For today's piece I decided to try ManningKrull's walking animation tutorial. Walking animation is one of essential things that I need to master.

Stylish!

Following one was referenced from Robotacon's Arcade Academy. Difference to ManningKrull's method is that sprite is shown completely from the side, not 3/4; features 10 frames, not 8; bobs up and down differently. Also it uses design of boots to add readability of animation, but I haven't include any boots to simplify process.

 illogical pink icecream floating in mid-air - prox. 15 mins

52(?)

@Manu - Is it a maze? Also, your street scenes keep getting better ^__^

@FrostedMayhem - The best kind of floating pink ice cream.

I'm going to post a WIP because I'm probably not going to finish this any time soon (it's already taken 1.5 hours - 3 times the limit sry):



based on this album cover: Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary

It's probably best to not include this in the official count (Perhaps this can be Diary in a Day)

It shows that time was spent on the pic. Some for better (like colors), some for worse (overrendering which haven't done better for readability). Also I tried, and think that 32x32 is very tough medium to show multiple objects in a scene - maybe it is not possible to make object recognizable if list of it's features is longer that number of pixels that it takes on the canvas.

The main thing is that to explore the medium and post the result. It is not main gallery, it is log of creativity.

Inspired By These

Use these to experiment with things you haven't done before, not to just say you made a pixel, it'll help you a lot.

Attempted the skull on the front of the latest Job For a Cowboy cd. It didn't turn out well.. mostly since I was trying to stay under 30minutes and I suck at choosing colors.. lol

If you compare the piece to the orinal you can see whats wrong. Mostly lighting problems, like the left should be darker, and the right should be lighter, the eyes are shaped differently. The hole at the bottom doesn't look the same. Things like that. Your eyes can be a useful tool.

#16: sunlight on sidewalk; #17: street view after sunset; #18: 'Eau & Gaz à tous les étages'; see those little plaques everywhere. Respectively 11, 15 and 5 colors; 15', 15' and 10'.

Am I experimenting? I'd say not really, although being new to this, I am in a way. But these are more exercises at seeing, memorizing and drawing.

Experiment would be more about a specific technique, for instance, in rendering, light, aa, etc.

Pixou is an experiment because everything in it is brand new to me, I had no idea where it would take me (and I'm not there yet!)

In yours, the shapes seem less natural and defined; namely in the face. It's hard to make out the shape of her nose and such.

#21: in my pocket, 12 colors, 15'.

12.5-ish
basic house.

# 22, 23, 24: construction site, nuclear power plant, wind farm. 14, 10, 7 colors, about 15' each. They look rather flat :S

Ska: very atmospheric forest, and beautifully disgusting burger!

#26, 27, 28: some still lives (still lifes?); 9, 11 and 12 colors, about 25' each.

C'mon guys!

# 22, 23, 24 I like most from the recent posts. Once I walked near railway station building and was stunned by amazing view of lifting crane against blue sky. You made me remember that sunny day.

Sorry, currently when I pixeling, I pixel for that cover
(which is not contradicting 'pixel everyday' ideology). So when I'll finish it, I'll return to this thread.

#32

7 or 8 colors.
It took me 20 minutes, but I was multitasking.

I'm gonna do Watchmen main character portraits in Xp MS Paint colours :D

Dr. Manhattan

Baldock bypass?

My first try at something this small. I must say, it is harder than it looks.



If you couldn't tell, it's Aragorn from the Return of the King poster.

Thanks :)

93? Also my #3.



Ahhhh, stereotypical tropical sunset shot. Tried to get the huge contrast in shadow and light as there is in large sunsets, including getting the water looking like sunset-saturated water. Happy enough.

12 colours @ 25 minutes because I had to open Photoshop to get a colour value because I forgot to write them down and I use MSPaint still.

Some Batman themed one's:

FM: That doodle one is great!

99 i believe!


I had an idea of a large flying aircraft carrier. So I decided to a 32x32 of it. I started it, then came back to it, so no time recorded really.

I ain't touching 100.
