Wow. I wanted to take a break from doing art, so I decided to play with my Super Joy (Nintendo/Famicom knockoff). I plug it in and it blows up in my hand. Heard a loud pop, saw some sparks, and it cracked the plastic. Kinda scary.

... I think I'll play with my Sega Saturn instead...

Adam's a busy man. I'm sure he'll announce the winners when he's ready to.

Okay. I went to bed, but woke up really early. >_<



I did an edit for you, and created a 2-frame animated gif showing the original image and the edit. That way you can zoom in and see what changes I made.

I tried to change as little of the original lineart as possible, but her mouth was way too far down. She almost didn't have a chin. I made a new palette, which ended up looking a lot like all of my standard pink and purple ones. Eh. Those colors just work really well. In the end, I dropped the 14 color original palette down to 12. In really small pieces like these, every pixel makes a huge impact on the picture. If one pixel is out of place, that can make difference between having a nostril, and not having one at all.

Oh. And remember, these forums have a built in image-zoom feature. (Click on the pictures to zoom in.) You don't need to post the images at 2x size.

There are still some spots that aren't right on mine. I hope that you can pin-point them ('cause then you'll be able to spot them in your later pieces.)

I see it just fine. The problem is probably on your end, AKira.

The picture has no depth. I see that you've chosen your light-source, which is good, but there's so little shading. Even if the light-source were REALLY bright, there'd still be, at least, a shadow being cast on the wall behind her. I'd give you more critiques, but it's 4 am here. I'm sure someone else can take it from where I left off.

Ive been spending most of my time between pixelart done at ungodly sizes. I think Im in the middle of about three or four, and Im pretty sure Ill never finish any of them.

You and me both. The first is good. Like it lots.

The 2nd one is fantastic. Beautiful palette. The form seems pretty good so far. The clothing seems too bright in some areas, and the lightsource becomes a little lost. Don't give up on this one, as it'll make for a fantastic piece.

Welcome back, bro.

They play in promotion just fine.

The contents of the .rars are individual scenes from that infinite loop 120% animation (or whatever it's called).

Only sharing this because the pose looked similar. (I'm sorry, my sweet reputation. I'm sorry...)

Pixel Art / Re: First Sprite

A couple quick tips when working with a sprite of this size---

- Focus more on the illusion of depth and don't rely on outlines. In fact, I find it easier to not use ANY outlines.
- Choose colors that you can use throughout the piece. Don't just have "flesh" and "clothing" colors.

If I wasn't so busy, I'd expand on this. Sorry. That's all I have right now.

Japantown is ok for Japanese food, my girlfriend is japanese, and we go there mostly to get supplies that are otherwise unaccessable at the Korean markets. Monsoon, do you live in SF too? maybe we should get a beer :D

I live in Santa Rosa, which is about 45 minutes north. I haven't driven through SF in a while due to an insane work schedule, but in a few weeks, I plan on making the trips more frequent. (Weekly.) Next time I'm headed that direction, I'll shoot you a message.
