Hey glenn. Ik zie dat je toch al best ver bent met het maken van pixelart. Je schaduw werk word steeds beter als ik kijk naar je laatste art. Probeer eens een groter beest te nemen of maak je oude arts wat beter. Kijk anders op Google naar de beesten die je aan het maken bent voor de beste schaduw. En kijk natuurlijk ook naar de arts van andere mensen.

There ones was a man named Mark.
Mark was a game programmer professor on a university in the Netherlands
He developed a game making program for his students
He remade and remade it, over and over, published this on the internet
All Dutch people downloaded it
Created their own games
with Gamemaker.
Now gamemaker is known all over the world, but biggest non official GM communities are Dutch.
For games you need sprites
For sprites you need pixel art
And there is some guy.. ehm nevermind about his name who links the most talented spriters to PJ.. just as this one...

Great you joined glenn! (ik ben die ene persoon van dat ene forum )
Your animals are nice, but to make them look more realistic, you will have to study the skeleton structure of the animals and pictures of them. This is very hard actually..
I think your best work right now is the ship, thats why I will be giving C&C on thatone.

Lineart is good enaugh at the moment, the colors could use some more work. To start with, it might be usefull to have more contrast. This will make the ship look less flat, and more intresting. Also, allways reuse the colors you have used before in pixel art. I also changed the hue a bit.

Next step is to get your shading more accurate.. you have only shaded the front part.. the front part shows that the light source is on the right.. than the right part of the ship should be light aswell right? I have changed a few more things aswell



Now try these steps your own :)

Als je het niet begrijpt, geen probleem ik leg het graag in het nederlands uit voor je :)

Try, you can do it. Just study up a little and post here with something for me to critique on

@Promiser, thanks for the information.

here is a link to a fox picture to kind of reference

You really spend too many colors on those..


I did not count them, but I think I have around 5 colors less than you had. The less colors the better!

I think that you should spend more time on your sprites, instead of making new ones. Woah, what's the count of Blue shades on the plane? 9? You seriously need to reduce the colour count. Good luck.

(Lol, in the US its midnight XD)

Bedankt voor de informatie. Ik heb een paar tutoritials gekeken en gezien dat er geen pillow shading wordt gebruikt, nu heb ik gedaan wat ik veel zag:

Hmmm... I don't like the contrast very mutch...

that plabne is, in fact, a tubular shape. define a ligth source first(from where the ligth will come from) and the start working on the shadows.

lGlenn, it appears that this has been said already, but i'll ask you again: are you asking for help on how to improve these images, or you are just showcasing them?

If the idea is to ask for help, you have to actually show any kind of progress(or interest, or something) on these, based on the comments that people gave you, and please stick to one image untill it can be defined as 'done'. this is not any kind of rule, but a least give us a sign that we are not wasting our time.

on the other side, if you're just showcasing these, please be warned that the forums are not the best place(while indeed  it is not the place) to do it. you are encouraged to submit these to the site's gallery, but honestly, based on the images you have posted i would not recomend this for now.

you decide.
