Hello all,
I'm new to pixel art in general and this is my first post here. I live in Tokyo, english is not my mother language and I work as a crappy web designer. (partly) following a guide I found the other day on the internet, I made the images below. Both in 16 colors -theoretically, hum. I know it is not a good thing to start directly with characters instead of making tiles etc, but I kind of felt more comfortable with a hand drawn base so... I suppose both images need a lot more work, so crits please! ![]() URL of the aforementioned tutorial: http://tsugumo.swoo.net/tutorial (old edits...) (re-re-edit: ok apparently it works if it's 1 image per post) Edited by gyakuzoku |

they are nice charicters the anotomy seems beasicly perfect and for
being new to pixel art they are great, i guess the hand drawn base has allot to do with it, which isnt a bad thing. a couple of weird things on the guy though. his left ankle (on our right) looks a bit skinny and his left arm (on our right) seems to extend too far before it gets to the elbow. |

they both dont look all to stable in their stances, secondly, you should clean up your lines some more, thirdly, i dont see much hue variaton, which makes it a bit boring (aside from their rather blad designs - look how iconical the fighters from e.g. tekken are) you got superd anatomy & stuffs though, it just looks somewhat plain |

![]() unstable is because they are in motion... i might be wrong... and the reason they look plain is cos thats how some anime is colourd |

Your drawing skills are obviously very well developed... the positions and character style are great.
Some crits: The darks on the interior lines could be lightened up a bit. Adding one or two dark colors instead of black really goes a long way. The woman could use a highlight color on her shirt and skirt. The guys left forearm looks like the line should continue down into the bicep. |

Thank you all for the great feedback!
Rifts> you are perfectly right about the arm and the ankle. I tried to make them both look better. snader>You are probably right about the lack of personality in those characters... They definitely don't look particular enough for people to remember -> they are too anecdotal. Thanks for pointing that out. For now I tried to increase saturation a bit on some parts, and hue variations too but it probably still is not enough. jegHegy>You are right, the character is a female, not a male. She is actually kind of an androgyneous boyish girl -that's a pretty poor stereotype but heh, it's still more fun to draw girls, even if it is to make them look like boys. sedgemonkey>Thanks for the good crits. Not sure to understand exactly what you mean when you say that the interior lines should be a dark color but not black. I tried something in the new version below... I'd be glad if you could tell me more about that. About the highlight color on the skirt/shirt of the woman, I used one at first, but ended up exceeding the 16 colors limit I fixed myself. I'll be trying to fix that in the next few hours. ![]() |

Those look great! At the moment, the one on the left has a few
little ticks. His left arm sort of look like a snake with a rat
in its belly. It is sort of thin coming out of the shoulder, then
there is a bulge at the elbow connecting to a tiny wrist. This
one I think you need to work on the most with the shading and
anatomy. The second one looks great as well, but her
wristband looks a bit flat. I am excited to see them finished!
