Hi all, this is my first time posting here.

Here are some "dolls" of my panda character that I've been making in the past few days. It's a female panda, so the idea is for me to come up with at least one outfit a day to satisfy her enormous wardrobe. She also have some costumes for special conventions...

Well, just some simple stuff. Hope they are not too boring

If you are interested in the character herself, here is some non-pixelart graphics of her that might show you more details since I am not very good with pixel art...
C&C welcome!

She's adorable. She doesn't look much like a panda to me, though. More like a panda/hamster/person.

I'm especially fond of your use of contrast. You minimize outlines, which is a look I like, and in other places you maximize contrast to draw things out. It looks like you have a good grasp of selout, too. I would say you're quite an accomplished pixel artist, but maybe that's just because you're appealing to the geek in me with the Star Trek and Harry Potter themes. My favorite, though, is the ballerina with doongle-bobblers on her head (that's the official ballet industry term).

Could you do one that's a little goth or street-punk with those little stubby tails in her hair near the neck line? I would just like to see that.

I think that the shape of the mouth sets it off making it not look like a panda.
Maybe the addition of a nose could help, but I believe that that kind of mouths only work on er... let's say "animals" with small snouts.
Might be a matter of style but doesnt convince me at all.
I just noticed that while you put some blue light source on the left (our left, and so making the hair blue/purple) it doesnt affect the arms nor legs on any but on the one holding the broom, so yeah you might want to check that.
Maybe the shadow that the hair makes could be AA'd better, but ah well.

Other than that, adorable.
Keep the "panda<3lvoe" coming

haha sorry XD

michi · **Reply #3 on:** September 18, 2005, 05:04:38 pm

thanks for the comment!
Goth outfit is something I want to try as well. Will see what I can come up with.

About she not looking like a panda but more like a hamster. I totally agree with that.
I think it's the lack of the signiture panda eyes.
I gave up using it though because it makes her looks like a zombie:

Maybe I should just give up the idea of calling her a panda...

DrDerekDoctors · **Reply #4 on:** September 18, 2005, 05:45:59 pm

Haha, that is *soooo* cute. Really really lovely colours and shape. Just wonderful. Love the Harry Potter one!

Addition for today:

I am having some problem with the bracers and AA, but I'll leave it here for now...

What a coincidence, I was just browsing your website the other day :3 Love your artwork! And these pixel-pandas are way too cute XD Great stuff, I especially adore the Chung-li-Panda and Kimono-wear-Panda!

Welcome onboard~

I see what you mean about the zombie thing. It's peculiar since real life pandas don't seem particularly reminiscent of reanimated corpses. likewise, real zombies don't actually gnaw on bamboo and make me want to hug them. Nevermind that, though, you go right on calling her a panda. I'm sure I've seen plenty of highly successful cartoon characters that share little, if any, resemblence to their animal namesake. Look at Stimpy the cat, for instance.

Kennethfejer · **Reply #8 on:** September 19, 2005, 12:39:53 pm

love em!
especially chun lee... oh and the star trek one of course

btw, you need one dressed up like mario, that would be the ultimate awesomeness!

LuciferianSoul · **Reply #9 on:** September 19, 2005, 02:32:55 pm

Wow, it's so cute!

garsh · **Reply #10 on:** September 19, 2005, 08:29:54 pm

It's "Chun Li" you guys! No G and no Es. You people should be ashamed of yourselves... Didn't you ever play and of the Street Fighter 2s?

Kennethfejer · **Reply #11 on:** September 19, 2005, 10:02:37 pm

sorry

garsh · **Reply #12 on:** September 19, 2005, 11:12:17 pm

michi · **Reply #13 on:** September 20, 2005, 02:49:27 am

Thanks everyone for the feedback

And for today it is...

Kennethfejer · **Reply #14 on:** September 20, 2005, 02:26:35 pm

haha soo cute

Matriax · **Reply #15 on:** September 20, 2005, 07:05:26 pm

And.....

