Hello! I've never really thought of myself as a visual artist. But I've been really inspired by a lot of SolS' work, as well as the really vibrant 8x8 pixel art that's come out of the recent popularity of Pico-8 and Bitsy as tools, so I started experimenting a lot with this aesthetic that I've always loved but never really felt confident enough to fully embrace as an art style worth polishing/developing.

Hope gifs are OK in this thread - mostly I think it's necessary to get across a little sense of life.

^ Heyy I remember trying this (or something like it) on my phone in Montreal once! The 3d isometric tiling is great

Oh hello!

[SolS]

Hey droqen! Just wanted to say thanks for the mention and that the game is looking really nice, Glad to see you made a devlog as well!

Hello   don't normally share anything but thought I would like to improve myself and my artwork

Would love some feedback on this animation of a wave I'm doing for a side project game I'm doing.
Anyone experienced in animation pixel artwork, I would love to hear from you lot with any tips to improve.
(Only base colour at the moment, working on the motion of the wave).



Thank-you in advance,

Alex

Hey Alex, one thing I would like to point out is the motion of the wave looks a bit weird to me because the surface of the water is reacting to the wave hitting it before the wave hits it:

lol but i'm droqen

[SolS]

lol np!

Yeah I've got new stuff I'd love to post to twitter but I've been locked out of my account for the last few days. Lost a few followers in the last days too, shouldn't be much of a problem assuming I get it back soon but at the current rate it's hard to say if or when I will.

really like this artstyle, strangely but I really do

[SolS]

Thanks! Here's one of the color variations I made today that ended up looking so much like the final stage in Super Mario 64.

that's cool, the previous one you did, to me it looks a bit abstract and I feel like I'm in a snowy valley trying to find my way somewhere.

I've never seen anything like this in terms of art style, its eye-pleasing

damn you recognize my game about cute characters based on a completely differently shaped tileset of a different color with no characters, my brand is strong

[Sarah Boeving]

Just did an icicle fx for REM Cycles. There's something fun about pixel fx :'D

[Tobers]

I dig your UI SolS. nice filigree.

Thanks, the game overall is inspired by Super Hydlide/ Hydlide 3 when it comes to the art style.

Also thanks Tobers!

zikbakguru very very nice! It reminds me of someone who used to be on here, I'm not sure if they're still active or not, but their name was im9today.

Sorry to be slightly offtopic, but if anyone knows where this dude (im9today) went off to I'd love to get back in touch with him.  We worked on a ton of projects back in the day.

He doesn't have an account here but he's still around. I'll pm you

Hello! first time on the forums so I thought I post some art. Any criticisms would really appreciated. Hopefully this image works.
