 A bunch of the critters I drew over the holidays. I'm getting a feel for body layouts that look plausible and that makes for nicely polished sprites.

Really dig those designs, you managed to avoid all the normal cliche sci-fi crap and make some pretty awesome and interesting looking things. I like how the big one and those two blue guys look related. My favorite is that weird slug monster. 10/10 would shoot in a dark hallway.

Thanks. I've been trying to get imaginative designs worked out. A major source of inspiration recently has been the work Brandon Graham and Simon Roy have done on the rebooted comic Prophet. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for some amazing stories and illustrations.

Here's a boss animation from a game I've been working on for a while.

Is that animated through code? The electricity and jelly wobble I mean.

Scut posted:Is that animated through code? The electricity and jelly wobble I mean. Electricity is by hand. I didn't use code for the wobble either, but there's a trick to doing that: http://pixosprout.tumblr.com/post/54334374870/a-short-guide-on-how-i-did-the-water-effect-for Mine is a large-scale use of that effect. It could have been smoother if I didn't have to squeeze the effect into 12 frames, but I didn't want to use up too much atlas space. If you want something both big and smoothly flowing yet don't have a lot of resource space I'd recommend doing it in code if you know how. Actually, if anyone knows how to do that effect to a static piece of art in Unity I'd like to know the secret!

I was asked to do a title screen for a Western game in the style of the Wolfenstein 3D title screen. Here are some progress shots:    I may still do some more detail work on it, but I'm burned out for tonight. edit: for comparison:

Nice! I love the rock's palette. Hang on there a second I have to back up the pixel dump truck:            I'm having fun with my newer base.

I really like the style of your initial sketch Internet Janitor; somebody's got art skills! The pixel work is fantastic too, the style and expression carries over from the sketch even though it has to be simplified a little. Perspective and lighting are spot on. The wolf3d reference is pretty sweet. I know what game this is for.

Nice! Just throw a cast shadow off the characters and you are good to go! Shoehead, your characters are getting more natural poses. Looking good.

Hey dudes. I'm looking to hire (or work with) a pixel artist to do some fighting game style backgrounds for my game. Does anyone have any portfolios or know of anyone who has some relevant work I can have a look at? This is what the game looks like currently. Edit: This came up in the Making Games thread but I'm probably gonna get someone to redo the sprites as well, but I'm primarily looking for someone who can do shithot backgrounds.

Thanks for the kind words, folks! More pixels. This time I was asked to redraw the HUD player portrait. Original:  New:  And the full Doomguy treatment:

I did kinda like the earlier simplistic style, but everything else in the game is getting more detailed and polished and it just started to look out of place. While I'm posting, here are two earlier revisions of the gunslinger girl's sprites! The first revision and its doomguy treatment:  A "T-pose" which was meant to be adapted into a 3d model at one point:

Something I did last night as some fluff for a forums game. Think it turned out very well, although I've never had the discipline to spend the extra hours cleaning up every pixel.  Click it for the big viewinz Cheap Shot fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Jan 20, 2014 |

Great style, doesn't need cleaning up at all. There's a term for this sort of non anti-aliased drawing in paint programs with small palettes that is escaping me now. The japanese seem to do it a lot.

Hi thread! I haven't done any pixel art in a long while but checking out this thread inspired me to bust out a quick little dragon dude in graphicsgale: actual size:  300%:  Trying to stick with a limited color palette.. it's a WIP that I don't know that I'll actually finish. Any advice is welcome!

Looks neat! The dithering clashes with the scale texture you've added, so instead of using a basic checkerboard dithering make it more irregular and similar to the scales, like that your shading adds to the scale texture you're developing. The contrast in the purple is skewed, the two lighter colors are very close and the dark color is really dark in comparison, you should darken the middle shade.

Oooh, I like pixel art. I do a lot of 8-colour PC88 style artwork: A quick little title-style GIF  Cityscape  High resolution character art of a girl selling bellybutton candies  Animated sprite from one of my PC-8801/9801 tribute games  The girl with the sword in her natual habitat: a game

Ah yeah I started doing the scales after I had done the dithered shading, mean to fix that if I go back and do more.. thanks for the advice

Got in a mood to draw some surreal stuff and a tileset after playing Yume Nikki. I feel like I definitely could have pushed the shading a lot more on the inner ear bits, but they were kinda a clusterfuck. They're not even anatomically correct, so whatever.  The art that everyone has been posting is loving awesome, keep up the good work guys. Maybe one day I can get to you guys' level

I've been following your game and I think you made the right decision. I've never played Mega Man Battle Network, and this kind of frantic action that you've illustrated looks like a lot of fun. I think I wouldn't have the patience for a turn-based strategy game, especially on mobile.
