It looks very flat, to be honest. I think this is maybe a good first pass, but you could push the shapes of the leaf bunches much more and make them feel much more voluminous if you had a 2nd go at it.

Chipp Zanuff posted:Thanks! I'm not sure if the following could be considered finished, at least by me: The poses are all pretty stiff, awkward, or goofy. None of them come across as really very active, powerful, or interesting. You need to be shooting video reference of yourself going through the sequences and using that to inform your animation. That would go a long way towards giving them some life and interest.

systran posted:Yeah good point, it would be the opposite then, either way it shouldn't be a static speed. If you want to get technical, arrows do accelerate, but extremely fast, reach a top speed within fractions if a second, and then gradually lose both velocity and altitude.

Generally yellow lines seperate traffic in opposing directions where white lines seperate traffic moving in the same direction Maybe it's a one-way street, punk! Ever thought about that?! HUH, PUNK?!

As an artist that is perhaps a few years ahead of you in general, I can report that that feeling never goes away. Whether that gives you encouraging perspective of cripples you is up to you, I guess.

Fridtjof Nansen posted:What an rear end in a top hat. Somehow I missed all your pixel contributions to the thread... I've actually learned some things from reading the discussions Chipp has been a part of. You on the other hand are an off-putting prick that makes me not want to come back to the thread. "Study anatomy" -- a lot easier said than done and at least Chipp is working to improve. I know when I get excited about art it's because of the potential for hours of boring model study! That other guy is a dick, but you're being reactionary and silly. The other guy also has a point, and you don't.

jbone posted:The stairs' perspective is totally off, I didn't even realize they were stairs until I saw you mentioned "stairs." When you look down at a set of stairs from above, the top one looks smallest and the bottom looks biggest. This is the exact opposite of the way perspective works.

5 minutes is good because that's long enough to start drawing and short enough that your mind wont go "EW NO gently caress DRAWING FOR AN HOUR LETS GO EAT SOMETHING INSTEAD". You'll probably end up drawing longer than that.

I mean, retro games of all genres had silly idles. They make jokes about it in modern shows like Gravity Falls. There's certainly room for other approaches, but I don't see much wrong with the above. Pixel art requires exaggerated motion, subtleties don't read well at tiny resolutions.

I want to say that it helped communicate that the game was still running and not frozen, but I'm pretty sure I'm just making that up. I think at the end of the day it just goes to "in video games, moving is better than static".

It's just pixel art applied as a texture on some simple 3D models. All pixel art techniques apply, especially lighting (that scene is unlit/fullbright and you'll be painting in a lot of your lighting) and color techniques. Take an object, model it as simple as possible (focus on simple silhouettes) and uv unwrap it and paint. Try to keep uv edges constrained to x/y grids so your straight lines won't be stepped. Later you'll get much more clever with UV layout with overlapping uvs and reusing swatches of texture and such, but that's later once you understand the style a bit better.
