Pixel Joint Forum: WIP: Goths

Message

   I saw someone had done a very cool sprite sheet of Charlie's Angels sprites... It was inspiring, so I've decided to start collecting goths to practice my small detail sprites...

I'm new to this type of sprite design.

	The skin looks a lot more complex than the clothes (and than it really is, probably because it covers such a small space...). I'd recommend shading the clothes some more.

	I agree... I've added a little bit of highlighting as well. EDIT: I've added another goth to this collection. I want that coat that he is wearing to be made out of a very shiny "pleather" plastic material. Any suggestions on how to shade/highlight something so dark (I want it nearly black)?

	Looks good. ^^ I think...probably add a texture of some kind. But I'm not sure. :/ The girl looks a lot better. :D The guy still bugs me, though.

	Well the two biggest tips I would have for shading black are 1) use dramatic shadows in pure black, and 2) don't be afraid of really dark greys. I did an edit thing with more black shadows and a darker midtone.

	I agree. It's much more dramatic with black instead of the grey.

	thirds quietly Is that a zipper? More specifically, a metal zipper? I'd highlight it a bit if it is.

	not that was too drastic, as it appears to be some sort of latex dress with white stains. remember that those clotes follows the anatomy below it, and the idea of those hightlighs(because I would add highlights on a surface that already is black enough to use dark shades) is to help define those features and add volume. as you did in the first sprite's pants and seconds's boots.
