Wow, no critique from me, sorry. Keep on going, this is really good! If I ever get to work on my Pixel Art Flash game, I'll be able to take notes from this thread

Lots of things seem off with this piece. Pixels are moving all over the place, and his rocky arm is unreadable as such (too thin and messy).
Even when parts of his body aren't moving, highlights and shadows are moving around, and hiding whatever animation is underneath. Why the hell does the highlight on his head need to move?
It looks like he's doing pelvic thrusts. I mean, what situation will he be in? A brawler? A platformer? It seems you can't decide whether to have him just breathing casually or in a "ready to kick your ass" pose.
I think you need to redo this.

Thanks, Olothontor, some great advice there! I'll try to think of a way to enhance the head-feathers.
It's very encouraging to hear praise, as well.
Anyone else got comments?

Pixel Art / Aztec Warriors [WIP]
« on: February 05, 2010, 04:21:03 pm »
I posted a WIP thread about this on Pixeljoint already, but the community here may be able to offer some different advice. (No replies on PJ yet anyway).
I want to make a collection of Aztec style warriors, maybe make a sidescroller mockup. But first I need to perfect the design of the first warrior.
(I'll post more if I get round to making them).

Edited the face, helmet, sandals, shield, spear, and head-feathers.
I'm having a little bit of trouble with his face - not enough space to make him look... human.
The chest/stomach area also needs work.
It's worth mentioning that I'm a newbie at pixel art.
C&C appreciated. Edits are also welcome/encouraged.
Even if you don't have any contructive criticism for me, feel free to comment.
Any posts are nice

Pixel Art / Re: I want to improve (Cranky Jack WIP)

Did you do that by hand?
There's a lot of different shades, even in the outlines, and it seems kinda random.
For such a small sprite, you really don't need that many shades - you're overcomplicating what should be a simple and readable sprite.
Try using one shadow colour, and one highlight colour, for each base colour.
Anyway, I made a quick edit to his face.
As Olothontor said, the face lacks definition and readability. I added some white near his eyes, a nose, and a mouth.
Not the best of edits, but you get the picture.
