Pixel Art / Blue the blob
« on: December 29, 2007, 01:46:57 am »
Here is my new avatar, its my second animated pixel ever (and my 15th or so pixel art ever), this one being 100 times more complex than my last one. Got bored at the end and kind of finished it really fast, but I am pretty happy with it just the same. Might add a few more frames to the end so it doesn't stop jiggling all of a sudden, but for the most part I am done.

Here are a few WIP:



and the final:



C+C appreciated.

Thanks for the input Surt, that is awesome! Sounds like I need to work on how I choose my colors. I will consolidate all these into a single image I can reference while I try again.  ;D

Pixel Art / [WIP] Soldier (Show me how to proceed)

Alright then, I am unsure how to proceed in shading/coloring this. Don't critique the line art it is fine for my purpose (practicing shading/coloring). Could someone tell me what I am doing right/wrong or whatever as well as how to proceed in finishing him. Also, if someone could actually SHOW me how THEY would do it with the colors provided I think that would be very helpful. Thanks a bunch  :)



Update (2\1\08):

I think I am getting the hang of it, not quite right, but here is my next stab at it.

Hey, I'm code wizard. I am 20 years old and as you might of guessed I'm a programmer. For the most part I want to be able to pixel my own game graphics. I have tried before, but I failed pretty hard. So basically I am here to learn...

Oh pixel artists of the interwebs, lend me your pixelating knowledge!

Thanks for the input. I wanted the ship to blend in with the black space background and have a more realistic look to it instead of popping out like a cartoon. I do see what your saying though.  I am using multiple shades of a dark gray near the edge, but it might still be too dark on the borders. I would really like more opinions on this and the different shields I did.

First post!!  :o

My trade is programming, but I have wanted to try my hand at pixel art for a while now. I have no art background or formal education in the area. Tried a few times last year, but I gave up. Anyway, my enthusiasm was recently reborn and I found this forum while searching for tutorials.

I need some well deserved critique on all the art I've "finished" so far. What have I done wrong, and more importantly what have I done right.


Messing around and trying to create a shield. Each row is a new try and I think I got it right on the 3rd for the small shield. I decided to try my hand at a larger version.


Little walking elf animation I did for fun:


Ship I did when I got into pixeling the first time:


Anyway, commence the critiquing, TAKE COVER!  :lol:
