[WIP] Little Ninja + Tileset

[tehwexxl0rz]

Just threw this together. Pretty boring and unoriginal, but it's on commission... :/

Virtually no color limit, but I'm restricted to 16x16 pixels. Any critique is much appreciated.

Tileset:

I don't think you need to add any more colors: it's very readable in its current state. Can't wait to see more.

[tehwexxl0rz]

Thanks, Mush! I think the readability is good, but I feel like it's utterly lacking in personality. Maybe I'm just sick of ninjas. >_<

replacing dark-grey with purple to make it more alive ?
The wind-waving band could work better if animated slowlier

[tehwexxl0rz]

Woohoo! I've been permitted to up the resolution to a maximum of 32x32!

New version:


Ponytail and scarf will be animated. It was meant to be a girl, but I think that barely comes across...

[Phlakes]

All the parts of the body are the same value, maybe try darkening the parts that are farther away. Should be a simple improvement.

Actually, now that I look closer, the pose looks like her lower body is facing toward the camera and the rest is only slightly pointed to the side.

[tehwexxl0rz]

Thanks for the feedback, Phlakes. Is this better?



I played with the color ramps to make them more interesting. I also altered the silhouette slightly to be more feminine and removed the diagonal line across the chest for readability.

Yay/nay?

Idle animation:


Update:


(No ponytail or scarf yet...)

Hmm... would the sprite look better without the trailing scarf? I wonder if it would be too distracting in motion.
I'm having trouble making her look feminine. I think the eyes in particular are too masculine, but it's difficult to fix at such a low resolution. :/

i love your sprite and the animation also, but there are some things that are bugging me.

the clothes' higlights seemedtoo bright to look natural, so i dropped them. I also changed your hair pallette to a more saturated version and darkened the hand and foot in the back.
