Cleaning up the tileset a bit.

Really digging the hard lighting. It looks scorching. Or sunset.

How do i do glass?
I'm currently drawing a domed building with an indoor park. After a rough sketch I'm at a draw (hurr) on how to draw the glass roof. It's currently just blended with a non-opague-alpha-channel, but that feels like a cheat somehow. Any clues?

Her pixel portrait is pretty similar to your sketches. Are you pixelating them, or do you just pay good attention to stay consistent?

These trees any better?

Yup. If you don't want them to pop too much, how do they look if you remove their outlines but keep their dithered shading?

Hello. I'm working on a video game. I don't have enough content to warrant a thread of my own, but some folks in another thread wanted to see my work so I thought I'd share it here.

I'm going for like a Genesis/256 color era vibe. I'm still learning about how to do color properly, for example I think the first image is a good enough drawing but something about the color makes it a little hard to see the sprites. Then again every pharmacy I've ever been in IRL has hurt my eyes and I wanted to capture that a bit.

It is an RPG about being a doctor and trying to defeat death itself in a world that has pretty much gone to poo poo. The fourth, fifth, and sixth images are gameplay, the others are from cutscenes.

What's your process there? Did you draw them with a pen and then "pixelized" them?

I'v given up on pixeling smoke animations for my game by hand.
I'm writing a small little tool now, one which runs some minimalistic particle physics and bakes the results.

While I'm not actually happy with the current result (it needs more variations in movement and colour), I'm kinda feeling like i'm on the right track.

[Edit]
I'm happier now

My medieval/early industrial-setting turned into uh, something else.

I'm not happy with the ground having harsh contrasts clashing with the buildings's smooth shadings.

Haven't found much time recently to code & draw, so I've just started a new project.
This time i'm using a palette from Lospec (very slightly modified Hept32 from Endesga). This seems to work better than my attempts without one.

I'm not happy with the hard material borders (the 'rock' area surrounded by 'soil'), but that's an issue for the distant future.

I did some stuff on a vintage Macintosh SE I restored earlier this year.

What's the resolution of those images?We had a ... Mac II, i think. And I remember it's display to be much rougher...

Unsure what I want to make yet for a first timer game. Can't decide on an engine or anything really.

This is a good little kitty.

So, uh... I am in need of doing a sideview of a wall climb animation.
I also found that while there are lots of references for walk animations, there's nearly none for a wall climb.

Does anybody have an advice or link for me?

[...]but are the silhouettes and clusters decent enough to at least make the limbs and body identifiable?

Yup.

With the exception of the neck and general shape of the "x" one, but that's already marked by you yourself.

I recently got an SE/30 restored a couple of months ago and decided to turn it into a pixel art machine (just basic lineart though since it can only do 1-bit black & white).

Completly missed this post since I've mistook it for th the _other_ Mac Pixelart-post on this page.
I must confess that I've got no idea what's going on here, even if it's looking cool?
It seems to be a dude and his weird embryonal ghost-yoshi pet.

I think the palette, a lightly modified version of hept32, does the heavy lifting of those vibes.

Edit: Well, will you look at that. Baldies hat a successor.
