I'm in the same boat (programmer, not quite artist), perhaps we can help each other out as we try to learn this pixel junk?

Thanks for the offer, but I don't have enough time right now. I have someone to do my art for me, you know

You're using several colors that are close to each other, the blades lack lighting, and the 90-degree angled bent bits of grass look a bit off, but it's not bad. Nice work so far.

That's some awesome feedback! I'll definitely remember this.

I'm jealous of your awesome pixel art abilities.

I think he's animating those in 3D and outputting low-res GIFs...

Mimicking natural body movement like that is just as hard in 3D.

I don't think it matters how you get the final image, as long as it looks good

Isn't that heretical in this thread? Every pixel has to be placed intentionally, etc etc.

pixel work is kind of an ambiguous title
I don't think there's a standard for pixel work unlike pixel art
to me anything that is low resolution, where pixels are part of the design should be here

i wonder if there were other threads like game art or animation, we'd see more work?

[Quade Zaban]

it's probably just rotoscoping, which in that case every pixel should be placed intentionally.

Well that's just fantastic.
Is that NES palette or does it just kinda look that way?

[ClayB]

nice kitty, jared



making this for the compo at gamejolt, unsure if i have the will to finish it

Lots of good pixels in here lately guys, great job
... I should really do more pixels.

I'm hoping for some feedback on this guy. I don't want any shading in his eye area, but as it is right now the pixels bordering the eyes are really jagged looking compared to the rest of his body. Trying to find a solution.

Cheers!

Hi everyone!
I'm new here, but I thought I would upload something I made a while ago. I usually call myself a programmer, but I would like to learn this art wizardry too.

*snuggle*
Art is hard, makes no sense.
I'm working on a party creation screen for a first person dungeon crawler thing and I need to draw ~20 character portraits. First 4 are in. Fourth one is drawn on a different day, and came out disproportionate to the other three. I also need to make faces a little bit more quirky and interesting.

Human faces, lights and shadows, how do they work.

looks legitimate, to solve your issue, you could find a color between the blue of the face and blue of the eyes to grace the upmost and lowermost diagonal pixels in the eye
