   Instead of opening a new post, I will update this one.

so, here is a shishi-odoshi!

Heyho,

I'm quite new here. I knew the site for quite some time, but I was never active in pixel art, so I never posted.

Since I'm now working on a Video Game with a couple of buddies of mine, and I'm kinda doing the art (the pixel-art), I'll use the opportunity.

I won't give away what the game is about, just that it will be a point&click adventure, that's why this perspective. 

I gave the colors much thoughts, but if you've got any critics, please I sincerly beg you, shout em out!

the game won't be on 640x360. It's just the working scale. It will be bigger, but scaled without smoothing, so the hard pixel edges will remain.

Thanks a lot!

	You have a nice idea and some good images that I assumed you are in the planning stages still. I see you have submitted 2 (as is) to the gallery. These images are all very Oekaki-ish or maybe sloppy/messy/WIPish pixelart. Some bits show you have skill so use them, k.

	yes, although some of them (the 3 cave-screens) are ready for use, i have no doubt about it - in a month or two i will have to work on them again. I'm kinda trying to find my style. thx

	Note that I was only mentioning pixelart techniques and actual pixel work and not design, look, style or anything subjective like that.

	*Originally posted by jalonso* You are still being very messy and scrappy :( you probably mean both the animation and the art. yeah, i kinda get what you say. i know it's not easy but: do you have any advice on what parts i should work on? like, if you had to choose what parts would get more detail or more attention, what would they be (what parts would archive the most if they had more details on them, name one or two)? the animation to be smoother? shadowing of the character? textures of the cave? thanks a lot Edited by sclly - 14 March 2013 at 6:43am

	None of that. Design, look, style and all that stuff should be unique and original which your project is. I only mean that if you have decided to go with pixelart, then the pixelart should be well pixelled using clean, precise and deliberate pixelling. Here you can cell-shade or use dithering as tools or whatever you end up needing. What you have so far is roughly colored pieces using the pencil tool in what ends up being a scrappy/Oekaki-ish thing:/ This is why your work has been sitting in the gallery queue with very low member voting. It all reads as WIPs.

Try this one http://pxlartist.com/forinternet/cycle1.gif If you want to do less aniamtionframes try this: http://pxlartist.com/forinternet/cycle2.jpg + I cant read the sign.. the letters are o dark use a blueish one o a medium grey. so keep up the good work!

	This looks like your trying to make a remake or revisit to Loom, which was made back in the days of Lucas games.. I would be careful with your idea, try not to use to much of the same concept... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loom_%28video_game%29 But it looks okay from what I can see I would agree with the walking animation it seems to be a little choppy needs more frames added.. http://www.idleworm.com/how/anm/02w/walk1.shtml Keep it up though.

	Early versions of the super-horror genre, flexible mobile power, high-speed life force set speed, bleeding wound with both the upper level straight, kept vampire with big strokes to get DS block, five seconds out of DS solutions wave of symptoms and so on. Characteristics to be changed only after the weeping tree, but still very fun. http://www.gw2goldsale.com/news/index-140
