Kelvin Shadewing's Pixels

[Ailit]

Thanks!


I tried fixing the mane. The colors have higher contrast than before, too. How's it look? The webbing on the wings looks bad right now, but I just threw it together to see how it works.

[EDIT]

And here's a fix for the face.

That new panel looks great! I think it is missing another wing maybe? (looks sorta off without it I think) Try adding the back wing behind his head and see how that looks.

I understand that there are artistic limits with being faithful to a character concept and trying to transfer it to pixel art. A lot of games I've seen have characters that are much darker shades be lighter when they are rendered in their pixel form. This is usually because of space constraints since smaller sprites can't hold all the detail from the shadows and such.

I'd have to ask what the setting of this character is too because maybe his color fits perfectly into his environment? That's also a factor, you should be able to see him apart from the background but he shouldn't feel out of place either. It's up to you how faithful you want to be to the concept and how to implement it in the environment but so far I think it looks promising!