Conzeit · **Reply #16 on:** September 20, 2005, 10:20:57 pm

wow....how do you do that? it's so toy like and heart warming. damn that's it, I dont know the first thing about mood. I have absolutley no idea why that looks so nice.

just to try and suggest something (cant...represss...crit...instinct!) I'd say make more templates so we can see diferent body shapes, but I guess dolls arent like that or something.

keep it coming

Mercury Rising · **Reply #17 on:** September 21, 2005, 12:16:42 am

That was a really bad pun, yet the panda's cuteness makes me forget that!! Your trickery is unfair! Then again Pandara Tommorrow would have been worse.
Yet I must crit. The Mario one just doesn't seem to live up to the standards of all the others. Maybe his pants are too tight or maybe it's my brain thinking that that is just a deformed Mario and automatically red flags it. I couldn’t tell you....

I did this really quick using color from the Mario and Splinter Cell pandas.

Well Michi if you were my partner in the pirate challenge I would be almost done... Sniff Sniff, do I perhaps smell a Panda Challenge?

michi · **Reply #18 on:** September 21, 2005, 04:10:25 am

Matriax,
Haha so Cool! She's even got some nice sexy 6 packs!

Camus,
How do I do this? Hmmm guess it's because I had too much Hello Kitty...
Thanks for the suggestion. Right now I can't think of other body shapes but if I do, I'll definately post them here as well.

BrotherInWar,
Thanks for the crit

I did have some problem with the Mario one, but was too tired to fix it last night... Well, since it was the talk like a pirate day, I shall do a pirate one as well!

For today it is:

michi · **Reply #19 on:** September 22, 2005, 12:53:14 am

Faceless · **Reply #23 on:** September 23, 2005, 03:17:25 am

Lol, the hair even looks like Link's hair from the old days.
Nice work on all of these, I think I like the Harry Potter one the most, though it looks more like Hermione.

Matriax · **Reply #24 on:** September 23, 2005, 08:37:26 pm

Jajajaja Panda-link

I try to make another.....

Matriax · **Reply #25 on:** September 23, 2005, 09:54:43 pm

Bat-Panda !!!!

CrematedPumpkin · **Reply #26 on:** September 23, 2005, 11:02:45 pm

Ohh, batman. Very nice, although I think there might be too much glow on the back leg and around the groin.

MadMonkey · **Reply #27 on:** September 24, 2005, 02:13:37 am

wow these are awsome. simple and effective, just what i like

thanks for making a link one!

Naso · **Reply #28 on:** September 28, 2005, 08:49:33 pm

Make sakura from naruto!!!!!!!!

FaeryShivers · **Reply #29 on:** September 28, 2005, 09:18:24 pm

Hello Hello! Very cute pandas.
The only thing that makes the pandas look
odd to me is that everything is round looking..but the feet are very angular.
I think its fine for the most part but you may want to round out the feet
even if only a very small amount. On the pieces where its wearing boots,
its not as obvious as they round it out on their own. Its just on the ones
with bare feet.

Hope that makes sense ^^

(Edit: The groin area also looks a little too "sharp" as well, especially
on pieces with no clothing or tight clothing.)

Larwick · **Reply #32 on:** April 29, 2006, 12:42:27 am

I'm loving these, and they do look very doll-like with the contrasting and style. I especially like the Captain Hook and Harry Potter ones, in the way that they're made (I think i especially like the CH one because of the desaturated shadow to the side).

As an idea, why dont you do an outfit like the non-pixel image in the link in your first post?

trauma · **Reply #33 on:** April 29, 2006, 10:15:02 am

Thanks for the comments, Larwick

There isn't. Posting in old threads is not advised only if it's not adding much to it.
What you are posting is awesome (love the Dracula and the Elvis), so please continue if you wish

I'm pretty sure we do, man.

Keep 'em coming, Trauma. Just don't revive an old topic with "This is nice." This isn't like that so no worries.

michi · **Reply #40 on:** May 24, 2006, 04:06:02 pm

omg these are so cool.
Well done you guys!

No there isn't a deadline or anything. You are free to use the template to make whatever you wish and whenever you want. Have fun with it

sonic_reaper · **Reply #41 on:** May 25, 2006, 09:41:09 pm

Wow mine sucks so bad compared to the masterpieces up thread. Should've probably added some guns but the position of the arms is weird.

dyuaru · **Reply #42 on:** May 25, 2006, 11:46:22 pm

Haha these are quite unique and interesting.
I like the simpleness of the sprite, so it is easily customized and changed to be whatever you need it to be.
So many different things you can make with just one panda doll, awesome
