Pixel Art / Re: [WIP] RTS Medieval Sprites?

« on: July 02, 2009, 03:58:51 am »

I like the rocks, I just think they need a little more definition in terms of shadows and highlights. The castle would look a lot more in place if you used similar colours to the rocks and also blended it into the grass somehow. Speaking of which, if you tart the grass tile up a little bit, all the details in the different objects should start to gel together a little bit more.

As for the trees, have a look at some references on't web. They seem a little too bare right now.

The biggest problem is really the colour scheme; again, check out some references of other RTS games

Pixel Art / Re: Platform Tiles, Grass doesn't look right ?_?

I think the problem is that the grass seems more like moss at the moment. When I realised that grass actually grows in tufts rather than individual blades, my grass tiles started improving.

I also think the dark green needs to shift more towards a purple hue, it seems rather detached from the rocks.

Pixel Art / Anders Portrait [WIP]

Hello

I used to be a member of pixelation 5-6 years ago and then dropped off the face of the internet. I recently started thinking about making a game but then realised I really need to start working on pixel/life art.

So here's a WIP character portrait I've had a go at as a practice piece. I say WIP because I want to get used to fine tuning a piece and I've always been a tad afraid of criticism
