Title: [C+C] First pixel art thing
Post by: ABC on July 30, 2011, 02:23:15 am

Here's Lanky Boy.

It's the first pixel piece I've done, I've having a hard time cleaning up the lines, but it's coming along OK I think.
I tried to apply what I read on the forums here.

What's under the green line is still a rough sketch, what's over it is considered finished.

C+C is more then welcome

Here's a little update, I tried to complete the body but I wasn't couragous enough for the extrimities yet  :)

Maybe he's not lanky enough to make him special?
Maybe I should make him more spagetthi-like?

UPDATE:

Did the coach version for fun and to get used to pixel stuff.
I find drawing exactly what I want is hard with pixels, just look how ugly the hands are.. :/

I think you should add one more lighter highlight color in the hair and  enhance the contrast by putting shadow behind the right arm and leg :

i tried with some more powerful contrast by putting dark brown in some places you will figure out.

But overall the sprite is very good and i'd like to see it move :)
