[C+C] Rat man / Skaven

on: July 09, 2012, 02:06:57 am
Hello everyone,

Here is one of my first serious attempt at something else than a stick man. I am really not good at art in general, but I feel like pixel art is something where I could, with a lot of dedication, be able to do semi-decent things eventually.


My goal for this sprite is to make a "rat man" (based on Warhammer's skavens).

My reference was an unassembled skaven figurine:


And here is what I made of it:
==>

I know there are some issues with this, but I feel I make things worse whenever I try to fix them.

- I think my shading is off (one day I'll get the hang of it) :(
- The arm looks wobbly ???
- I couldn't manage to grasp the "mean" look of the face, and it looks kinda more like a dog than a rat  :-[

At least, I think it's better than my first attempt at a rat man (without reference):  :lol:


If you have any advice on the aforementioned points, or other things that could be improved, please feel free to let me know. :)

Some modifications done.

- Arm redone; it looks better imo, but not totally right yet
- Closed the mouth
- Moved the spear forward a bit
- Fixed the back of the cape

I tried to redo the shading on the bottom part, to avoid the large darker area, but it was not conclusive.  :yell:
