Title: Superman needs your help [C+C][WIP]
Post by: Stib on August 13, 2012, 08:28:58 pm
Hi Guys! So I'm trying to create a general character template that I can use to make all kinds of different characters (from robots to superheros).

As a test I chose superman as my first char.

I'm very new to pixel art so

1. How do you think I can improve this??
2. Which superman outline looks best?
2. Also how can I get the "cartoon" feel of the heavy outline without...well the outline? I tried a single pixel outline ( the superman on the bottom) and I don't like it for some reason.

Inspiration from:
http://www.thepocalypse.com/ (http://www.thepocalypse.com/). He uses double pixel outlines on the outer edge of his characters.
and some of my old work
