Pixel Joint Forum: The Pixel Band (WIP)

Message

   I'm planning on making a short animation of a pixel rock band. A mate
of mine is gonna make me a short looping rock/metal track to sync the
animations too. Here are the two first members. Lead Guitarist and basist.

Crits are welcome

	Looking okay so far, although they mihgt be lacking slightly in structure, which would make it harder to animate them down the track (pun intended). I'd also have a look at their proportions. I think you need to make a darker fold area under the second guy's knees to show that he is bending, otherwise he looks out of proportion. Is there any particular band you're modelling this on?

	Ooh, something else that I just picked up on was the head and neckline of the second guitarist. I only just read it as him looking at his left hand sliding up the guitar, until now I just thought he was staring down, which looked very awkward. I'd try structuring the hair more to show the direction of the head and perhaps making it darker on the right side where the ear touches the shoulder. EDIT: Nice start on the Mr. T drummer aswell.

We didn't all play Streetfighter you know. Then, I will have to kill you. Back to the pixels, I like the idea and looks pretty cool, but I'm not too sure about the Ying-Yang Symbol.

	The arms look messed up because the lines are to thick.

	The muscle lines on the middle guy's arms are too dark and amke his arm look segmented there. Pretty good overall, so far.
	RPG is numberwang.
