This is a fabulous idea... It add just what was needed to the sprite. Thanks for the edit, I hadn't visualized that type of texture, and that was quite inspiring.  :)

here's a start:

yeah, I should just post these in one topic (no one seems to really comment on them anyways)  ;D

I have a good idea for a game with an original story called Dark Harvest (which I have actually written already). This will be based on the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game... The game and story is quite complicated and will take me quite a long time to complete without help, so It will be an ongoing project (it is quite art-intensive). All of these sprites will not necessarily be used in the game, but in practicing and developing my color selection, highlighting, and shading techniques, I thought I would stick to the topic. Animation practice is next, I think. Thanks for responding and asking!

Yeah, the whole Yog-sprite is too uniform... I love the look of it, in general, but it doesn't have the other-worldly feel that I was going for. Design problem this time as opposed to color and shading...

Sprite: Yog-Sothoth, The Gate

I'm a little ticked at myself for making the shape of this so starfish-like, but it'll do for now... I'll make a second version when I have time.

Highlighting and shading is something I've been working on, and I appreciate the comments.  :)  I was going for a straight-on light source, and no dithering caused a pillow shaded effect that was even more hideous. The lips were not really "lips", but a sort of "gums".


"Think about the volumes you are trying to represent as a whole, not individual pieces..."

Could you elaborate more on this? This really seems to be the key to the success or failure of my pieces...

This is a creature based on the H.P. Lovecraft inspired game Call of Cthulhu. I'm planning to animate it and use it for a game project of my own....
