So I'm trying to be more creative in 2013, so here is an attempt at pixel art. I'm sure it contains several newbie mistakes.

My wife is making these to represent myself and my nerdy friends, each with its own nerdy aspect. She was hand drawing them, but saw my (sad) attempts at pixel art and tried it for herself. Didn't come out half bad I say







For comparison, this is my best effort so far

I'll pass it along (especially the jpeg thing, since that's so easy). Thanks!

I don't think I'm going to make the jam deadline, but here's some stuff I made for the GB jam. Heroes and a monster for a Final Fantasy-esque battle system.







A "hit" animation


Some kind of flame column spell


Oh no, the warrior has died!

I like this kind of small 16x16ish stuff a lot. :kiddo:

They're a bit stiff though. A lot of the nes final fantasy monsters had dramatic poses or looked like they were frozen in motion. (like the Imp)

Thanks. I've been trying to be more dynamic, it just gets cramped and also I am pretty bad/new at this stuff. I was trying to make a sneaky rogue today, but I can't get it to express right. Any tips on getting that WoW rogue crouch sneak?

Not too familiar with that animation. How about having him lean forward with his head lowered, something like this



That helped! Whats the source on that?

Also this shading looks quite flat (partly due to your palette) nothing appears to be in the foreground or background

I think this is better but the body feels flat to me. Also the arm could better but I don't know how

Variations on a theme!


I like the second column the best I think.
