Pixel Art / Chryssalid sprite (16 x 16)
« on: December 22, 2007, 06:41:30 pm »
Myself and Arne are big fans of Julian Gollop's games (Chaos, Rebelstar Raiders, Laser Squad, XCOM, etc..) We would both like to do new games inspired by these kind of games (but in different directions). Anyway, Arne has been sketching out some designs and I've done a few 16 x 16 pixel sprite versions. Altjhough small, I like working within the limitations of this size. I wanted to try do a version of Arne's style with a bit more of a moody 16-bit feel.

Arne has done a great version of a Chryssalid from XCOM: Enemy Unknown and I tried to do a sprite version with a bit more of a realistic style with some top-down lighting. But I've had problems with some aspects of this sprite. Does anyone have any C&C (or edits) which would help me see where I am going wrong?

I'm trying to improve my spriting, but feel like I have some 'blind spots', can anyone point out what I've done wrong and how to correct it within these limitations? Thanks!

I think the elbow in the left (our view) is balancing wrong. It looks to me like it is slightly too high and too much to the left, as if it was about to slip of her knee. It should be pressing into the skin on her knee and deforming both the skirt and the skin because of all the weight on it.

Also the left upper leg (again our view) seems to be going straight out over the top of the crate while the right seems to be bent up more. Yet both feet are in the same line (with the bottom of the crate). So this is wrong.

It looks good, but a little too blocky for my taste. However this seems like a stylistic choice as well as adhering to the techincal limitations.

Nice work. I like the 3rd picture the best, lovely colours.

Are you sure there is one best way? Don't all painters (classical and modern) work in different styles and ways?

Doesn't everyone have their own way that works for them though?

Here's my take on it (left), a darker version that uses a grey colour scheme while keeping most of the detail:

Cute :)

I guess 8x8 is a little too small really!

Care to give me a 8x8 example using your talented pixels? ;)

Hmm.. This might make a good challenge!  :P
