Pixel Art / Hudvice

« on: August 20, 2016, 11:36:23 am »

Get it? Hudvice, it's like advice. Funny right?

So basically my current HUD is not good enough for me, everything is all over the place, sizes are mismatched and just looks plain wrong, not to mention super-cluttered:

A screenshot isn't really representative however so I uploaded the trailer WIP so that you guys can have a better look. You can look from 0:43 to 0:47 (it's 4 seconds long).

Basically, I'd like to know where I could the various elements so that it forms a uniform, coherent whole as opposed to how things are right now.

One thing I've already done is make the battery bigger so that it's less cluttered and more readable.

Pixel Art / Robo Geisha: Practicing Folds, anatomy and cybertech.

« on: July 13, 2016, 01:57:55 pm »

Yes, I know, this isn't looking great at the moment. Which is why I'm creating a thread. I'd like to practice other things than animation in order to progress.

So I can't really keep realistic proportions if I want the style to fit with the main character. I really want to have the clothing looking great though (which isn't the case at the moment). That's the challenge I've set for myself for that piece. I mean, of course, I want to improve everything.

The piece on the left was my first attempt, the one on the right my second one. Of course, this will get animated later on.

When I'm saying anatomy, I still want the robot to look humanoid.

Anyways, as usual, rip it apart and let me know everything which doesn't work here so that I can learn and improve.

Cheers!

Not happy with it just yet. Missing stuff but I can't put my finger on what. Lacks recoil for one thing.

Detailed critique encouraged and appreciated!

Pixel Art / Ferrari Spider (struggling)

« on: June 15, 2016, 02:23:14 pm »

Hello guys!

So I want to keep the ''cartoonesque'' style but I'm struggling as where to take things from there, especially the seating area which needs a lot of work.

Reference:

So if you could help that'd be nice!

Pixel Art / KickStarter Cash Meter

« on: June 11, 2016, 01:13:59 pm »

So quick question. I'm preparing for my KickStarter and I want to have this update system where Pan has different expressions depending on the amount reached so far in the KS. I've just begun this morning:

Basically, I'm looking for ideas of other ''states''. The ''tiers'' are the following (each tier being revealed as the amounts are reached):

1,000 - Ok
2,000 - Ok
4,000 - ?
6,000 - ?
8,000 - ?
10,000 -?
12,000 -?
15,000 -?

So I'm basically looking for 6 other things. I'm thinking of Pan in a spa with some ''bread women'', Pan driving a luxury car... but I don't have a lot of ideas besides that. I thought I'd brainstorm with you guys.

I'm also looking for the most nitpicky of criticism about the characters themselves. But as difficult as one can humanely be, criticizing everything you can possibly imagine. I need this to be perfect.

Also, how could I make the bricks of cash look less like bricks and more like stacks of cash? I've tried different things for more than one hour but couldn't get to anything conclusive.

Thank you for reading and commenting should you decide to do so.

Pixel Art / Dojo WIP

Heya,

I'm not done with the side of the roof but I'd like to know how I can improve the inside. Especially the area between the two doors which I'm not happy with. I think the roof looks pretty good.

Thank you!

Pixel Art / Working on a Font (with Pixelation)

« on: January 30, 2016, 04:43:10 pm »

There it is!

Could you tutor me, O Great Sensei of Pixelation and guide my way? Is the font coherent? Does it look good? No? Which letter doesn't and why?

Do teach me, Pixel Master, for I am willing to learn.
