Dunno how much of a self portrait it is when it's mutated so much it don't look all that much like me. It's still got my weird smile at least. Might tweak a few bits and perhaps do a better background but I don't have all that much free time left.
Inspired by Disney's Gargoyles
WIP anim at HERE (I can't seem to make links work on here so could a mod change it to a working link and then remove this sentence? Thanks)
cos the forehead was looking too bare and wasteful, and I preferred it coming from right above the brow ridges. Frames the face better with the sideburns in my opinion.
Yeah I think it's quite like that nice old Amiga metal/rock shiny dither technique that people like the Bitmap Bros used in their games. The good ol' days...
Sorry my color and contrast work hurts your eyes. I actually find low contrast stuff very hard on my eyes too. Personally I've never been as happy with my output as I am now and I feel like I'm finally on the way to doing the kind of stuff I'd hoped to have been doing for years. Still gonna take a while though. And yeah the GMC is a terrible place to be if you're a pixel artist wanting to make games. Just seems all they care about is crap 3D, boring online games, and games with ripped commercial graphics... oh and tedious Jumper clones, with just a cube for a player sprite...
I love the attention to detail, but the way you've been using these high contrast and unsaturated colours in your recent stuff has been a killer on my eyes. It's a shame, cause you have great form, but it gets a bit muddled as a result. Only a minor beef.
I hope your Game Maker related work has been going well. I don't see you post at the GMC much anymore(don't blame you).
