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.

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

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.

[Player Ʒ]

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.

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.

Haha that's rad stepsoversnails. That deserves a marquee.


edit: Here's something I did a month or so ago for fun

[Chrysanthemum]

red-bellied elk

[Franklins Ghost]

Neat coloring style, reminds me of some of the stuff Atnas does. I'd like to see a mockup with these types of colors.

A very rough try. Going for some Another World architecture

I get mad Heroes of the Lance vibes from this... which is a good thing... it was a state of the art looking game back in the day for the Atari ST/Amiga...

Yeah agree with eobet, definite Heroes of the Lance vibe to these. Loved that game back in the day and these are great.

[letsap]

Great stuff as always everybody.



Trying something different.
