General Discussion / Laptop Color Calibration(pixel related)

« on: June 25, 2008, 07:01:41 am »

No matter how I calibrate my laptops monitor it never matches the correctness of my desktops crt screen. This is quite annoying because I can't design pixels with colors on my laptop because they are wildly off from what everyone else will see. Does anyone else have a problem like this, or even better, a solution? I'm getting really tired of having to switch to my desktop just to color things. Kills my work flow completely. Please help.

Pixel Art / 3 Hit combo Animation (WIP)

« on: June 04, 2008, 12:30:04 pm »

I originally had this posted in Pixel Joint forum however I did want it over at pixelation but unfortunately it has been down(I think)
Here is the original thread just in case you want to see.
http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6587&PID=95902#95902

These next drawings are my attempt at building up a combo for a character that I'll be using in a game. C+C please

Most up to date versions below vvvv comments and critique please

Combo 1(this is someone elses edit but I liked it best so I went with it.)

Combo 1+2 vers. 1

Combo 1+2 vers. 2

Older versions below vvv

1st vers.

2nd vers.

I came up with the version below because I realized I had to break up the animations if I want it to work as a combo in an actual game.

Combo 1(after a few edits)

Pixel Art / (wip) Standing character C+C

« on: May 06, 2008, 09:29:20 pm »

Can anyone offer me some C+C on this character? I'm not too sure about a few things but I can't quite put my finger on them.

Also I was wondering what everyone uses to make a palette? I just start up Graphics Gale and use the 24 bit color option. Is there a better way of getting started on a sprite? I have such a hard time matching colors.

(edited 10 minutes after the first(not sure which looks better)

Pixel Art / [WIP] Help with new attack animation(s)

« on: January 23, 2008, 06:02:45 am »

You may remember an attack like this from Megaman X4 or the Zero, or ZX series.

The main thing I need help with is the image streaks(I know I have another thread for that and I just checked it so I'll be reading that one thread thats posted at the bottom after I post this.)

[edit] All my animations to come will be in this thread

Pixel Art / Image streaks/Blur/motion streaks?

« on: January 15, 2008, 12:58:22 am »

I was wondering where exactly can i learn more about this. Its pretty difficult to find reference of how its done in real life. There is plenty of reference for sprites and stuff, but nothing in the real. So what are the exact mechanics for image streaks? Is it the point of which eyes can no longer track it? When would you draw an image streak from a duplicate sprite that you already drew, and when would you draw a new sprite pose with an image streak over it?

I'll post some fire emblem examples of what I mean. I'm hoping this thread is a success cause I would love to learn how this is done. And if there is anyone who is a master of this technique please reply

Hello everyone I'm Mike and i'm new here. I haven't been a pixel artist very long. I have these sprites from a game I have been working on. They are WIP and I was hoping to get some honest critique. I'm actually very excited I found this site and can't wait for the feed back.

I hope its ok that they are in gif format

Running animation C+C please
