Scut posted:Did you draw these manually or is this like a unicode thing? I love it! I wish something like this was a standard in apps like pyxel edit. Manually. It was half anti-aliasing exploration and half arty disintegration of type. I cheated a whole bunch by flipping tiles too  Xibanya posted:Holy crap that looks AMAZING! What you did really made the sprite pop, I will definitely try to apply what you've said going forward. Ooo now looking up tutorials on color ramps. I'm so glad you were able to put into words why the sprites just seemed kinda blah. I will now go and un-blah them! As I said, it's all stuff that literally everybody does when starting out. Check out these links if you haven't already (second one's more theory-based), pay special attention to anything that mentions "clusters", which are imo the most important things in creating solid pixel art.

Exclamation Marx posted:fun with dither patterns That is a big improvement, but you lost some of the brightness of the skirt. I thought the bright yellow really popped in a good way. I think it should be possible to have this cake and eat it too. e: phone posting, so my s3 display may be munging the colors, too. dobbymoodge fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Jul 10, 2015 |

I applied what was said about colors to this character select portrait of one of the other characters: I know Exclamation Marx said no dithering but this image won't ever be animated and I wanted to make his beard more...beardy?

Unless this character is a zombie, I really recommend you at least reconsider the base skin color.

Unless this character is a zombie, I really recommend you at least reconsider the base skin color. part of it is that his outfit (on the in-match sprite, which shows the full body) has red stuff but that doesn't show up in the character portrait, so when I was trying to constrain the color palette the red ramps led to the skin color you see here. Should I use a different scheme for the character select portrait?

Might be just me but I feel like dithering is going to always feel noisy if it's only applied to one element of an image while the rest is shaded w another method.

I can hear the appropriate sound effect in my head when I see it. That's a kind of effect where I wouldn't be surprised to see a bunch of palette-shifted variants for different buffs in the game. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Jul 20, 2015 |

Trying to make something something.. it's pretty barren still and the lines all over the place are temporary until I figure out something to do with it.

You're doing a great job of making a couple pixels do the talking. And the burned-out A is great! did the whole thing for 32x32 characters instead of 48x48 as before so that sucks >_<  Also, it's for PC. The size is due to the map being like that later. The title screen will be in the sky and the view will scroll down to the ground level when starting a new game. edit Walking and idle testing.

I think so, how do you feel about it? The torso bob seems to be coming one frame too soon. Imagine that the shock of the foot planting on the ground takes a moment to transfer up to the torso, so it will 'lag' a bit. Of course I'm assuming this thing is large and very heavy. Perhaps it is not intended to be.

hmm.. it's meant to be fairly big if I were to consider scale, but it's mostly in space settings. The problem is the thing needs to be able to move into position fast, so I don't want to tie it's movement up too much with the foot plant. To really get the effect across better, I'd have to add another frame I think? I can try that and see if it'll work. E: wow okay i guess I was worried over nothing. the extra frame really helps and it doesn't hold anything back.

Imagine that the shock of the foot planting on the ground takes a moment to transfer up to the torso, so it will 'lag' a bit. Of course I'm assuming this thing is large and very heavy. Perhaps it is not intended to be. I actually have exactly the opposite impression: it needs to be a frame earlier. The torso bob isn't shock traveling up, it's the front leg landing on the ground and then the torso correcting for the difference in height. (If it were shock traveling up, the torso bob would be upward, not downward.) Coordinate the torso bob with the foot landing, and it'll look right to me.

Imaginary Friend posted:Cheers for the feedback. How's this? Went for a more contemporary approach on the gas station since that's when the theme is set for it. Also realized I Ampersands aren't shaped like an 8 with a dash like you've done. Which is why it doesn't read as an ampersand at first and confuses the brain into interpreting it as a B.
