Pixel Joint Forum: A desperate thing

Message

   Hey guys of all ages. Yeah I know it sounds creepy in a way ,but .. you know.

I do not know how to start this. The case is I am into developing modest games ,such as myself. I do all the sprites by myself and so. It seems I lost my skills. I have not work on anything for the past 5 years. And I spent a week on this thing. I do not know why am I writing this right now. I just was good and now I suck hard. Ahh, I am just desperate as my work is.

So this is supposed to be a knight that guards a castle. I trying to develop this game right now but it seems I can not go further than I can peek at someone's work. What do you think guys?

Pardon my nonsense. And Enjoy your days folk.

	Your picture seems really badly resized; I can't even tell if it's pixelart! Maybe consider a different image hosting service?

	Very tough to see and decipher. What program is that? High marks on the angle/perspective.

	Is it still resized in my second comment? Thanks jalonso for the marks. Real challenge starts when you try to animate that T_T Maybe I will finish my game next year?

	His right hand is a lego claw? You should rethink that it doesn't look right at all

	*Originally posted by Limes* His right hand is a lego claw? You should rethink that it doesn't look right at all Could be they're mitten gauntlets, thus no visible distinction between fingers. But if it is it's not obvious. Edited by GUNINANRUNIN - 21 September 2014 at 7:42pm

	*Originally posted by Limes* His right hand is a lego claw? You should rethink that it doesn't look right at all Do you think so? lol. Joking. Actually this is the best I can come up with. Man this thing is too difficult. And coming to rethinking I have rethought about the whole project 3 times really. This is V3 of it . That is life I suppose. Nothing easy. For Pixels' sake I was good at it 5 years ago. Man this is insane. Oh btw I use Paint to do that. I have to be good as you guys. That will give me credit for life ;P Edited by Mogh - 22 September 2014 at 12:25pm

	Please, don't be discouraged. I like the overall design I think even the lego like claw suits it, but as you already have been told, the color contrasts are nearly inexistent, the outlines of the parts are almost like the same color as the filling color, and makes your character difficult to see. Try to put more red or more blue (or both) to the metal color. The non plated portion of the arm is the same color as the spear stick? It also makes more difficult to decipher what is going on.

Thanks for tipping. I must note that this is meant to be a game sprite.

	For the hand I think moving the thumb up 1 pixel would help. I use paint too for the majority of my work. Edited by jtfjtfjtf - 23 September 2014 at 4:28pm
