Veo - Those characters look terrific! Even at that size, each one is really disinct and has a recognizable silhouette and key features. Nice work!

Ted Martens - Really cute character! He (She?) feels very gelatinous: What about adding a little squash when it lands, a little bit of the body compressing and expanding outwards for just a frame or two to help it feel more alive and soft? (unless you're capped in number of frames, of course! )

Strife - I like the eyebrows, but if they're not working for you, what about something else to add interest to the head, like ears or  mandibles... or even just darkening the shadow under the brow (slanted lines above the eyes) to make him look mean without needing the eyebrows? Either way, nice design!

Wow. I like the finished product, but I find the original crazy-colours sketchy version equally (if not more) amazing.

Walrus - Yeah I was limited to only 5 frames so I wasn't able to do a jiggle.

Thanks! Good to know that the eyebrows are fitting, at least. I'll have to think about it some more.

Some for kicks some for things yet to shed the light of day.

side effect of it being 4 am, fixed.

Probably my favorite piece I have done!

An edit Nate Kling did!
Very grateful for that!

I'm strongly considering redoing this character's head from the left one to the right one, but I don't know. My main concern is that the original head looks too similar to Dr. Robotnik/Eggman from the Sonic series.

You could achieve a similar effect with some sort of brow crest instead.

I like the eyebrows much more than the no-eyebrows. It reminds me more of a moth than robotnik, and brings some of the brown to the head in a manner that seems to mirror the arms and cape well. If you really think the resemblance is too strong I'd say change them to something else but don't get rid of them completely. They help balance out the design, imho.

[Rhubarb]

Oh man, I can only dream of growing eyebrows so magnificent.

It's funny cos I've done a fair bit of sketchy/ undeveloped art but just never posted it anywhere. Glad to know you liked that stage I guess.

Been listening to some Daft punk lately...

DanSharman - Nice character design. Nate's paintover (pixel-over?) really brought out a nice sense of dimensionality on him!

Mr-venusaur - Nice sprite. You got a lot out of very few pixels!

WillyWilson - I'm having a lot of trouble reading your pixel font. Is it "Aritsilence?" Maybe I have it right and it's just confusing because I don't know what that means.

Anyhow, thought I'd share some recent work of my own, some enemy animations from my game.
There's Leif the Thief:



and the Infjernal:



Yes, I know some people are going to disapprove of the second one because it's not "true" pixel art because I used a glow on him... but man, it looks nice against the game's dark background tiles! Still, it 95% qualifies as pixel art, right?
