Thanks guys.  This is what I have after attempting to remove the outlines.



Please let me know what you think.  :)

General Discussion / Does anyone know where Graphics Gale saves its settings to?
« on: July 30, 2010, 07:10:12 pm »
I'm using my registered copy of Graphics Gale on more than one computer and I would like to know how I can import/export settings.  Is there a file where the settings are stored, and where might it be located?

Or is it all stored in the registry?

Thanks guys.

Having scoured through a collecition of NES Mega Man sprites I can see that there are black outlines on all the characters despite their size.



I'm not doubting the talents of anyone here but I have already stated that my pixel art attempts without the black borders really do look terrible.  It is also not the type of style I am after.

Apologies for having a difference of opinion but I am taking on board the criticisms and wondering why you would harbour such hostility?

I'm now getting him to point down and would like some opinions.  I've had to get rid of all the red pixels on his arms (in each frame) but this makes it look better IMO.

I see.  Trouble is what colours to fill the space with.  I'll have a go and post back.

EDIT: Any filling in of colour, other than black just looks awful when I do it.

If I resize my sprite to 32x32 can I then keep the black outline?

Thank you.  I will try and incorporate the visor in my sprite somehow. 

I'm most likely working at such small scales because it feels safe to do so.  I'm only using the colours found in the NES palette and not adhering to the restrictions of the NES hardware.

Does looking left/right look good to you?

Here's a 400% version with the frames for looking left and right.



Any comments, criticisms, advice accepted.  This is my first attempt at pixel art, so I've got to start somewhere.

I've been working on my 16x16 main robot character sprite and would like some input.  I'm only using colours from the NES palette found on this site.



I'm not sure how I would draw him facing left/right yet.  Hints/tips would be most welcome  :)

Thank you.

General Discussion / Looking for ideas to start my first pixel art.

Hi folks,

I would like to create a small (32x32 max) robot type character for my first attempt at pixel art. 

Does anyone have a points of reference on small robot type characters?  Not including MegaMan  ;D
