hehe... this is probably a little off beat but it really was just a quick art project I did as a joke... a few diggs might help me out, though

Mind making me one? I'd really like to be over payed and under worked.
Contact for details.

Not sure why, but they look disconnected from the ground. The grass feels like a wall they all have one foot against. The other foot seems to be floating almost.
They're in a dimetric perspective and the grass is being seen from directly above. Some overlapping might help the cause.

This looks like the kind of thing you want. The Optimus Maximus is expensive but you can do a lot with it. It's about 1300 USD.
You might want to look around for replacement parts to these USB mixers. I had some for a small Mackie mixer, ended up needing them for the mixer. Not exactly plug and play stuff going on.
You'll need to read up on hardware and programming.

Has anyone else seen the latest "masterpiece" in the X-men movie franchise? It was rubbish.

SPOILER!
Wade Wilson was great until he was Dead Pool. Dead Pool was one of my favorite Marvel characters of all time. They ruined him! He took powers from a bunch of mutants and then put then pooled (it was their pun, not mine) them into Wade Wilson. Also Saber Tooth is Wolverine's brother? The film ruined the whole Weapon X story. So many things upset me about that movie.
/SPOILER!



I also have low expectations for SOTC the movie.

I think you shouldn't be practicing anatomy with pixel art. Practice with pen(cil) and paper.

I don't think this medium lends itself to learn the basics. Pen(cil) and paper are fast and easy to work with. Study form while you're at it.

Yeah... Game Maker is a lot more flexible and a lot less wonky than MMF is. I think the way it organizes data is superior to MMF as well. Although I'm also finding that it's not as idiot-proof as MMF is.

Comes with the territory I think.
 I teach Game Maker to kids at a computer camp during the summer and I can understand where you frustration comes from. On the plus side you understand the creation of graphics and probably understand the process of game design is more than "mario shoots tanks at the smiley faces".

Pixel Art Feature Chest / Re: [WIP] More Characters

<- Mine | Yours ->
You have quit a few extra colors you could easily clean up. AA'd parts and might have found a solution to that fingers problem. Tried showing some indications of a face. I think it just blends in with the beard.
Clean up your color count and try AAing a few parts and I think you'll fix a few problems. I did a few small things that I can hardly notice. Zoom in and find anything you like. I think you can make a more attractive looking hand than I did.

Good luck and great work so far.

Don't thank me words, thank me with results.

Let me see something that takes everything you learned from my edit and make it better. Feel free to do a little experimenting if you want. This board can be really useful to those who do a lot of work themselves. You can learn a lot just by ready other posts. I hope to see something nice from you soon.


EDIT:
What are you making this piece for? Is it for a game or simply for practice? I think knowing the purpose of this could really help the critiques.

I think you need to look at your reference a bit more.

I made a rough edit. You need to make that hat a little taller. Scrap those red eyes, just pointless putting them in there.

My edit isn't perfect but a few things need to be pointed out.


Clean that black line up. I've always imagined these bots were the most miserable off all bots. I think the eyes should convey that.  Don't they have mouths too?
I think my hat is too tall.

You might want to study the original sprites Capcom made of this guy.

I don't mean to be rude, but this sprite seriously gives me a head ache. It feels like it's very blurry. What's up with that?

Other than that I think you would really benefit from doing a few sketches with pen(cil) and paper.
