Took another pass at the portraits and cleaned them up some. Plus I did a major rework on the girl and pig guy. I could definitely add some more AA and smooth things out, but I'm pretty happy where it's at now.

Started doing some art tests for my next game. I'm going with the "sketch, then trace" approach I've used before with larger work.   I'm using very flat, minimally shaded colors to produce a cartoony look which will also make it a bit easier to animate. Striking the right balance on detail and economy (so I can actually finish the whole project in a reasonable timeframe) is difficult and will take some practice, I think.

just finished detailing the butt cheeks/fat rolls our main walk cycle, woooo! note: the face changes expressions, so the animation on them had to be a little subdued ~8 days well spent

I just spent so long trying to make a blacksmith shop to put the smith in, and ended up saying "eff it!" and just put him in a little mini scene. Turns out I'm drat terrible at structuring some kind of environment. I really like doing simple portraits, icons, and characters -- but gawt-dang is doing bigger stuff a struggle.

I'd suggest trying to make the character stand out more from the scene by either adjusting the palette or even adding an outline if that will suit the aesthetic.

How do I make the edges of this sand terrain look more like sand dunes and less like squiggles? (ignore the water) The center tiles work pretty well, but the edges, not so much.

Scut posted:That's a ton of work, looks excellent! Thanks, yeah that's a good idea. I'm still trying to figure out how everything works. Seems like the "retro" looking pixel style has some major pros and cons. Great thing is I can generate content pretty quickly, but depending on the level of detail I want something to have, I obviously have to completely re-draw it since I can't just scale it up. Still wrapping my head around it.

No harm in applying! I think they've been flooded with applicants from the younger Starbound audience, so someone with stuff to show will probably stand out.

I might get something together. How did you present your work? I might whip up some crappy html gallery or something. Speaking of showing work. I caught up with a really old friend recently who's getting into game design. He's making a brawler that involves a granny fighting off waves of Gnomes, so I'm giving him a hand.    Then I got bored and did this  E: I messed with the punch a lot

I just sent an email saying I wanted to work on it and a link to my portfolio site. As far as i know they're looking for pixel artists that can also do a bit of animation. It's been announced that the next project is a pirate game so you could do something piratey themed perhaps. Kernel Monsoon fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Apr 4, 2014 |

Mind you, they're a big name so that would still be p decent probably? Also, their concept art looked painted, not pixel art, and I didn't read anywhere that they were looking for pixel artists specifically (though I might have missed it, I just glanced).

Honestly I think those areas you marked out look fine, they evoke a dune shape. If you added a third tone to the sand, in between the light and mid tones, you could fill those crescents with it to make them fade a bit to the human eye.

I've been following this thread for a while and I'd just like to say that some of the stuff you guys post is absolutely beautiful. Especially Scut's work. I recently had to pick up pixel art again for a game my small studio made. In hindsight, it would have been better if I posted these here before our game was finished to get feedback, but we were in such a rush I forgot. Here are a few backgrounds for it...      These were for a sequel to a previous game we made called "Icarus Proudbottom Teaches Typing". This sequel is an episodic mystery series called "World of Typing Weekly". If you're interested in trying these out, I'd start with our "Teaches Typing" game. Anyway, our next game won't be pixelated, but I'd still love to hear some feedback on these in case I have to go back to pixel art anytime soon. Looking back at these I realize I'm really a freaking idiot for never using a color pallet. It would have certainly helped.

mutata posted:Is this that spec work gig they posted about? You're getting paid, right? Yeah It's revenue share, and I do not have a problem with that. Concept art was just that, concept art. There's no solid idea of the look of the game yet, but likely to be pixel art. As for SS13 standalone, I've been working on it (for free and at personal expense) for a very long time and still don't have much to show for it. I'll revisit the art when there's more code behind it, which I don't have much control over.

Yep, all of the Icarus Proudbottom games were made by just me and another goon Polo-Rican. The first two ("Curse of the Chocolate Fountain" and "Teaches Typing") were both for SA Game Dev challenges. This stuff I posted above for "World of Typing Weekly" was just a little episodic murder mystery we did after Teaches Typing got a bit of press but we also did it because it ties in with our next game too well. Anyway, I'm honored you know about any of our Icarus Proudbottom games at all! Apple Jax fucked around with this message at 03:38 on Apr 6, 2014 |

Yo Scut get thee to the Making Games Megathread where all the best video games are being made all the time in order to not feel kinda dumb in the future. It's pretty cool to see someone post a prototype one day only to have it turn into something awesome over time.
