Hello all, this will be my first post on Pixel Jiont. I myself love lowpixel art. So this seemed like a good topic to start out with. Here is my creation, lets hope i get the linkage to work.

 

ok that should work.

The problem is that you didn't loop the animation. It does play, but only once.

Well, my computer recently died, and what better way to celebrate a new one then with some pixels? Here is my contribution, hope you guys like them, and as always, C+C is appreciated.



Mine pale in comparison to some of the works here, but hey, I'd like to think that this practice is going towards something!

Well here are some that i like to go by:

1. It takes three colors to shade (dithering counts as a color)
2. Set a definate light source. ( I prefer upper left)
3. Try to avoide pillowshading( I do this for tubes though)
4. Use pleasing colors also coors that have simular light and saturation values.

Really the only thing I don't like on your ship is the shading, it doesn't follow the contours of the shapes, but you will improve. Try to avoid pillow shading while you match the contours of the ship.

Wha?! Does dithering count as a colour?

To help with the shading i think you should use higher contrast (generally on the blue and orange parts, the grey is fine), otherwise the actual shading is hardly seeable (even though my screen's contrast is up).

I like the concept though, 'lobster' hehe.

dithering is not a colour, is two colours patterned together to appear
another shade or to blend them into each other.

You are misunderstanding. I meant you can't shade with two colors only without dithering. So a dithered "color" would count as a "shade".

yo ill help with the revival of this thread. It is a 36x36 pixel, 12 colors with the background. Took me about 40 minutes. i am just naturally a slow worker. it pisses me off some times.

 it is like a giant squid/metal hybrid. that thing sticking out of its what would normally be its beak is a large key it uses to open up a gate into some other dimention or  hyper space, havent decided yet...
it started out as a regular ship but then became a crab like creature, but the claws looked out of place, so i swapped them with some tenticles...

those are some nice ship there out law. But the blue exhuast looks way too solid, that might just be how it looks on a white background. some really good examples of pixel thrust is in the game Sigma Star Saga for the GBA. there are some cool ships too. really wierd concept to it too...

*edit* the contrast is different when i up loaded it. it is a little harder to see colors. so i made a variant with a blueish carapace...

Hmm that looks EXACTLY like a ship from a NES game called Recca. I hate to be a whistle blower but unless you made the art for that game you have no business posting work that is not yours.
 
hehe now i get your sig...
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources"
 
 
taken from SHMUPS system11 forums.
 

Stage 1. Lots of little baddies coming down in formation. No slowdown here. IN fact you'll find just the opposite, Recca is like a monster-truck with the pedal jammed down.

Hey butthead, only a dumbass would rip common shmup sprites like Gradius. Being the major SHMUP fan that I am ripped shmup art really upsets me. Hmm perhaps something needs to be said on the system11 forums too....
