Finally time I'd post something here
Simple animation of a simple 16x16 character
Might start posting more again soonish ^^

From my perspective, I actually really like the one you did (far left) since it is bit less cartoonish. I think your style will need to vary depending on the type of game/project you are developing? Although I agree it won't have much charm itself, but by doing this you can spend more time on the details of animation / body language to make the character interesting or gives her some charm.

Good luck and keep us posted!

hehe, nice to hear that . Although you might definetly be right, I still do need/want to learn how to pixel in different styles, even though some might be more fitting for one thing that other.Currently don't have any time to develop my own games though, so this is just some practise. Might make one after I'm done with what I'm currently doing

Hi Cake, you've made quite a bit of progress since last I saw - well done!



Just went for readability a bit here. It's pretty cool to begin with, so I just used bigger areas of the same colour, picked a single lighting point and just messed around with random pixels. Moved the legs and tweaked the arms a bit, but that was mostly personal preference and to give you a look at alternatives.
She ended up with more curves on my edit as well. I blame biology.

Thanks, Ambivorous! nice to see you on this forum again too ^^ (or didn't you stop posting for a while? Maybe I'm just stupid  ). Yeah, what you did looks a lot better, I've tried to shape it a bit like yours, although that one was mainly just for showing what I had before . Whatever though, still edited it ^^. I think you were definetly right on the readability not being that good, so I've tried to change that too, also in my newer more caartoonish gal.

I like your stance more, Ambivorous.
What I dislike most about Cakes is the stance, I feel like the sprites are leaning to far forward, I can't not see Michael Jackson doing his lean.
I tried to remedy that in my own edit, but I think was was being to conservative with my edit.



EDIT: Moved some pixels around, managed to shift the weight more towards the center by a pixel.



Cake, don't let me hijack this thread now, at any rate. I'm having fun messing with this, so thanks!

oops, been wanting to post this reply yesterday but didn't have time . Anyway, I was going for a less curved or busty look with this one, might make another one with more curves and bigger tits, if I can just call them that without finding another word to bring it more appropriate. And yeah, I get what you mean by leaning too much to the right, tried to give her a bit of a more dynamic stance but I guess I just went too far. Tried to make her stand more balanced(especially with the edit the most to the right)

So, here's my newer version:



 Tried to go for a little bit more readability, probably accidentally made the boobs a lot bigger and made her a lot curvier, so might change that again, tried to make her stand more balanced and added a sword for funs. also made the head one pixel shorter and redid the hair

Spoiler
Redid the characters in a different style, because the other one was too cutesty and I couldn't really play with silhouettes(didn't do it a lot here either, but whatever). Left the naked templates and some pervy stuff I had to make for a friend(dn't know why I abided :'D), So I guess you could call it nsfw
