Pixel Art / Fakemon
« on: November 16, 2010, 12:16:36 am »
I figure I might as well try and hone my pixelart skills in my favorite subject, fanmade Pokemon.

Note: These are NOT in the Pokemon style, I make fakemon in my own style like Shaunybug and Neorice. That said my style changes with each sprite, but I'm guessing what I want to say is I want more complex, realistic shading...

- a living tar pit
- Color experiment, ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTARASQUE
- This guy's up for a resprite but I'm proud of him so I'm posting him here.

Mostly I'm looking for help on how to make my shading look really cool. I can manage to do it on some of my larger stuff but when it gets this small it's hard to do!

Pixel Art / [WIP] Bird woman

Just test-texturing the head while waiting for anatomy/lighting crits.

Still, the anatomy is far superior to the original version.

Pixel Art / WIP - Go back to sleep

Two characters from my work in progress novel, in a work in progress pixel! Haha... haha...
Uhh, anyways, any critique you could give would help. I think my understanding of anatomy has improved from past threads but I have a looooong way to go...

Pixel Art / [WIP] Big Head Challenge
« on: March 12, 2009, 03:42:39 am »
*copied from PJ*

Part of Jaeden's big head challenge. The goal of the challenge is to make a big portrait that looks like it could have been made using non-pixel methods.
I'm kinda straying from the goal for fear of this not being accepted + my <3 of contrast, but I'm having fun and learning new techniques along the way so it's a lot of fun.

Original:



Current WIP:



^ Kagami, a character from my story. She's a Gaki and she eats corpses. :P

The shading has obviously just been blocked out, and I kinda need advice on how to shade the hair/face before I go refining it. Color choice and anatomy advice is also appreciated.
Redlines are <3.

Pixel Art / Pokeymon
« on: January 05, 2009, 03:34:32 am »
...I wish I could stop dropping projects.  :(

Anyways, there's a contest on another forum where the person who improves their pixelling the most wins... something. I don't know but I thought it'd be good practice.
My first challenge (this is a Pokemon forum) was a Steel/Fighting type. I don't know why this popped into my head, but I decided to make Pokey/Porky as a Pokemon made of melted steel with a Fighting-type robot.
...I really need to finish EarthBound and Mother 3...  :-[


I'm pretty sure there are a lot of things wrong but that's where you come in. At least I'm not posting just an outline this time lol.

General Discussion / Judges Needed!
« on: December 04, 2008, 11:30:45 pm »
Posted at the joint as well.

I just challenged another Pokemon Mixing forum on behalf of my own. So, the Mixing battle between PMF Inc and The Pokemon Splice Splicer's Club will begin in a few days.
We need third party judges to judge mixes/edits of Pokemon sprites. You should be impartial and not disgusted by mixing (yes, I know, it's lame, but it's part of a tradition for many).
3 to 5 judges are needed. When the contest starts I will contact you with more information.
Thanks!

Pixel Art / Don't kill me, man!
« on: November 17, 2008, 08:33:50 am »

Need a little help on the hands and shading advice for when I start that step. Also, whatever other crit you can come up with.
Whoever knows where he's from gets a pixel-cookie.  :P

Pixel Art / More anatomy issues (WIP)
« on: September 07, 2008, 07:48:52 pm »


Posted this 3 other places, so it probably looks familiar.
I think it's a little better than most of my stuff but I probably just got lucky. (yes she will get some clothes)
Crit?
