Pixel Art / Re: Warrior practise
« on: May 18, 2008, 05:41:07 am »Realistically speaking the armor plating adds way too less thickness to the character, however, the muscles are so amazingly oversized that it compares. The only issue left is those too big hands and too thick arms. Please include the animation frames next time, so I can actually analyze your sprite more thuroughly.
hi thx for the feed back
i feel the same way when i was doing the armor...
and i also think the left arm is a bit misplaced
i included the frames, pls give more suggestions thx
To me the body does not fit the head, i think the face looks pretty young and the body looks like a strong developed man body. It also looks like the head is colored differently than the rest of the body and it makes his head looks like its pasted on a different body. The body is much more red while your head lacks that same amount of color and detail. Looks better with the armor on, but I agree the arms are too big and the hands too large.
there is reason for the head and body difference
although it's a very bad reason
i was actually working on a anime like 2 head little character
then i changed my mind after i finish the head- errr
and i didnt feel like to go back to change the head again - smack==
thx for your opinion
Is this really how you work? Is this your process? from smal head to musclebody then armor on top on a ds mockup? Do you come from a sprite editing background?
The muscles are mostly invented, and I find the 'anime head on a body builder' effect kind of garish. The lighting on the armor is ok yet on the whole the pose and how the plating falls on the body parts suggests you are not clear on the volumes of the body parts. As mentioned, the head is not very well connected to the body, regardless of the style clash.
hmmm no, just showing when different layer are turned on/off
the reason why i seperate the head/hair/body/armor/weapon is that i want to switch moudules
to change outfit of the character
my back ground.. hmmmm no.... this is my first half year on pixel art or any kind of art =_=b
i was a programmer before, so i kind of dont have background -.-
anatomy is one weakness of mine, i actually looking at anatomy books when doing this one
and obviously i still get it wrong, i guess it just take time to be good
would you like to do some editing if you have time?
thx
=======================================================
to all
here is a question, the mock up i wanted to do is kind of a side scroller fighting game
should i go with very muscly style or more anime cuty style? what do you guys think?
