Title: Archer
Post by: Huge on November 08, 2006, 01:33:55 pm

Hi,
  My previous work has been a bit cartoony to get into the finer points of pixel art,
so this is my first attempt at trying something a bit more usual.

(http://gamemosaic.com/example_images/archer.gif) new -> (http://www.gamemosaic.com/example_images/archer2.gif)

I had a fair bit of trouble with the head.
I based it on this reference (http://gamemosaic.com/example_images/archer_reference.jpg).

Feel free to be as abusive as you want.

Edit: Changed the head around a bit (I said I was having problems).  Gave the arrow a business end.

I think that the head needs a bit more contrast.
It's hard to discern between it's details.
Also, the bottom left part of the head's outline looks a bit... odd.
And I don't believe that they make arrows with flat heads XD

Ok I has another go at the head - I'm happier with it now, but it could still use a certain something.
