@tie - depends on the material and what those lines are actually reflecting. here's a real metal box for reference - it looks nothing like ours

[standardcombo]

For example Flappy Bird's use of Nintendo IP (which was much more serious).

not that it's important but this wasn't actually a real thing as much as kotaku fishing for pageviews

I think you may have not seen an earlier version of Flappy or I misunderstand what you mean by 'not a real thing'. It was a direct Mario pipe down to the pixel. Its important because it illustrates the looseness of IP enforcement.

In the case of the cross, it would depend on the red cross filing against you for something in another industry, that might be considered public domain at this point (early 20th century). In the case of the Geneva thing the attorney general would have to file an injunction. I would never use an asset from another studio, but I think the attorney general has better things to do.

A study of one of Fool's great sprites.

This is great!

I'm new to pixel art and this is what I'm working on right now.

It's an enemy for a game I'm working on - the sketchy preview and the concept that I'm going to use.

Since I'm new to pixel art, I'd appreciate any candid feedback you can spare.

I like how he looks like he just gives up after the slash - fun body language

I think the back-foot should be lifted a pixel when it's dragged forward by the front-foot.

good animation but the shading (esp on the skull) makes it look flatter than it needs to

i'd also lay off on the black outline a bit

What program did you create these in?

It wasn't, unless there was an earlier version of the pipe than this?


Here's me putting some old art in the post so as to not derail too much!

Barn swallows are my favourite birds!  Dawnbringer's 16 colour palette.

[Thomas Finch]

The bird is awesome, but what I *really* love is the chain link fence.

[eigenbom]

V cool scut!

Purgatory: http://www.gfycat.com/MellowImmediateIvorybilledwoodpecker
Improved in many ways, this is Purgatory! The ground now has the flair clouds making it less static-feeling. I've made many adjustments to the randomized clouds and added the text above doors that lead to worlds. Lastly, I've added Limb Darkening to the game and a color filter that I can adjust easily. Oh, and I darkened the sky slightly to make the cloud doors not clash as much.

Loading Screen Animation:
This animation will be used in the game's loading screen!

Hey man, it looks like you started with a 16x16 image and scaled him up. (you have a lot of 2x2 pixel squares)
I suggest either sticking with a 16x or 32x resolution that way the hands won't feel out of place as much!

lmao that's great

@Thomas Finch everything about that GIF is just gorgeous !
but those clouds are what really caught me. most pixel clouds fall flat or look too shiny, these really capture that soft billowy look you'd expect
