Pixel Art / Re: [C+C] Alien walking animation (tips for shading and arm movement)
« on: January 09, 2017, 11:32:51 am »
What is wrong about a mirrored animation? I feel like this is a well executed work. It feels smooth and lively (in a "game sprite" way).
There is something about the back arm that bothers me: It expands in a strange way when it swangs forward.
Similar goes for the feet. Why do they grow and shrink while moving?

Now to the shading:
The shading of the front and the back view gives your alien a "perfectly" round head. What it hasn't.
And there is something else: Your alien doens't have a neck in the side view.

The darker colours of the shirt look off. It's like the alien has some pit-stains. Try to use only one colour to shade the shirt and the trousers. It's okay for a sprite of this size.

This is beatiful. It doesn't look like porn. It's just aesthetical. Women that feel natural about their body and their sexuality.

With this in mind, I would love to see more diversity among them. Don't know if this is something you consider. To give them different body types or more skin colours.

@skittlefuck

Ah, this is awesome. Such a nice moodlifter.
Want to go outside to catch pokemon now.

Please show more stuff like this.

BTW: I'm not sure if trees will grow in a right angle in this case.

This is absolutly crazy. I don't want to miss any Secret Santa from now on.

Thanks a lot Mastak_A. I really love my present. But that's no wonder, how to not love a polka dancing christmas whale? (Or is it a sleeping cap?) I'm going to use it as my avatar since I didn't have one. :)

Thank you everyone for all this great art. Please don't stop being amazing.

I like the composition, but that's it. Not even close to what I wanted to achieve.  :-\
But well... I will learn from it.
The one who can state my intention gets a gummi point.

I'd like to add to API-Beast's comment: Using the same palette isn't a bad thing. Using different colours can make the characters (and other interactive entities) feel like they're not actually in the world. However, using the same balance of colours/values is a bad idea. Even if you're using the same palette, the characters should be using more contrasting colour combinations than the background.
A good example of what I mean is Final Fantasy Adventure for the Gameboy:

It's limited to black, white, and two greys. The background uses all four of those colours, and yet the characters stand out quite well. Why is that? It's because the background uses mostly white and the light grey, and uses the dark colours sparingly, while the characters do the opposite - they're black with some grey, and only a little white (and they use a black outline for those things that can't otherwise be dark). You can apply this idea to larger palettes as well (but remember to take hue into account as well, not just value).

There is another thing, that seperates the player sprites from the background. The sprites are shaded sparingly. They are build with big patterns of the same colour.

Look at the rocks of indiemaatheus first post. They even look more like player sprites than the real ones. It's the same for the poles and the grass.
I think it would help to build up the sprites with less shading what leads to using less colours.

I really don't know what happened to my straight lines over night. Well... drawing parallel lines and right angles free hand isn't the easiest task, so what...

Dennis, "10.12.2016" looks great. It's so detailed yet simple.  Lovely szene. I feel at home while looking at this.
