I think the removal of the outline took the enthusiasm away from the beam shooting from his back.
Yeah, a lot of people had a problem with the black outline and I really don't know why, I'm considering putting it back. It's just finding the motivation to backtrack. I also miss the pig's blue ambience. Mainly because I don't like that huge shadow and I don't want to extend the midtone into it anymore than it already is.

A cool competition: Monster fights. Design your own monster, explain its moves and stuff, and pixel it. Extra points for attack animations!

Yes, outlines were better.
I'm lovin' these designs. For the big emptiness on the pigbeing, maybe you could add some wrinkles of fat or something. Some kind of large detail so as not to make it look blank nor cluttered.

I'd love to see these with a background/mockup.

Background so far. That tree is going to be a bitch to make. Right now it's just a place filler while I figure out how to make a tree.


And if you're curious, this is how the creatures look on it:

Hm, they blend well enough.  Masterful color choice once again. The shadows are going to need to be much larger.  Also, the trunk to leaf ratio on the tree is a bit off.  Add more leaves, make it larger and flufflier.  Also, I noticed the tree is casting a shadow on the ground.  Play with that.  Add a silhouette in the shape of the leaves.  I feel this would add a lot of great atmosphere to the piece.

That's unreal, man. The rendering and the colors are fantastic.

I normally only reply to an artist's post if they exceed my expectations with flying colors. With this, I believe you have.

The background is coming along nicely. The colors of the sprites mix well with it.
