Cool, but some have distinct noses or mouths and others don't, and the inconsistency bugs me.

Also try and cut down to 8 or less colors and see what you come up with.

i was in the mood of some visual novel-y kind of sprites for a game i may or may not make and was planning to make like 10 at least to get me motivated but i eventually lost interest lol.

eye raaaaaaaaaaaapeeeee

(like the sprites, though)

Oh my god, those are gorgeous.

Also your signature is giving me seizures

oopsssssssssss gray background was probably a bad idea yeah. i may change that. someday when i make more  .

They aren't exactly 8 colors but I posterized them and then replaced a lot of their colors with different colors and edited their faces to be similar. The girls with sweaters were pretty hard to do in pixel art. I'm happy with the regular black schoolgirl uniforms though.

[keramago]

that actually looks v. nice asides from the leftover pixels spread all over that look out of place, but those can be fixed pretty easily!! the shapes are good lookin and the overall low-res representations of their bigger, more detailed counterparts are actually pretty faithful and look spiffy. might wanna tinker around a little more with the color palette to make the colors mix better

Just finished final exams this week so maybe now i can finally start posting here.

Anyway, been working on these guys for a while. Still wip. Colours could use work but i'm too lazy to fix them right now.




Edit: working on some clouds

[JoGribbs]

Clouds are hard. Those are good clouds. I think I want to connect these two thoughts together in order to compliment you but I'm very tired so I will instead make a sound akin to a small woodland animal: EEEEEEeeeee.

[squidkid]

Thanks for the advice guys. I took out a bunch of colors I thought were unnecessary and edited some colors to contrast or blend better.

These are cool. I usually think lines in pixel art look strange, but it works really well in these.

Edit: changed picture

It's probably because both me and keramago lack the drive to do anything spectacular when we come up with game ideas. This is like our 1000th failed project. It's because we're indie obviously

Awwww, she's a cutie (left).  I love these.  I think adding a few colors here and there could be a cool look.


 

I'm working on an underwater explosion right now.  I haven't done animated effects very much - I think the yellow part lasts too long?

hahahaaaaaaaa that's an interesting thought! tbh i originally intended every character to have a different color centric scheme (i.e. one character would only be shades of blue, and another only shades of red) but that fell through because i'm lazy and thought everyone being in the same color scheme would look nice and minimalistic, but i started having my doubts when thinking how well it might blend in with bgs (which i also planned to have a slightly similar scheme to match the mood), so in a sea of doubt i got tired and stopped.

looking at the different colors i think the ones you used at a little too clashy considering the original colors i used but it actually looks like a lot of fun and could probably make something interesting if maybe i actually worked with that hooo

ps. you have no idea how many different versions of the same girl i had to make before i was finally happy with it but every time i made a new character i looked back on it and felt it was off and it was and it went through like 5 different edits, some pretty drastic before i settled with this one. i blame my inability to properly sprite messy frontal hair.

anyways...

not sure about the yellow part but being underwater i would expect it to be less yellow and more noise and bubbles, sorta like this. just a thought, since it's not like i'm some sort of expert on things exploding underwater (me never having seen an underwater explosion in person before) but that's just what i'd think an underwater explosion would be like from what i know and what i know is mostly underwater explosions in megaman x which are just like regular explosions only they turn into bubbles soon enough.

Throw in a luchador or something if you have to, those look GREAT!

@squidkid

Those are looking a lot better already! One quick thing I did notice is the girl on the left has her face kind of shadowed out and it looks a little odd.

I just changed the picture in my last post.
