Pixel Art / Re: adventure/puzzle game mock-up, character jumping, portrait and inventory
« on: December 05, 2010, 03:15:07 am »
Thanks guys for the help, especially Tourist! I completely removed her hair and used your third edit to restructure her face:

I'm not quite happy with the highlight color, any thoughts? I checked out some portait art from Tactics Ogre and Breath of Fire for the light and shadow. Tourist, your edits actually reminded me of Tactics Ogre, there's one portrait I really like in there, this girl: http://www.romulation.net/files/screenshots/roms/PSX/24201/s_0.jpg

It's late so am heading home but thanks for the c&c, keep them coming and in the mean time I will continue to post updates  :crazy:

The character is supposed to be a girl... I'm so embarrassed! Na, I have difficulty drawing girls, but I decided to just go ahead and do it anyway :p I guess her face isn't particularly feminine, any ideas on how to achieve that? I want to stay away from stereotypical depictions of women though.  Suggestions, and as always c&c are super welcome!


I changed her nose and mouth and eyes. Also used your changes to the boots, thanks WizKid!

Thanks for the responses!


I changed some stuff around from the version I put up before: changed the legs a bit, made the coat billow out a bit (or tried rather), fixed the left coat arm. The left version is with the colors I originally had, and the right one has colors that move towards purple and yellow, as StarRaven suggested. I like the left one because the colors are more subdued, maybe a bit more like pastels. Thoughts?


I've only worked on the portrait so far, will keep working on it in the mean time.

Thanks again for the c&c, looking forward to more :)

Pixel Art / adventure/puzzle game mock-up, character jumping, portrait and inventory

Hi! So I'm making a mock-up of an adventure/puzzle game, and I'm trying my hand at making artwork for it. I like pixel art so I'm trying that, and so far have been following Derek Yu's tutorial for making pixel art. Outline by hand, then scanned, reduced, and gone over with pencil in Photoshop, colored, shaded, etc. Here are the two things I've done so far:


Here Ophelia is supposed to be jumping horizontally towards a wall with vines on it.


The portrait and inventory are part of the HUD. So far, I've only done volume blocking behind the lines on this one.

I welcome comments and criticism on them, thanks! :)
