Title: [WIP] Super low res rpg sprites [8x8] Help developing the style?
Post by: FallenMoons on October 03, 2015, 01:30:21 am
Just having trouble coming up with the color palette and just the overall style. I kinda know what I want and I tried my best to put it down on the screen (I'm a programmer, not an artist) so it's probably really bad. Anyway, I have this:

Even though it's not much. I've been working on this for 2 hours. Yuuup.

Not really sure what to do with the top of this little guy.

So, scrapped this guy, working on a higher resolution because I couldn't fit all the detail I wanted in some other sprites.

Neofotistou has a wonderful low res series she did where the entire screen is only 64x64 here:

Also Johan Vinet has been doing some work that fits your specifications more exactly, should be good inspiration:

Hope these help  :)

I initially thought that the belt buckle was his arm.  The way that his eyes are looking off to the side made me think that both his arms would be angled that way.  Then I saw his actual second arm and it sort of cleared things up, but I'm still not sure.

Look at the old (Amiga) games Walker and Lemmings. There might be spritesheets on The Spriter's Resource.

Eep. Thank you! Didn't even bother to look, that was bad of me. Fixed.
