I know bumping is not allowed but I figured since I was reviving this topic to start posting new work then it'd be okay.


I added some more recent stages and sprites. I'm still learning and I've been focusing more on programming since I was last here.

Your shading is lacking a lot. There are some instances of pillow shading and some of the objects light source doesn't agree with the other. I see you tried dithering. you kind of missed the whole point of it in some of the sprites. Here is a tutorial for dithering:

Here is a nice archive of sprite tutorials that has helped me.

And some simple pointers to help your pixel art.

I would give more advice but I'm getting tired so I will be back with more specific examples of your mistakes.

it's very much allowed as long as it's showing updates on work or something. Tongue

I put everything into link form so you won't have to scroll down so much and I've added something new(The first link). It's just pixels man..

Seriously please use [img] tags to post a static image of the image you're linking. IF you're worried about us scrolling too much, put useless/old work in spoilers. [spoiler].

My comments still apply.

Update:

I've been looking for a new style of sprite for a game I am planning and I can't seem to find one that's right. I'm exploring different styles as of now and I am currently practicing stuff like this:

Update:

I have decided to stick to this style to try and "perfect" it.

This looks better than the piccolo sprite you did years ago, so I see you improved a little. Though, you need to optimize pixel placement in order to avoid jaggies, and the anatomy in the sword holding frame is all weird. I'll be sure to give you tips when I have time.

RE: Sazh's "pixel art" - Novally - 02-18-2013

Color values are a bit odd. The shaping in some parts of the sprite look really odd too. The guy is looking a bit top heavy, but could be intentional. The weapon holding sprite could use a lot of work. That's not how it should look when someone is pulling out a weapon from a sheath. It isn't really anatomically correct.
