Holy shit Rakugaki-Otoko that angel of death pixel portrait is so awesome, old-school :s takes me back to my childhood! Thumbs up!

[Code_Assassin]

I'm getting back into pixels!

these animations look really good. Simple but smooth.

So... I'm in a bit of a pickle;

I've been told that preportions of the hips and chest are weird, compounded by the shading, as well as that i have been told i should check and use some references.

I've tried to deal with the chest first before i go onto the hips





The reference i'm trying to use is this one below (the first chest)

I've tried to replicate shading and markings on the chest, but i've hit a point where i just feel like it detracts from it and looks worse off. I feel like the answer is obvious but for the life of me it eludes my mind.

EDIT: I reworked it a bit and switched to a better host (old version with bad colours and kind of stumpy http://i.imgur.com/bqiJCSt)

Here is my first work. The big-head dude is speaking a real language that I am making. Gonna use it (language) for an up coming project. (If any of you want to guess, feel free.)

This is my second pixel art thingy. His name is Joe, and he is a pirate with a claw for a hand. What do you peeps think?

Oh hey, that's pretty cool for the size and being your second piece. Nice work.

@John - Nice sprite-work, though the girl's hair doesn't quite sense to me in the hi-fi version. Is it slicked back? Is there a spike at the front?

@Oleksii Slipets - Nice knight. His leg armor doesn't really make sense, though; it's like he's wearing stockings instead of actual armor.

@caiys - Wow, that looks pretty slick, indeed.

[ANtY]

total cool!

[eigenbom]

epic stuff on this page, caiys - that's sweet, oleksii - nice animation!

here's something I just made:

Jeez, you have killer colors! Looks great!



I just ditched my paper airplane clone idea
This is for my game (that will hopefully get finished) called "For the King!". A simple rogue-like with awesome stuff in it.



Not the final art, just rough stuff.

I think you're overshading. You could do the jumpsuit with 3 colours, any more is going to end up banding. I don't recommend working on black or white backgrounds, either : pick a desaturated colour, not too dark or light.
This is my stab at editing your sprite:

I tried to keep things simple, and the pixel clusters small. Changed the pose into a contraposto, but I haven't shaded.
Don't be afraid of refining the shape of the body: defining the articulations will help you give an impression of structure to the body. I gave a lot more hard edges to break the softness/curviness of the sprite, so that you can feel the passage from one limb to another.

I hope it helps!

Edit: mh. A lot of things to talk about. Coming back to the pose, I tried to center one leg, which supports the weight of the body:

Thanks for the edits!

I've decided to go down a size and stop making them at that size until i have a greater understanding of anatomy.

Here's my first attempt (note all pictures are blown up X2 for ease of viewing) :



And here's a further edit with some more examples of the characters.

Tried:

    Making the shoulders more visable
    Making the chest more visable
    Showed collarbone.
    Made arms more accurate in terms of length, especially with hand placement.

[Miko Galvez]

They are definitely better now but now you need to emphasize on their shoulders
