This is what I will recreate. This challenge is forcing me to finally create a base sprite sheet for a size I like working with just for fun.

Perfect timing with this challenge; I was just thinking of remaking some old sprites last week haha.
Remaking this: ![]() (sorry, native size file doesn't exist anymore) Rough sketch(mostly just pose): ![]() |

Nevermind changing almost everything XD
![]() Wat do you guys think about the pose? I kinda like it but still feels a bit odd somehow, not sure exactly what I should change... |

To above post:
I think the pose is definitely better. More action-orientated. I think his left leg is in a bit of a weird position/angle though. Loses some of the power in his stance due to the foot pointing inwards. -------------------------------- Thoughts? ![]() ![]() |

Quake, I think you should try to make the pose more dynamic, like in the original. If you want a more powerful look, you can still achieve it without going for such a plain angle and stance.

Quick response!
True. I'll have a go at changing it and making the pose more dynamic. Thanks. Are you planning on doing anything? edit: Think I'll finalise on this pose. Don't want to spend too much time on it. ![]() |

Nope. My first pixel art is gone, so I can't link to it.
Edit: I think that looks much swooshier, Quake! Consider making the salamander interact with its environment, perhaps? The original looked like it was climbing on some invisible rocks. |

It doesn't have to be your first. One of your first is good enough.
Great wips so far! |

I don't know how close it is to being first, but I found some stuff from 2005 o_o I guess I'll try to do something with that.

Thoughts on the shading?
Good idea, Eishiya. I'll have a look into doing some rocks. Need to do some fire near the tail as well. Tail is WIP so it hasn't been shaded yet. ![]() |

@giaart186: Remake your first (or close to first) pixel art, applying knowledge/skills you've learned since then.
@Quake: It looks very slick and shiny, but there's not a good sense of light source/direction. Maybe block in the fire before you do the shading? Edit: Tossing my WIP here, done for tonight. I am trying to make this a legit tileset since the original was tile-based, but I want to make it more practical and versatile. The corners are more blocky because of this. ![]() Need to make the flower tiles and the objects tomorrow. |

So am I to understand that last weeks challenge has been extended? Or is my computer not displaying correctly?
