Pixel Art / [WIP] Girl with cat

« on: January 31, 2008, 09:54:32 am »

Introducing Rolf, my stuffed cat.

14 colors.

I was going for something less realistic, initially, and started out with a mirror as reference. Then I looked at some pictures of myself because I thought I'd gotten the proportions wrong, but I apparently have short legs.

What do you think of it so far?

Pixel Art / [WIP] Curse of the Caves (EGA DOS game)

I was feeling nostalgic and played with the default EGA palette for a bit.

The two squares at the top show items in use. Red is the weapon currently in use and blue is for power-ups, keys, etc.

The uncut crystals serve as ammo, and you can combine different colors of crystals for different effects. There's also a diary for gathering notes and other pieces of information left by others.

I'm not really sure what I want to do next. Maybe add the remains of an ancient civilization or something like that. Those giant gold coins have to come from somewhere.

(One of these days, I'll actually finish something!

Pixel Art / [WIP] 1-bit space mockup with peanuts

« on: September 01, 2007, 02:32:44 am »

I was just doodling, and came to think of robotacon's space man thread. I liked the simple style, and thought a space setting could be fun to try since I've wanted to make little sprites out of my line art monsters. This is what I have so far. About 20 rock tiles, I think.

The main character is a humanoid alien of sorts. He's out gathering space peanuts. Space peanut oil is a valuable resource, you see.

I've finished the walk cycle. Now I'm working on the shooting animation and animating the monsters. Not sure about the background yet. I think it could use something like an asteroid belt to give it some kind of a horizon, so I'll give that a go and see if I can pull it off without making everything too cluttered.

Pixel Art / Demons [nudity and gore]

« on: July 12, 2007, 09:23:03 pm »

I seem to be drawing a lot of demons and monsters, so I might as well dedicate a thread to them.

An avatar I drew a few months back. Meant for a brighter background.

I don't know what to do with these. The first had a lot of anatomical flaws and might still need a bit of work. I don't find it very interesting apart from the head and the "wings". The second one also needs a lot of work, and the colors are dreadful. Any suggestions?

Pixel Art / [WIP] 16-color mockups!

« on: July 01, 2007, 03:03:10 am »

Taking a short break from the big stuff to make some more of these. They're fairly simple, just two tiles for ground per mockup, plus one destructible ground tile and one that crumbles under pressure. Also two tiles for water and three for ladders (bones, cactuses, vines, etc), plus two tiles that just serve to add a bit more variation.

Those white bird-like things in the swamp seem a bit out of place, I guess. I meant for them to be more ghost-like.

I haven't yet figured out how much I should brighten those darkest colors.

The last one is missing monsters. Any ideas? I only have some pointy icicles, and I don't think my polar bear is very interesting, so I haven't finished it.

The last two still need a bit of work. The rocky tiles are giving me a bit of trouble in the first one, since I don't want it to look too busy. Just haven't gotten around to the desert mockup yet.
