Hello everybody! My name's Chris and I'm from Ontario.

I'm 18 and taking an extra year of high school while I improve my marks and try to amass some money for university tuition. I've been pixelling as a hobby for a few years and now I'm going to see if I can make a bit of extra money through freelancing work.

There's my intro.

Be my guest 

Excellent. Thank you very much.

hey, just thought I'd suggest a totally functional and useable pixelart app, that will allow you to loop animations and much more

This is just what I've been looking for! Thanks. Until now, all I've had is the internal animator in Game Maker.

The "furry" thing isnt looking furry at all, all the dithering doesnt help get a sense of fur. I would suggest you shape individual strands of hair and use far less contrasted shades.

I was actually going for a shag carpet sort of fuzziness. Not exactly long hair, so I'm not sure about the strands thing. Suggestions?

It gets offset one pixel during the animation. I'm not sure which frame but it's pretty destracting.

I'd completely forgotten that it did that when I posted it. That is on my "to fix" list.

Hey guys this might be a bit off topic but I love the look of your guys sprites but what i would like to know is what program u use for this. I sometimes make sprites on paint but they look horrible

I actually use MS Paint as well. I like it because it's simple, the interface is very uncluttered, and it takes virtually no time to start up. I haven't seen any of your sprites, so I can't really comment on them, but it's all about practice and an eye for detail. Probably most of the people on this site have been doing this sort of thing for years (about 5 in my case).

Thanks for all of the feedback so far.

If I had to level a criticism, I'd say that your iso tiles are a bit weak in comparison to the rest.

I agree actually. I guess I just don't get much isometric practice because I usually prefer doing non-isometric work.

The dark, orange-outlined golem-type guy is awesome!

Thanks! I knew that I wanted to make a big, half-silohuetted creature with trees and whatnot growing on its back but it was originally going to a quadrapedal thing with big teeth. After I finished the rough body shape, I realized that it looked sort of like a hand (with the teeth as the fingers), so I rotated it 90 degrees and drew the rest of the image outward from the hand. Its funny how things like that happen.

Very nice  I quite like the robot, so I did an edit:

I really like the edit, specifically the perspictive fix on the far eye. However, although I do think that I should probably up the contrast I would consider the contrast in yours just a little higher than I would like. Also, the near eye doesn't seem quite as round anymore (Although it probably would sit on the ground better like that). The dark band between the two bands of light was originally supposed to be a stylized sort of shading or reflection or something (I'm not entirely sure, it just looked good to me), but I think that I may like you adjusted shading as much or even more. Thanks alot for the suggestions.

the black monster thing with the orange outlines is awesome, looks like and enemy in drawn to life (A really weird and strangely awesome game for the DS)

the furry thing with the tounge is sweet, id love to see an animation of that.

I've heard of "Drawn to Life" but I've never actually played it before.
As far as the furry thing goes, I actually did make a quick animation but it really only consists of his eyes glowing and his upper part bobbing up and down.

I've decided to post the animation of the little blue thing firing its laser after all. The animation doesn't loop, unfortunately, so you'll either have to download it or keep refreshing the page if you want to see it.

If someone could make it loop and repost it, I would be indebted to you. I need a new .gif animator.
