that's what i did... it looked quite good.
then i started the shading and stuff and while some parts improved some flaws emerged. anyway i'll break it apart e redo the shapes where needed. maybe ill redraw the legs.
now im going to sleep, my brain is frying.

It's still part of the project that I'm doing, but I am opening a new thread because the old one seems dead.
This is my main character



and I am working on his running animation. Please help me to make it better!

okay, maybe too much of an early stage. I'll post some progress. Hope this time I get some replies ...
the elvis poster is traced from a photo, that was the effect I intended to do.. notice that the wardrobe is still a problem!


now look at this guy... I don't know, the outline doesn't satisfies me, because I quite like what I did on paper and I'd want to do something that gives it justice. Maybe I did something wrong in the paper drawing? Or is it a tracing method issue? do you think I could trace this drawing in pixel art and make it look good? I don't think is too much detailed..

hey guys I'm back.
Don't worry, I found the way to run GG on my mac.
The flash animatic is nearly finished (stuff that I don't think you are interested in) so I am back to the pixels...
this background is very "work in progress". For example the tiled wallpaper is ugly but it's just a very first draft.
What I am stuck on is the texture on the wardrobe. It is supposed to be wood, but it should be like a treated wood not a rough one, the texture on modern forniture is very light and I have some trouble to render it.
Have you got some good references (in pixel art, not photos)? thank you.
Any other suggestion will be welcome, but keep in mind this is in a initial stage still

hey guys!
I didn't abort the project...but I've been busy with a lot of stuff recently as I am moving to London for a while. I also bought a new computer, and it is a MAC.
Now, Pixen is laggy, but I found this site which is constaintly updating and fixing it as it is open-source.
https://github.com/philippec/Pixen the Pixen you can download from here is stable and good.

the problem is... I can't manage to cut and paste in the same layer :S
and also flipping and rotating isn't easy at all.
Do you know good alternatives for MAC?

I'll post soon other pieces from the project...right now I'm working on the animatics but I'm getting back to the pixels soon!
