Title: boatswain C&C
Post by: Arafuin on June 04, 2016, 08:20:26 pm
Hi There,

This is my first pixel art project and post on this forum, and I'm posting here in a quest to improve as an artist. There is really no need to be soft on me.

The project I'm working on is supposed to become an isometric adventure/shooter game, so I'll just start by posting what I have tried so far;

first little test

second test, nude, so there are no distractions  ;)
it doesn't really feel right.

the boats are way off, they dont feel right at all

That's about it so far, feel free to let me know what you think and suggestions are always welcome.

ps: Im also not sure about the resolutions, especially for the ships.

I cant wait to hear from you guys!

That first walk cycle doesn't look quite right, I think the legs don't move enough.
it also might help to tweak a couple pixels at the shoulders to better emphasize the arm movements, but that's a smaller touch that might interfere with the clean lines of the design.
