At the risk of double posting, this guy from the Pixel Wars thread is my first public pixel art, and I'd dig some creative crits.

Count Valentine de Wallington the Fourth

I really don't know what it is, but I'll find it out. Soon.

looks like a pimp. what the yellow dot on his face? id say his head needs the most work, though im not sure how much detail you'll be able to get into it. its a nice gentleman, but doesnt look like much of a tribal warrior.

[FARTRON]

That would be a missed pixel from a recoloring. 

Yeah, I tried to stretch his backstory to make it kind of fit a tribal fight in a weird way (fourth wall breaking magic or something) but mainly I'd gone with a gentleman because I thought that a three-piece suit would be something I could represent in pixels somewhat competently. I'm proudest of the bowler.

I've gained a little confidence since it turned out better than I'd expected, so I may rework to fit the setting.

[michael]

youve definitely nailed the chic gentleman. and i forgot to mention that his shoes are ace. there will be more pixel wars in the future, and im sure there will be a gentleman theme eventually. but if you cant get a good tribal piece, i for one think you did a very good job tying your character into the story.

[Kekskiller]

OOOOOOOOOOPS. this can be deleted.

[increpare]

I preferred it the first time

[michael]

i might like it more a third time

Do you know how awesome this is?

It is awesome.

Do you know why?

I'm not sure. Parts of the awesome are because of the plastic look. Pixel art? Plastic look? What? What? What? WhAt? Wow.

Hello!
i am new to this forum but thought it would be the right place to show the people some of my game art.

I am creating an abstract, non scrolling manic shmup with game maker and will have a one-level-demo soon.

here are some graphics.
rough mockup. the backgroudn is as said non scrolling and will always look like an abstarct drawing of mine.
the playership:


those do not 100% fit the rest of the style but they are for a special "secret" level like this one in dodonpachi with the bee boss

Ahah, those are awesome.
I look forward to your game!

And I took the advice about my sprite, and threw together some colour schemes.
