Did some pixel art for the first time in ages, trying to come up with a look for the game i'm messing about with at the moment (devlog).

Not entirely convinced I can pull off doing the art for this myself, but still interested in comments and crits.

Beeglebug, what I see I think you could definitely make it. I really like simplistic pixel stuff and yours looks really good.
Just put clothes for the character and you are set :D

These look frik'n amazing. the art style is incredible. Just on more reason 2D art is still not obsolete. Please don't worry about making it look better, just finish something for me to buy the heck out of it.

That looks ammmazing♪♪

One thing that bothers me is that scars alongside with shirt line make it look like he spilled pink goop all over him.
Also, no legs look weird on dude, palm and legs are one of the most important parts in human perception and out of proportion palms and feet always look weird even on stylised stuff.

Rad. Love how the bird looks like it's made of Jello. Really nice technique there.

Another pixel art comp today is running over on the twitter.

Thanks guys, really appreciate the feedback! Finally getting close to a look I'm happy with, and a test walk cycle is under construction.

Duly noted! His proportions are a hold-over from earlier, super simplified Adventure Time/Swords and Sworcery inspired designs. Now that it's gone in a more detailed/rendered direction, I can see how it looks a little goofy. I'll keep playing around with proportions to see if I can find a better balance between cartoony and realistic.

i really like that

First of all, I changed a few pixels in my character design. He looks more badass now, neat.

I also started working on attack animation. It's not polished yet, but I wonder what other people think of it:

guns from Mono

Rabbit: nice, tricky to tell them apart in some cases but I'm sure it'll be evident from what you're shooting :^)



Some trench run stuff, playing with palettes for each biome. This one is the "trenches" biome, intended to be hellish and dead-looking. We also have lush forests, bright deserts, etc (will get some shots of them once things have settled) - really helps get some character out of the 8 colour limit.

I also started working on attack animation. It's not polished yet, but I wonder what other people think of it:

He physically changes his proportions and shape a lot more than he should, unless you make it more "3D" by actually rotating his head in 3D space (for example, it just looks like the hat is moving around unnecessarily and strangely). Build anticipation and have follow through by changing the timings on the individual frames in the animation, and make him physically step into the attack.

@Rabbit - That's cool, but I think it's a bit too minimal. Maybe you could change the position of the guns to help differentiate them and make their silhouettes more distinct (i.e. a heavy chaingun could be lower, while a rocket launcher could be shoulder-mounted. A shotgun could be low at the side, a rifle higher, close to the face, and a pistol held out with an arm in front of him).

@Geti - 8 Colors? Wow, no way. Excellent work!

[Geti]

Might be a few more in that shot cause the HUD stuff isn't recoloured yet, trying to figure out how to do that without breaking a few things, haha

@Cellusious That's awesome. I couldn't resist and had to make this
