allaze-eroler's WIP -tweaking the sprite-

[allaze-eroler]

hello folks ! i'm new here and i actually working on my own game. the game that i'm builting, it will looks like "the cave story" but in the 90's year style. for moment, i'm working on one character called "goddess of earth" and it will reminds us the ant queen but it's more like a mammal creature with ant queen feature. well, there the wip.



enjoy ! :3

[allaze-eroler]

there some modification i addded on this character.



crits please :3

[allaze-eroler]

i forgot to explain what is my idea about this character :

the idea is to see that character as goddess who will give some power to the little girl (main character) and she will be big like some character from cave story or magical starsign for example. the design of her is not yet official because i'm trying some thing by watching art stuff from various game like twilight princess or odin sphere but this character will be more animal-like. which it was quite hard to do.
 
the main charact will be in 32 or 64 pixel size. so, the goddess i'm working on will be quite big.
 
any question ? :3

I'd suggest making it a lot smaller..

I'd go for 80x180 (they might not be perfect, i just thought of it) 80 being width btw..

Anyway, looks good i guess although not a lot to comment on.

Well, to answer to that you'd first have to tell us wether your game is top-down, sidescroller or what.

The first of your example is in a topdown game with a VERTICAL screen, so it makes sense that it sort of has it's own area.

The second one while in a sidescroller is clearly placed in the background, so he's not facing sideways like your character he's facing diagonally 3/4 towards the camera...which your character is NOT.

What is the design of the character's area? what is your resolution?

hum... you pointed this problem indeed. well, the game i'm trying to built is a scroller game like cave story, in fact it will be a platformer game.

i haven't yet have a complet design, i just working on this goddess character so, it's indeed the first character i did. the main character is in this pic that my buddy did a nice illustration :



the resolution of my game will be a 640x480 for pc, linux & mac.

I like the lines for her. Her arms look a little guarded though, like she is nervous or scared.

Aside from that, there is not a ton to critique, not until you get some more pixels down.

well, i recently got my buddy and she show me her little idea about my godess of earth. it came out interesting as goddess !

and sorry for this big picture that i can't put here as image ^^; : http://oekakiallaze.free.fr/projet/mail_tale/earthgoddess_concept1.png

so, i will completly redraw my sprite. but for now, i will go to bed.

hello there, i finally managed to find a good way to show the goddess of earth in the "screenshot" size so, there the new version :



the little square is the main character and you can see how big she is.
