Pixel Art / Wolfman hair... help!!
« on: September 02, 2009, 02:15:52 pm »
I am creating a hairstyle off this head template with a werewolf/wolfman inspired look to is but it isn't sitting right with me...  I love how the side views turned out, but something is off with the front view.  I think it looks okay.  It's passable if I was stretched for time, but since I'm not so rushed I'm hoping for some help.  I am completely clueless what to do, though.  Can you pick out anything I need to fix?

Ignore the rear view of the head.  What's there is some fuzzy/spiky base I slapped together so that it wasn't blank.  Although..  I'm not sure how to go about making that frame, so if any of you have some advice I would love to hear it!

I think all the help has given me more patience with this.  Though I really should be rushing it...

Anyways I started working on the side view again.  I decided to go ahead and try and fix it by making its skeleton.  Here's the progression. What do you think, if I flesh this out....problem solved?

Ahh, this looks so much better when the face isn't static :)

I wish I could have gotten more done today but I must be off... so here's where I am for Sunday.

Does anyone have a good reference I can check out?

Edit:  A small update

Edit again: another update.  Should I have the mouth so exaggerated?

Thanks for all that, Mathias.  You're right...I'll have to animate the head in the end.  When I look at it, it looks especially goofy and unacceptable in the attack animation... there, if nowhere else, it NEEDS more.  I'll probably turn to the walking as well and give fix it there, but the attack is a must.

The red in the mouth is from the gums.  I suppose some of it is a bit too bright and vibrant, isn't it?  I hadn't noticed

I think I get what you mean with the cross sections.  Your just telling me to splice it and translate it to the other views to start with a very basic "3d" wireframe done in 2d, right? 

I suppose I could try it.  I had my hand and working at it a little, but it's still... um... bad.  I'm not a fan of the side view at all.  I don't know if I just suck with it or I'm rushing too much (or both) but it still isn't turning out right.  I really do need to start from scratch with the side view, huh?   :(   I was hoping to salvage it and move along my merry way, but...

Well, here's the sketchy form of my edit.
Evileye...any improvement?

Redo the head, then?  Do you think that would fix it?

So... I got really lazy.
Time went by, things kept getting in the way, and now it needs to be done.  Soon.  Here's what I turned out for the animation.
I'm wondering if the biggest problems I spot are worth going back and redoing. 
The front facing animation seems very thin.  And dark.
The side facing view is rather... pillowy and the chest seems to jut out too much.

Anything else? 



Also, there are probably small little blips and color artifacts here and there

Agreed, the animation needs work.  The arms aren't bad.  The neck and shoulders are bugging me a little bit, but it's mostly in the feet.  As they said, it looks like he's shuffling along in a weird circular pattern.

I always thought it was tough doing smooth 4 frame animations...and if you have a sprite as big as this...well it's not all too preferable.  For some animation reference, here are some walk cycles I've  done... 4 frame and otherwise. 





Granted there are probably images out there that could assist a lot better than mine  :-X but I hope these help anyways

Almost everything is pretty blurry on the squished version, I simply took it and re-sized it in photoshop

I know there are graphical errors everywhere, right now I'm just in my pixel sketching phase of it.  I'm trying to get the form of it...

I'm working on this yeti sprite, and I can't for the life of me seem to nail the side view.  I found it to help quite a bit if I stretch it out to make it more squat, but something still isn't right. 

Help?
