I tried this edit :



I incresed the reflexion, the contrast between the shade of greens and reduced the "flaws" in the matress. But I think that it depends really on the background for this sprite, as a lot of detail could make it "lost in the crowd" if the background has a lot of objects.

At this size, dither often does more harm than good.

It happens a lot when people start making pixel art, that they don't know how to fill the space so they dither everything

Yup, i'm just too used to higher resolutions where dithering is easier to render.

Anyway, thanks for droping by ! I re-tried, trying to follow what you told me and arrived at this result :



I'm still not really happy about it but, well, I think it's still better than the first one o/

Thanks, you lot !

This is my first attempt at making an NPC/Character model:



This is an example of my most recent:



Not claiming the latter is good, but it's an example of progression that i only gained through practice and critique.

out of curiosity, how much time has passed between the two drawing ? It's pretty good BTW !

Good evening everybody ! I hope everything's going right for you.
So, i've been working on the running animation of one of a characters, but no matter what I do, I can't figure out how to "perfectize" it . It always seems a bit of, as if it was missing something.

Anyway, I just want to say that i've been doing pixel art for only a couple of mounth, and thus I'm really not that advanced. Don't get mad over poor work, i'm doing my best <3


Here's what it looks like when animated :


a slower version :


and finally : how is the character when "standing still" so that you have an idea of what it looks like.


Thanks a lot for any retour ! Have a nive night !
