[WIP - S.S. Sprite]

*critic*

bad anatomy..
weird pose..
bad palette..

and since it's a SIDEview sprite, you should try a little more like this:

sorry for the bad review, but I hope instead of giving up you get better.

the new hair tutorial

[Caricatures]

That's some cool stuff you have there. They resemble the pictures quite well.

@Smallbro:

> it looks like that but i actually only used the eyedropper for colour and put it on my own work..

well.. don't!
why would you?the colors are horrid?
besides it's not that hard to pick your own..

I finished a quick door for you:

I hope this helps.

ps: the lightsource is almost topdown in most rpgs.

[My terrible Graphics]

it looks like you are just ripping enterbrains rmxp resources and rescale it. *hence the blurr*

[Bird animated GFX]

actually this one looks much better compared to the tiny birds enterbrain did. And I think it'll fit in just nice with the rmxp tiles.


But if I was nitpicking.. and I am haha ^^
I'de suggest a darker outline. I also suggest adding an extra color to the palette since it'll smooth the shades.


I would like to see more ^^

lol.. No man I just thought I'd trow it in.. gameplay > graphics anyway

it's .png because jpeg is low quality. NEVER EVER save pixelart as jpg :)
If you are serious at becoming better at pixelart I suggest you read it though, if not good luck.

ps. use a one pixel "penciltool"

[My terrible Graphics]

So, let's see where we went wrong..

There are different kinds of ways to approach pixelart, you can either decide to block it out or use outlines.
You seem to have mixed those two, which resulted in blocked outlines. These two don't match well so I suggest starting with an outline "which is the easiest way for beginning pixelartists".

ps: paint is an excellent tool :) especially for lineart. When you're coloring pixelart I prefer graphicsgale or paint.net since they have extra layers.

you should take some time to read these. I hope they'll help you :)

[Lets make a tileset!]

These tiles look pretty horrid. they're all missing essential shades and lighting. sorry to have burst your bubble.

[Green Raven's tutorials]

I see you took the liberty of posting my tutorials over here. Well I don't mind as long as credit is given. You can post the others as well if you like, I will be finishing my icon tutorial in the meanwhile.


[Simple GFX tutorials [updated]]

actually I do my sprites as following:


1: sketch and concept work.
2: create palette and place the basic colors.
3: determine lightsource and clean the lineart.
4: create first shades and highlights.
5: create darker shades.
6: create brighter highlights.
7: create details and sellout.
