I'm sort of bludging my way through the early steps of conceptualizing an isometric roguelike. I've got a bunch of stuff written down somewhere, but today I thought I'd try my hand at doing up a quick sprite for a simple human fighter. He has a longsword and a heavy kite shield, so all of the hard bits to draw are currently concealed. I dread doing the other seven angles   I'd love for my sprites to end up looking like this:   But that's about a million miles away from where I'm at now.

 Yeah after doing this one, I'll go back and redo the first since this looks much more dynamic. Though my first one I hadn't done anything beyond the outline, it's still weak compared to this. I need to work on the shield side shoulder and arm, make them more obvious and poo poo. Move the whole shoulder and arm down and toward the camera, maybe? I might try and shade this one once I've done that, to see how it comes across once all the lighting is in place. drat, I just noticed some out of place pixels in the forward foot and shield. edit: Fixed things. edit2: Coloured/shaded. Still a little flat  edit3: dark purple outlines y/n    edit the fourth: I re-posed and re-drew old baldilocks, I'm pretty happy with the new pose and added details. This pose is also a little simpler to draw than the first, so I'll try and animate an attack.

That's not pixel art, that's just pixelated

 New WIP. Does the desert camo come through properly? I've been staring at this for long enough that I think it's good, but another pair of eyes would help a lot. I'll be redoing the silly purple rifle once I settle on a real design to follow.

Another guy! Real guns! New Camo! edit: and a test firing animation done with the old sniper sprite:  edit: replaced sniper's dumbass shemagh (god those things are hard with such low resolution) with a reverse baseball cap.

I really like your piece, Scut! There seems to be a pixel missing from the lower left side of the computer on the vertical part of the base, but other than that I can't see any problems  I would have posted zoomed gifs but I can't seem to find an option in GraphicsGale to scale them up at all? And animating in Photoshop is such a pain in the balls. Here's a couple stills, firing and not:   It's still a little stilted and motionless for me, I wanted to move the legs to a new position for firing when he shrugs his shoulders but I haven't managed to get a pose that I like the look of with that. If I put him in a proper firing stance, his feet should be parallel and his whole body facing the target, but that ends up looking odd in a standalone animation like this. This seems to be the closest I can get. edit: new wip:

Yeah Reiley, I was just away for a few days in paradise. I've tried a few options before for the legs, and they all sucked, but now that I'm back maybe I'll have some fresh ideas and perspective on the issue. He's still incomplete to me too, so don't worry

Yeah I can definitely vouch for that. My drawing skills are middling at best. Give me a limited number of pixels to work with and I can trial-and-error my way to a passable sprite, but what I could do in 12 hours a better artist could put together in 2, and it would look better to boot.

Draw a cutaway into the walls? Like how The Sims has a cutaway mode.

Hey Shoehead, quoting one of your earlier sprites that I thought had a better pace/weight to the animation than your latest. Sometimes it's fun to look at your earlier work and pick out something you did well  That's nice work for sick-work though, I'm a phlegmy moaning cripple when I get sick.

I just want to congratulate Chip on his step in the right direction. Everyone is crap to begin with, so you'll be fine. Keep drawing!

Relax knowing that it IS a sunk cost fallacy. Practice done is never wasted, even if it was in a limited style or has limited application. If you're afraid of branching out into other things, try doing a dude in a different scale. Make him bigger, and force yourself to add the details and complexity required to make it look good.
