this a while back, though it's probably one of the better things I've made in a long time. Same with the black outline here too, though I'm pretty happy with it.

Thanks for looking, and any c&c is appreciated.

Pixel Art / Re: sexy lady WIP

Ah, she is much sexier :). The pose is good, and the shading so far is pretty cool (I do like that yellow instead of just a lighter tan color). The thing that sticks out to me though is that her limbs seem a little short. it could be that I've been jaded by anime or something, but I think her outstretched arm and legs could be lengthened some more. Also, maybe her elbow on the bent arm is a bit too thick? I wouldn't mind doing an edit, though I'm not sure how helpful it would be ...

Commercial Critique / Re: Commercial Critique June 06: Cave Story
« on: June 13, 2006, 11:40:20 pm »
Hey guys. I've been lurking around on here for a while, but I couldn't resist when I saw a Cave Story critique.

Putting aside all the great things about Cave Story, I will say that the pixel art in it is sort of a mixed bag. Everything works pretty effectively, although it's pretty evident Pixel just wanted to get the thing done after a while. I think like someone mentioned earlier though, his art did get better as the game goes on. For example, I find this one really awesome...



Even though it is just an edit of the regular core, I really like the mouth and eyes that pop out heh. Also, some of the ending pictures are a little so-so, but I thought these looked pretty cool...

(is that a stray white pixel on the top right? lol)



They definitely could be spruced-up with a little more AA, but at least they're better than some of the others...

(GET 'R DONE)
or
(Good grief edit)

So yeah... the art is mostly good. It'd be nice to post some screenshots too since most of the sprites don't look half as good on a lighter background. Still, It'd defnitely be interesting to some more edits like Ayavaron made.

Critiques aside though, I gotta give the man credit for doing EVERYTHING in the game (although, I think I heard somewhere that he had a little help with the music). The pixel art isn't perfect, but it definitely works and has a cool style of its own. I'm actually glad to see a game with "ungodlike" pixel art as it gives more room for critiques ;)

edit: lol, trolling...
