Cool challenge here. Man, I should really post more often here.
I found imitating this style not that difficult (it`s surprise me,
most of the time I really had a hard time imitating a specific style).

That Basically all Ships and Tanks are mirrored plus
the lighting is always comming from top helps alot when you want create stuff in
a short of time.

On a side note. I always wonder if the Designers had the many details planned
befor they start to draw, or if they simply start to draw.
I mean, all vehicles have so much random stuff smashed on their surfaces.

thanks for comments and critics.

@alex
Yeah I know the background looks a little colorless
I changed the palette a couple of times and stand with this.
Maybe i work here a little more on this.

@faceless
The inconsistancy of AA bothers me myself.
No Idea whats the reason is
but maybe that the first and most parts of
the second level I created on an lcd rather on a normal monitor.

 

Interest theme.

personally I dont think 2d graphics in games will die.
I think that pixelart will be disappear in comercial games sometime in the future
handhelds and cellphones are at moment a last place for pixelart.
But in the future even these things have hi res screens and much more memory.

Pixelart has the abillity to show high amount of information on a few pixels.
when you have hi res screens you can take prerendered graphics rather then pixelart.
You can make prerendered graphics faster then pixelart.

I agree that pixelart is a style but the casual gamer is not interestet in style
If he sees big fat pixels on his psp3 he freaks out and trow in the new gta8.

Its all about economy, companys will make money.
Its pity but that is the reality IMO.

But in the hobby gamedevs is always a place for pixelart.
