Pixel Art / Re: [WIP] sidescroller sprite [C+C]
« on: January 29, 2013, 10:18:32 pm »
I decided to change the theme of the game to the North-American wildlife.
As you can see, I kept the original body shape and the animal helmets.
If anyone sees something that can be improved: colours/snowtiles/everything else, please give me some C+C.

Pixel Art / Re: help animating game character

I use gamemaker to import strips and export it to gifs.
I'm also making a sidescroller with superbrother's inspired sprites. I did a running animation so if you want you can have a look at it, because our legs look the same: http://imgur.com/1YH4L2i

Hi, thanks for the feedback you both.
I changed the beak on his helmet just like Applzor said and Joe did, and I think it actually looks a lot better now. I also extended the legs a bit and added a bit of a curve at the bottom.
Im trying to make a sideview too now, because his current pose isnt really ideal for a walking/running animation I think.

EDIT: I tried to make a running animation, but he moves a bit robotic.

Here is the strip if anyone is interested: http://imgur.com/1YH4L2i (when I use the img tags on it, it shows up as an icon)

Ok wow, now I look back at those sprites I just find them really ugly.
Also the character I chose to recreate was a bit too complicated to transform in simple pixelart.

So that's when I decided I should make something iconic.
Here it is:

I think it looks a lot better than my earlier sprites, and I also realized that the characters are facing you in an angle, so a walking animation would be impossible.
What do you think would be the best body type for this character?
And how can I make their clothes feel less flat?
EDIT: thanks to feedback and an example on reddit I now have really made some progress on my first guy:

Hey, Im new to pixelarting.
I did a few tutorials but I just can't seem to get everything right, so I decided to focus on more simplistic pixelart.
Im trying to achieve the style used in the game sword & sworcery, If you dont know what I mean by that, here is their website: http://www.swordandsworcery.com/

So far I have gotten from to
I think that quite some progress already, I used http://artfiles.alphacoders.com/422/42294.jpg as a reference to the character.
I know my shading isnt right, but someone on reddit said shading would make it look better, so I just added some darker colours to it.

but since I want this character to walk I need to have some sort of movement animation.
But the best I have done is but it just doesnt feel right and looks a bit funny.

so what are your opinions about this? and how do you think I can improve?
