I thought it would be cool to have a topic to post your current pixel work, Ill start it off this is an animation im working on.  only the color is blocked in so far with a bit of shading and alot of the lines are still sketchy but im just trying to get the form of the animation right. Any crits.  It would be great to see what you guys are working on so post away.

[Xion]

Is he dancing or walking? If he's walking you might want to make his legs bo back a bit more, but if he's dancing it looks great. Like this bigass dude who's reluctant to get jiggy wit' it so he just does that. :D

I'm working on a mockup:

This is the gameplan:


It'll prob'ly never get made, due to me not having the patience to do graphics for an entire game, much less one of this scale. Still a cool idea, I thought.

I don't consider myself a pixel artist, but a generalist. I can do a little pixel art, but it's never been my focus, and I prefer to work with people who are focused as artists and have them do the art in my games rather than create the graphics myself. But here's what I've done.

Puttin' along...gotta make some enemies and a HUD still...

[Nate Kling]

actually he was supposed to be walking but sort of a lumpy heavy walk, like his back is really heavy and his feet just slap down, ill try and fix that thanks for the crit Xion.  Your mock up looks awesome i would love to play a game like that. I especially love the enemy graphics.

[Inane]

Mrar! Most recent picture (I think):

Also, Adam, that mockups gotten a lot better since the last time I saw it .

[Alex May]

I don't do a lot but everything that I've done recently is on my gge page below. At the moment it's a placeholder tileset and a jumping miner guy. I'm spreading myself over graphics, gameplay and tools all in my spare time at the moment so progress is pretty slow.

[Evil-Ville]

Might as well post this here too. Still a WIP and I haven't worked on it for a while.

[axel]

Woo yay Moomin!

That looks great, Evil-Ville.

[Nate Kling]

wow that has incredible detail Evil-Ville.  You can see all the cracks and stuff in his nose and teeth its looking good.

I posted this in other forums, but the only game related pixel art I made was for the old grayscale Palm Pilot. The game was abandoned by its original author before my graphics were put in, unfortunately.



But damn, I want to do more stuff, since this is years and years old... but I simply have no time!

I've decided to start making an effort to get good at animating my characters. That's probably where I fall down hardest. So I created a little skeleton guy for a template of a semi-remake (i.e. kinda like it but completely not) of the NES Kung Fu game, funnily enough titled, Kung Fu. So here's a guy punching and kicking and also doing a groovy walk:




It's the first time I've used more than 4 frames for a walking animation, I'm so proud of myself. Although I think it needs one more 

And for reference, here's the original animation attempt:


Clunky aye?

[Nate Kling]

thats lookin smooth jimbob i like it!

[Anthony Flack]

You'll find you get a much more natural walk if you make the left arm move in the opposite direction to the left leg. [edit] I mean the right arm and leg. Well, I mean both. The arms should move in step with the opposite leg.

That tunnelly game looks pretty sweet, Adamatomic.

[Jimbob]

Cheers Anthony, rewired it (and that's the fun of animating in 5 colours, it takes about 5 minutes to change it):



So it doesn't turn into a art improvement thread:
Some awesome mockups here, and if you don't make a game with those sprites Xion it will make me sad... I could watch that stabby-stab-stab animation for ages...
And Evil-Ville, that pic is immense already. It didn't load for me the first time so I didn't understand what people were looking at
