Pixel Art / Wolfchild sprites...
« on: March 09, 2016, 08:56:59 pm »
So I've been doing pixel dailies for a little over a week - and I really enjoyed trying to do the theme for today: wolfchild

I started with an isometric box to try and ground the figures, and I'm pretty happy with the silhouettes.  First attempt I noticed a mistake (a missing bracer on the wolf) and went to fix it - I also tried to simplify the color for the skin/fur because I thought it was too busy?  I'm barely in the realm of kind of understanding color ramps but I have a lot to learn.

I wanted to see how y'all would address these at your leisure!  Maybe I'll learn something hehe.

General Discussion / Avoiding twitter compression?
« on: March 08, 2016, 11:35:40 pm »
Hi!

Couldn't think of a better place to ask this as a noob...

I've been uploading pixel art to twitter for a little over a week, and compression issues are rather vexing - turning my hard work into blurry messes.  Since I follow pixel dailies in an attempt to exercise my skills I'm around tons of gorgeous pixel art now on a daily basis - and I see lots of it that avoid this problem entirely.

Some of my things look better than others - but it's a general problem with everything I post.  I see people talking about "transparency" and/or "fixed widths" but I'm not quite understanding.

Could anyone please enlighten me to how people are avoiding twitter compression both with static pixel art PNGs and animated GIFs?

Thanks in advance.

Pixel Art / Learning Quest - tilesets, objects, and mock-ups! Help me grow!

Hi!  Trying not to ramble so...

Some 16x16 grass tiles.  I've read "always start small", and somewhere "Start by making a grass tile - a damn good one" - maybe here!  The first two are my first pixel tiles ever - and the second two are an attempt to revise and improve them on my own.  I'm 33 - am I too late to get into this?  Thanks in advance - be gentle please haha!

Hope I'm posting all this correctly - using imgur for now I guess...
