Pixel Art / [C&C] Animated Fire
« on: January 08, 2011, 09:57:17 am »
I'm trying to improve my skillset. Here is my first stab at an animated fire. It looks OK, but not great. I could use some pointers.







Edit: Turns out the gif export distorted the original image: Here's the individual frames unadulterated.



thanks,

Pixel Art / Spaceship
« on: March 20, 2010, 03:58:58 am »
I made this in about 30-45 minutes. I did this just for kicks but I would appreciate any c&c.

The palette is a little sloppy. I used 31 colors, probably could trim it down if I wanted to.
I'm less than excited with the lasers.

Pixel Art / Cog - C&C

Ok, I know this is neither exciting or excellent pixel art but I could use a critique at my attempt of a cog here.





Feedback is greatly appreciated =)

General Discussion / Anti-Aliasing
« on: March 11, 2010, 03:37:52 pm »
Hey Guys,

I was wondering if I could get some expert opinions. I had a question about anti-aliasing. I know I am going to incur some scorn when I describe how I have handled it. What I've done is create a new layer in the project file and then use the anti-aliasing line tool to create smooth outlines over my original artwork. This automatically utilizes transparency effects and when flatted introduces a handful of shades that were not manually chosen and thus I can see how it's not precise, which precision I am learning is a key principle in pixel art.

The method I use is incredibly fast and by using layers I can avoid mucking up my original art. I feel that I have been able to smooth over edges quite well using this.

So now for my question. I was wondering how the expert pixel artist on these boards handle anti-aliasing. What advantages do these particular methods have? Thank you for your time =)

Thanks,

Bkeegan

Pixel Art / Just for fun - Fighter Jet
« on: March 06, 2010, 05:42:04 am »
I did this one just for kicks. I don't really have any plans to use it in anything.

This took me about 2 hours to make, start to finish.





I used this as a reference image: http://wallpapers.free-review.net/wallpapers/14/Fighter_jet.jpg

I obviously didn't follow it religiously.

Hey guys,

I've been working on some graphics for a game. I'm a pretty inexperience pixel artist so your input would be appreciated.
