Hello,

I am aiming to make some small robots for a game, as I have no artist I will need to learn pixel art well enough to at least make a prototype.

I am very new to Pixel Art and probably break all the rules, any tips or help would be appreciated.

Some early ideas


Attempt at a robot with mini guns

I am thinking floating robots or ones with tracks will be easier to animate so probably go with something move like this

Hello Way of the Pixel users,

I am very new to pixel art, I am a corporate developer by day and a hobbyist game developer by night. I am yet to find an artist to pair up with so decided to try and get to a decent level so I can work solo.

I have made a few games:

Cyber Punk Jam - A tribute to Amiga walker, The walker is not my own
Mech Stroller

Flappy Jam - Did this to practice pixel art
Clicky Pixel

Endure - Ongoing isometric Island roguelike
Video of Isometric / Island Game

I hope this gives an idea of the level of pixel art I can work to, I think it is pretty poor at the moment and is stopping me accomplish what I really want from the games I am working on. I can code but I cannot art.

I would like help with the following
I have a new project which will include a lot more pixel art and animations, I have done some drafts of two main characters, please be brutally honest about the following image, how can I improve these before I start animating etc?:





Thanks for your time, I hope my introduction was useful and not a waste of your time.
