I'll try not to swarm. But I will say this y'all: Ludum Dare is tomorrow! Grab Game Maker or Construct or Stencyl or anything and make a thing in 48 hours, you'll thank me later. Making art is fun, making games is loving AMAZING. I promise.

Chipp Zanuff posted:My stuff isn't good enough quality to be used in games. I'm just interested in pixel-art and happen to dabble in it. Attention people afraid their stuff isn't good enough for a "real" game. This is an example of pixel-art in my mobile game that garnered 30k downloads in little over a month as well as someone thinking the game is work 1k to buy off me. If you can do this or better, congrats you are ready for real games!  I've been practicing and getting a lot of guidance from others and here's where I am now with my pixel slinging skill. Progress!  Sagacity posted:Ha, awesome. Is this then the right thread to mention that I'm a programmer looking for a pixel artist to work on small/fun little games? This is me except I do profit share for my small/fun games which scares people away; however, I have a track record of Getting poo poo Done®. The only reason my developer art looks half decent is because I don't have a choice but learn. If anyone does the arts in the same style as Scut and Paul Veer (http://superpietepiet.tumblr.com/) and wants to talk, please dog pile on me.

Wow, didn't realize so many people here were busy with hell-driving and scissor-running  Btw, talking about Pietepiet: He lives in Utrecht, just like me. We actually have a great indie game scene here, with Ronimo, Vlambeer and a bunch of others. I probably should get myself invited to one of those Dutch Game Garden lunches, somehow.

Expanded CGA-esque palette! I'm thinking I need to add that revolting magenta or something like it for added authenticity.

Thanks! I'm really happy with how he's turning out so far. Hopefully I can have him running around in something soon. My background is lacking some depth at the moment. And I hate the colours but ill work it out! Edit: Fart

Starting to toy around with some UI mockups. Not even sure which direction I want to take this anymore, but I'm thinking a lite RPG that's based off of an action bar.

Chipp Zanuff posted:Another update, changed the chest of all characters, updated some characters, changed the plate armour, hopefully it looks like plate armour. Plate armor dude should have lines only at the joints where the plates fit together, I'd say. Maybe you could get away with a decorative thing on the breastplate though. It will read better as a metallic surface if you use higher-contrast values and more restricted highlights but it doesn't look bad now. By the way your stuff is absolutely good enough for games. Don't feel like you have to be super ultra proficient before you have something to offer. I mean they look like they're designed with a game in mind, so why not just make that game?

I guess it's more a case of that i don't personally feel that i am good enough to go the next step yet. Whilst they may be of good quality, im not sure if i could consistantly put out stuff like that on a deadline. You're right about the intent i designed them with; i was thinking of hypothetically making a tactical turn-based rpg with elements of Shining force and FF: Tactics and Tactics Advance (1&2). That was the whole impetus for making these to be honest. I've still got the smaller sprites, so i could maybe use them on the map and then use the bigger, more detailed one during battle scenes (like Shining force did).

Even more bloody Cybershark!  I finally got to mess about with GameMaker, so I remade this gif in it. The road was moving too fast for Gooncam, ooops!

Just a quick update: Finally finished those characters, may create more but for now they're done at least:    I also went back to one of my older works and re-did it, applying what i've learnt so far:  Original here for context:  Upped the contrast, reduced banding and colours that i didn't really need, tried to make it more faithful to the original artwork and decreased some of the AA since there was too much. Also started on another pokemon, Parasect:  It'll need to be edited some more, since i've spotted quite a few problems, but it shouldn't take too long.

Here's the result of my exhaustive attempt at making a 3-frame attack animation. I'm not sure about the animation itself, but I'm quite happy with the frames.  ][Edit] I know there's some artifacts with the transparency. I still need to do a polish pass.

Have you considered playing with animation smears? I find that even when you've only got two or three to frames it really helps sell the movement.

the chaos engine posted:Baldbeard I sincerely love the hell out of your whole style / vibe / atmosphere. Never stop. Haha thanks so much! Re: smears. I'll have to google it after work. Is that like a blurry frame between 2 frames? I just tried have the frames fade out of each other a little so it wasn't so chunky.

Your art is excellent! I think this is an interesting alternative to lots of laboured frames. Has a more storybook quality. I think the 'smears' that Onion Knight suggested are a good idea. Also the third frame feels much too far forward and rises up a bit too much. My eye loses track of the figure.

I think I'm going to stick to 3 frames max and just toy around with timing/effects to get the look I want. I added a "got hit" animation to my hero, and threw in a mob and place holder slash effect just for reference. I'm figuring my hero(s) will probably get a lot more love in the animation department than enemies. I will probably cheese enemy got hit animations by just having them flash white and/or scoot back.  Edit: I should be studying for an exam right now. I think that's why I'm so motivated to goof around with this stuff. Blacksmith rework:
