Umm, I'm trying to draw pixel art gold coins (stacks and heaps of gold coins), but nothing good comes out.

Gold coins, how do they work.

I'm trying to find stacks/heaps of gold coins on OpenGameArt, but can't find any.
Do you have anything you can share for public domain, CC-SA or CC-BY?
Or, perhaps, have any tips for drawing gold coins?

[ANtY]

that's my attempt at gold coins



ah sorry, didn't read the part about stacks of them, dum

[Happy Shabby Games]

coin i made for a game of mine. the idea is to have the face frame be the brightest so it catches the player's eye

[JOBA]

Cool coins... for a platformer!

But would you bust your balls diving into a dungeon filled with skulls, spikes and hellspawn that rip off your limbs the second they lay your eyes on you just... for a few coin?

I need some serious bling there, some real shinny heaps of crunchy golden treasure. Treasure so shiny that 4 creepy dudes would dive into the depths of hell to acquire em'.
It is probably the most important art asset in the game.

Basically I need draw a stack of gold for the gold counter (currently looks like three yellow squares ) and heap of gold that could be placed around the dungeon (probably in several sizes for different amounts).

Full size

figure it out yourself; don't sucker other people into making your assets for you

just google stacks of gold and pixel any of them that look good

we offer crits, not free work :I

Yeah, there's no easy way out with this.
Gotta google some good reference images and attack the problem head on.

EDIT:

Pancakes!
Working on this game is so much fun

Look up the wario land 4 arts for some fun, exciting money. That game was centred around maxing your loot, because of wario being a greedy bastard.
Making coins shiny, spinning, and using lots of them helps keep the ADD kids focussed, and having multiple denominations of $$$ can help with making high loot areas not require like 50x50 spaces

If it's gotta scale well you might want to get a preview set up with the image at various scales so you can see how it'll work in-game (assuming you dont have runtime asset reloading in your engine).

You may also want to consider chests that open and spew their shiny contents all around for a little more omph.

(Skip to ~3min in this for gameplay)

Note the bouncing coins from killing enemies or opening chests or smashing shit are much more exciting than lame static coins

[Brother Android]

making high loot areas not require like 50x50 spaces

If you're suggesting that gigantic rooms full of loot is a bad idea, I'd like to respectfully disagree.

[Geti]

Oh I'm not, just that a single value of loot item is a bad idea as you require linear area to increase the value of a room, instead of just dropping higher value stuff in there and having some variety

[aberrantmind]

An Aakocra. trying to teach myself pixel art

[ANtY]

what's up with the noise?

[clockwrk_routine]

but don't have time to animate it
