Pixel Art / Help with shading helmet
« on: January 20, 2011, 10:42:47 am »
I've been messing around with this for a while now, and stepping away from it I noticed the helmet didn't look quite right. I've redrawn it a couple times, but I can't seem to get the metal look down. The only thing I like about it so face is the face. I also realized, I have no idea how metal should be shaded when doing pixel art.

Could anyone maybe help me out with it? Maybe link a tutorial or something? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Pixel Art / Adventure
« on: July 31, 2010, 09:21:59 pm »
I've been bored lately and came up with this after a ten minute doodle. I like where it's going, but I can't figure out how to color it. I saw the thread with the cave explorer using EGA colors. I liked the palette, but I don't really know how to color with it.



There's my attempt, but it just doesn't look right. It's very flat. Does anyone have advice on how to color with this palette?

Pixel Art / Shoot'em Up
« on: June 12, 2010, 03:20:21 am »
Every time I play a vertical shooter, I get this urge to want to make one. So recently I've started making one. Not a whole game, just a level. I've been coding and working for four days now, and wanted to make sure I was headed the right way with my sprites. Any critique?



No background as of yet, but I'm working on it. And I'm starting to not like the yellow winged ships, but I'm not sure if I want to scrap them yet.

2D & 3D / Blue Falcon
« on: December 18, 2009, 03:13:30 am »
I'm trying to model the Blue Falcon from F-Zero, and it looks pretty good to me so far. But once I tried to UV it, the UV map looks kind of funny. I'm not sure how to UV correctly, but I'm pretty sure that my UV doesn't look right. I'm using Blender, any thoughts?

Pixel Art / Army Guy
« on: December 12, 2009, 10:08:26 pm »


I started making this army guy, and I'm liking how it's turning out. I started small, then enlarged it and removed blockyness. I've tried to color it, but I can't seem to get it right. I'm not sure how to go about doing it because of how small the guy is. Right now it's only 3 colors I think, but I want to make it more detailed.

Note, I didn't realize how it barely stands out from the background here, so if you can't see it, just right click and view it.

Pixel Art / A tiny anteater
« on: September 18, 2009, 12:24:24 am »
I started making this anteater thing here, and I'm going for a small amount of colors. This is only 4 colors, and I think it looks pretty decent, but I could use some thoughts.

It's kinda weird looking at it on this page, but I think it looks pretty good so far.

Pixel Art / Fighting Sprite
« on: April 13, 2009, 05:54:24 am »
I got bored, and thought I'd make a sprite for like, a fighting type game. Maybe a selection screen or something. Anyway, I made this earlier, and i cant help notice it looks a bit off. I like the pose, and the right hand looks awesome, but it feels kinda weird, I don't know how to explain it. What do you think?

Pixel Art / girl sprite
« on: February 27, 2009, 04:26:01 am »
after trying to make sprites using VERY few colors, i came up with a good looking sprite. now, first, it looked pretty crappy. i could draw a face that small, so i decided to cover it with something. it was a person, so i though, hands. but overall, i hated this sprite.



so i gave it another shot, and spent 3 hours on this, and only 6 colors.



im hoping it looks better. ive never really gotten smooth animation down, but i think its good. i dont know how id make an idle stance, so i didnt animate her standing.
