Hello everyone!
I'm brand new to this forum- in fact, I didn't know it even existed until moments ago, and I had to join instantly! What a great place! I'm an art teacher by days and freelancer by nights, and sprite work and pixel art are great interests of mine. ( I even bought a SF3 arcade cabinet, for its one of my formative inspirations!) I look forward to work on pixel art and just learning from everyone! My very first attempt at making a sprite was sometime last year, and it has quite a few flaws! I'm going to work on it more and really make a primary skill! Feel free to check it out here: http://arttronik.wordpress.com/2010/02/12/pixel-art/ - http://arttronik.wordpress.com/2010/02/12/pixel-art/ I warn you, it was a year ago. Improvement has happened! Even still, I'm open to any constructive comments! Also, for those who love the pixel art of Capcom fighting games, primarily- check out a few things: This is a blog post I wrote about the origin and ties to the SF3 character Gill. It discusses design, mainly. http://www.capcom-unity.com/arttronik/blog/2010/10/17/character_design_and_capcom:_gill - http://www.capcom-unity.com/arttronik/blog/2010/10/17/character_design_and_capcom:_gill This is an awesome post, my great buddy from college, Richmond wrote. It incorporates the twelve principles of animation into sprite work and dissects, analyzes, and educates! Well worth a read! http://art-eater.com/2010/07/test-1-darkstalkers/ - http://art-eater.com/2010/07/test-1-darkstalkers/ And of course, my blog- should you be interested. http://arttronik.wordpress.com - Arttronik's Blog I look forward to learning from you all! Let me know what you think of those articles! |

Hmmm, sorry about that. I suppose that we could critique my first attempt from the blog I placed in my introduction.

| Ahhh! It's a jpeg!!Save as png or gif. When you save as a jpeg it messes up all the pixels |

I didnt know that about the JPEG! Now that I think about it, it makes sense. I'll be sure to fix that in the future. As for reference there was none. I drew the character and then drew over it in PS. Check out the blog post for my exact steps if you want.

| i'd be best to start much smaller than this if you want to learn pixel tech, helps you pay attention to pixels/ pixel relationships |
