It's amazing

what one shade can do for pixel art...

[CeeY]

Agreed. Did you do this one with a tablet?

[Codestar]

Nah I was bored here at work so I just tried to see what my characters would look like if I added a little bit of shading.

[CeeY]

I honestly liked your original version better. It was more true to the style.

[Baegal]

I think it would be cool with a second shade, but maybe just for shading a little of a large object and to AA.

[Codestar]

I just don't think it makes much sense to have the background shaded and the characters not. Plus I think I can show a lot more depth with this. The main reason for me coming up with my style was thatit lightened the pixel load a great deal in the game so I could work on other things at a better pace. Now that I have my tablet though, I can knock graphics out no problem and I can make things look a lot better to compensate for that extra bit of help.

[Codestar]

I have to say, the sprites look great with shading, much better than before, especially the orange haired one.

[Codestar]

Oh yes, those colors are so much better. thanks

[tsr moderation staff]

not a problem

[Codestar]

Well... out with the old, in with the new I suppose!

[Vipershark]

er, personally I like the unshaded style.

It makes the characters stand out more, and gives the game a sort of style.
