Hello everybody!

Been pixelling a couple of buff heroes for a hobby game project me and a couple of friends are doing. We're aiming for a mix-up of beat'em'up and platformer action. Before I go on and do craploads of frames for these guys though I need some crits for the designs. So please speak whatever's on your minds and don't hold back, I have a thick skin :)

I'm kinda sort of making a game on an RPG engine. The engine is called OHRRPGCE, and it stands for "Official Hamster Republic Role Playing Game Engine". It's mainly for low-bit games and it's kinda limited, but it still has an (optional) programming language called HamsterSpeak, of which I'm trying to learn a little.

You know, Pipe, I understand the edit to the leg, and the slight change to the elbow, but I'm rather at a loss as to what you found wrong with he shoe. Maybe you could explain that one. :D
 
One more update. Took the shine off the shorts,and it does look better. Those shoes, though... They still need work.
 
 
I need to makea skin pallette now I suppose.
 
The bat layer isn't shown so thelines weren't so distracting.

Nice, if it's as good as it looks I'll put it on my flashcart.]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:52:17 +0000 http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9431&PID=122736#122736 WIP (Work In Progress) : Shading teh monster http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9436&PID=122735#122735 Author: Minstrel

First, look at the monster on the right. You have big areas of single colours, most notably the belly, followed by smaller areas of shadow, also of a single colour or of only 2 colour dithering. This works very good: it gives a good idea of how the light works and adds depth.

Now, the monster on the left is very different: you start straightaway with the dithering. This is why the green monster looks 'noisier' than the purple one. You should probably do as you did with the purple monster: choose areas that will be in a uniform shade of green and start dithering and darkening frther away from the center of picture.

Hope that helped.

Posting my giant working canvas, apologies:



The ones that are obviously not mine are, obviously, not mine. Oh, and to address pipe's earlier question: the light source is above/topleft, but I cheat it wherever I feel I need to. I noticed It was coming from the right on the arrow boxes, so I flipped them.

EDIT: Lol, that sounds awesome. You know they've made a remake in 3D? Well, it's not technically a remake, but it's basically the same game: Crazy Machines

I tried to fix her (our right) leg and her arm and changed the shoe a bit... I wont tell you why I changed those details I think you will figure it out by yourself(to lazy to explain).Anyway I think you show some potential as a pixel artist and your first pixel art is looking pretty good so far...
