Pixel Art / [WIP] Crawly Wheely Claw Tank
« on: August 19, 2007, 09:24:12 pm »


I'm posting it as a WIP because I'm getting tired and I'd like to see some comments on it before I again in the morning, and I want to see if the whole thing works for other people, I've been looking at it for quite a while... I think it's a pretty big jump from the little guys i did before.

I used metal slug as a reference - specifically this van (i pretty much stole the colours) to try and copy the style, i suppose. is that alright?


I'm pretty scared of doing the tyres, i'll give em a go tomorrow. and i'm unhappy with the legs but i can't seem to get em to look decent.. and the claw was an afterthought, i just didn't want to have a gun ^^

thanks

it's just i don't see that sort of plant all over the floor in that sort of scene. i'm just doing it because you asked, i don't mean to nitpick on a point that's not really that important

it looks amazing to me, but (and i feel kinda bad giving criticism on someone much better than me) i thought that the grass that everyone else is takling about was gravel with weeds growing out of it, from it's difference in colour to the other plants and it being near the long grass, that tile doesn't seem realistic as grass as the rest of the tiles... I mean, it looks good, but i don't think i've encountered anything like that in that sorta place

well, i've been away for a week and stuck on a boat, so that's why i haven't replied, don't think all your coments have been for nothing hehehe

stefano - thanks for the amazing edit! it's much appreciated, and i do see what you mean about the skull, it's just that i find it difficult to add so much detail in a subtle way like that, but i suppose that'll come with time and practice eh

zeid - thanks alot for the edit, i can see from that that your lighting makes more sense. what you did to make the outline seem thinner seems strange, broken up but i like how it looks.. is it just doing it and seeing what looks decent or some kinda pattern to breaking it up?

adam atomic - that seems like a good idea, so i did it ^^


it might have been cheating doin a bird that was also a cuboid but oh well. i don't think i even did it very well..

the lighting confuses me with some parts when it seems  they wouldn't have been lit from that angle, how am i meant to shade that with the 3 colours?

i was just doodling while browsing the net, but i'm gonna do something less half arsed that i've actually drawn first nextmaybe

He might have a crap monitor like mine, in the sense that no matter how you adjust it, it's still a crap image. (Syncmaster 932B  :'( )

I think I agree with the one relevant comment on this thread, however. But here is my edit, which uses minor adjustments such as Highlights, shadows, minor dithering and better line-art. From

hmmm, well I don't think i like the edit that much either, sorry... It just seems like alot of unneeded colours and the shading under the head seems blurry... I appreciate you doing it though. (sorry if that's stupid commenting on an edit of my own work ^^)

Pixel Art / updated thread, shading excercise with cube bird
« on: August 11, 2007, 07:49:51 pm »
well, I decided that I'd like to do pixel art, so I just dl'd the free version of graphics gale and doodled these two little guys:


little pink bird guy, i really like him, and this is the first thing i've done, but i know he probably could be done alot better


this guy i like alot less, and i spent alot longer trying to make him right..

I know I can improve alot of course, so any criticisms and suggestions would be great! also, i'm not entirely sure how the rules of the forum go so I hope I haven't done anythin wrong eh

thanks  :)
