Iso Characters

on: August 08, 2008, 04:14:47 pm
Hi everyone ;D !
I was working on an angel character for a project I'm working on (I-angel), but my character was too far from the original design, but I was very proud of it so I worked on some equipement updates.



6 colors + trans.  ::)

No need to cite my inspiration, anyone knows it's Adarias  :)

I think I'll do demons, orcs, elves, zora thingies and others if I have some ideas.

Any crits appreciated  :D

Thanks =)

You seem to have a black border in everything but the feet, and that makes them look cut off.

Since that's the only place on the sprite that it's in contact with an exterior surface, I'd say the lack of black on the soles is fine.
The sprite looks great, perhaps some less muted colors?

shouldn't knock the palette being that it's basically like how i used to work, but i think an intermediate shade in the skin (some kinda salmon shade perhaps) would help soften him a bit and breath life back.  Also can help distance flesh from metal.

middle one is for sure my fav

and i agree about not having the black on the bottom it's a smart choice imo.

The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

which is one of the things that makes these yours :)

thanks for humoring me with the salmon though.  For what it's worth, I prefer the new ones, though i'd also raise the G value of the new entry about 10 points :P.

The third is with G value +10 and the last raw are some tests with the colors

I think I'll continue playing around with colors  :)

Doesn't change the color that much, can't even see the difference at 100% size.
After making some tests, I need selected my 2 favorites palettes.
I can't choose between those 2 color schemes

i vote for top.  bottom is too monochrome even with extra shade.

and since when is pixel art all about the 100%? :P
