Thanks for sharing. I really like the motorbike, and the transparent angel wings works very well for so few colors.
The site flat2d that hosts translation of japanese pixel programs has put online an archive of similar images for study, but as a big archive (page here). Hosted images are much easier to study, you can for example pass them to the PJ specs tool for zooming and analyzing colors :

That's an interesting archive, but filled with lots of old and low quality pixel art. Given how many good looking games the system has, it is worth the effort of filtering them. I got these from some zips that circulate over the internet with pictures extracted directly from the games. Needless to say most of them are pornographic, but the art is gorgeous as everybody can see. And I'm still filtering them.

I hope these pictures inspire someone, for my part I hope to learn from them.

Thank you for your answer. Didn't catch the shadow vs outline thing. The water for example does exactly what you describe. But when it comes to the grass, it looks magic to me, how much of a difference a pixel here and there can produce.

General Discussion / Final Fantasy IV GBA remake
« on: October 06, 2017, 06:21:33 pm »
I like the final fantasy remakes on the GBA. From the aesthetic point of view, it feels like they managed to do a lot with so little space. IV is specially great at this. Consider these sprites:







As a newbe, i'd like to understand how did the remake looked so good. Seems like it uses much more colors, which seems strange because is always discouraged in pixel art.
