Copper & Fred!

[AdamAtomic]

I'm working on something a little more substantial but I snuck these in today:



Any tips on how to max the details out there would be appreciated!

[The B.O.B.]

Sure thing...But first I need to see what exactly your talking about. I gotz da red X.(can't see the pics, in other words)

The trick to maxing out details in small sprites is to not explicitly draw them, but to imply them.. it takes a good sense of abstraction to figure out which details to preserve and how to place varying shades together to replicate them.  It comes with practice :p

I'm very happy with these sprites, I actually can't give you any technique critique really... I guess you win!

EDIT: okay, okay, very very nitpick crits



let's call it a 5-1 your way then.

Hey Helm thx so much, that looks much more smooth and subtle to me!

[AdamAtomic]

Ok I updated Fred, I kept my selout on his brown area but I adapted your ear and neck shading pixel for pixel I think, its just dead on and helps those shapes pop so much, thanks again!

[Helm]

No worries. Glad to be of help.

Oh man, I love this comic. With a passion. *highfive*
But I think Copper certainly needs to be at least 1.5 times as tall as you've pixeled him. Unless you weren't going for the proportions.

[AdamAtomic]

Yeah razz you're spot on actually, but I made copper first at 32 px high, and then I had fred shorter but had to size him up to get the face detail I wanted, so I settled for out of proportion for now   hopefully I will get to repaint copper sometime soon!

and yeah, i agree, copper makes my month!  "jump station" is my most recent favorite...

I can't say for sure this is bumpworthy, I'm kind of new to this forum, but this was a huge honor for me:

Now I really wish I had made these sprites better!!
