Beanie93 Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 Hello! I'm, again, posting a topic relating graphics for my game. I'm attempting to draw the graphics all by myself, since I don't think I'll find a graphics artist soon, and I needed to start as soon as possible.I have attached a single sprite, I know it doesn't have shading, I just need support in the Line art before trying to add any detail.I will only accept Constructive Critism - Destructive Critism will be ignored.

Sealbreaker Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Why is he looking into the sky/camera?-seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 The hands and feet look a bit small compared to the torso and head, but I don't know what kind of look you're going for.It's a decent effort, but could be improved a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll draw the sprite again from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 What he means by 'Why is he looking into the sky/camera?' is that he is looking straight ahead.If you want it to look good in the game, you should make it more above view.So instead of it looking at you, the player, it looks as if it's looking at the map/ahead of itself.Hope you understand, hard to explain.

If he doesn't see it he has definately some problem with views. To me it looked like you're going for a 3d'ish attempt of a top-down view, meaning that the legs&arms get smaller toward the "ground"… But the character is looking straight into the "camera" (in an ingame-situation) which doesnt make much sense.Hope you get what i wanted to say by that...-seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanie93 Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 Ah, forgive me. I didn't get what you were saying. Here I got the new sprite I said I was going to draw again.If that looks as if it is looking into the 'camera', what would be the best way for drawing the eyes in a proper way?

WarDog Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 you could probably use a little bit of shadow underneath his head, its pretty good size and towers over the shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strafe Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Before you go on plowing ahead with stuff, stop and stare at that character. First think wow will I really want to use this as my character throughout the game? I wouldn't because to be simple and truthful that is an ugly sprite. The head is too wide and the body is awkward. The key to the first step of pixel art is lineart. Just draw a character and keep drawing different front body stances until you decide which you like, don't go for a style that's not yours, create a 96x96 pixel canvas and draw on that, don't limit yourself to a size as you aren't being contracted by someone, keep drawing and you should notice a repetitive style, work with your style, it's yours and it's easy for you to work with. After you made a sprite, animate it. Then move onto maybe make a female and male base, then a fat base etc. Babysteps make it much easier when your 50 sprites in and want to create a fat man and you have to alter your sprite. Sprites and tilesets are different things, work on one at one time one another maybe allocate different days or times of days or periods of hours to either and keep it seperated. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
