I'd strongly suggest choosing a more neutral background color for when you're working. It's pretty much the basic for finding a good color balance by eye. I'm sure the pink shade would look differently if you hadn't been working on a full-intensity BG.

Also, think of your eyes. If you go on staring at super-saturated blue like this, then in a few years the whole world will look like your avatar to you, color-wise.  

EDIT: And let's add some fresh art for good measure!

Those colors are delicious.

[TNERB]

i'll spare you all the details for now, but — it's a game. it's going strong.

This is epic!

[intmain]

Some npc character designs I vomited out yesterday.

[caffeine]

The second one actually looks like shit instead of vomit.

[Delicious]

The spider one is intense.

[rek]

The spider form of Double Fine?



The thick outlines really work here. Not sure how those colours would hold up on a different background though.

If I was wearing a monocle, I am quite certain I would have dropped it in awe upon seeing this artwork.

Amazing stuff, I love this thread.

This is for a little game I'm making, and I would really like any critique you can give me. I meant for it to look like a crude retro game, which is why I picked the CGA palette. I think the items just look kind of ugly and incoherent. But I want to stick to this resolution, so I'm not sure what to try.

First I read it as "If -IT- was wearing a monocle" Man, that would've been awesome!

It is a great piece indeed! I'm specially impressed by the stripes on the tiger. They suggest so much
shape and adds to the sense of motion at the same time.

What kind of nose is that for a tiger?

When I'm bored these days, I try to sprite something. It's working and I'm getting better, but I still have a long way to go. I'm very new at it, and I'm learning a lot just by trying it out! It's getting to be more and more fun as I go, too! 

Anyway, here's some good things I've made in the last few days:

sad guy with sadder heart:


floating face, crying (it was a sad week, okay?):


and an ANIMATION! 


Anyway, I know most of you guys can do far better than this, but these are my first "real" attempts at spriting and I would love some feedback and advice. I've found I can only draw small sprites right now; if I go too big, it turns into ugly blobby messy junk. I don't know if this is a common problem or if there is a recommended solution. Any advice in this department would be very appreciated.

The biggest size I think I can go at this point is the floating head's size, and even that has its flaws. I think my lack of skill comes out more in that sprite, but it's still good enough to post.

I understand these things take practice, and I've gotten far better with just the little bit of practice I've had.

[PiJoKra]

No, I have that to (beginning spriter to ), animation is the best of the three, really nice

[H1RN]

this is bob, our character from the GGJ

[Gauss Jordan]

Cute little animated scene.

[ANtY]

Add some falling leaves and flying butterflies, would be lively & lovly 

[Veo]

Playing around with some other styles.



I know there are quite a bit of things wrong with it still but, I think I'm done with it

[brettchalupa]

Here is a sprite from something I am working on (the outline and color):


Due to the way I've scaled the graphics in the game, I've had to resprite the character to a much smaller resolution.

it's been a slow week at the pixel factory.
