So.. making sprites is pretty much dolling, no?

I decided I needed to get back into this pixelling business you're all so crazy about, so I made my first sprite today.

CC please cause I was just making stuff up as I went along.. are there any ruled/guidelines for this, or just whatever you want goes?


I don't like the pants..

This is my Earthy period, don't judge me! 

So.. the size and color count is ok?  The pocket is weird, I'll try to make it less angled.  Yeah... this isn't really anything new or reinvented.  I just wanted to try a really generic do- er.. sprite and see how it goes.

I was thinking of doing a series of some sort, just to force myself to practice - any ideas?

looks pretty good...no real crits from me.

What's the chances we can get you into animation?! Then you can make sprite sheets....which makes stuff look so much cooler :P

only saw them cuz I zoom everything (old eyes, ya know)

Better?

I think the hairline is fine as it is now, it looked worse lower.

Other thoughts?

well since Jal is trying to be funny, I assume this one is done.

Next practice: my friend...

Discuss.

yeah i have to turn the foot to face us, but thats how it came out in the original sketch and i havent worked on that yet.. same with the hand.

As for the pose, I was trying to make it like both feet are on the ground but since one of them is behind her,  i made it higher up, but i guess it doesn't come accross that way.. maybe I could make her be mid-air in a jump?

bit of an edit.  used some selout and edited her crotch area, her leg looked a bit disconnected

ens you're getting way ahead of me, I'm still just focusing on the basic shapes (i just started shading cause i was bored waiting for cc last night)  the selout and smoothing out the arms will def come later.. i havent even done the hands yet! heh, I think you just wanted to zoom in on the bewbs :D 

I'll move down the bellybutton and do her hair.  I'll edit her left leg to face forward today.

My mommy said I already won, now bring on some real crits or I'll break ur hip!   muahahaa

"i havent even done the hands yet!"
read up... she hasnt even started on them yet... 

and i am pretty sure she knows that there are stray pixels, and i am even more sure they won't be there when she is done...  we call them reference points, typically.

yeah stray pixels and all that are really nothing to worry about at the moment, I'll make it transparent anyway, i just don't like white backgrounds, they hurt my eyes.

 AND

1. She goes topless cause she's hot, not cause she's a lesbian.
2. How does me liking green and brown make me lesbian?
3. How does frolicking make you lesbian?
Just admit it, you wish she was your friend instead.  It's ok to be jealous.

now to back to business
1. I purposely left out a highlight on the skin, because well skin isn't that shiny.. and her stomach is flat.. i thought it was ok.. and I was trying to keep with the style of 2 shades for the most part.. so I'll play around with that, but i think i'll stay with just those shades.
2. I dont see what you mean about the feet,  they're covered by the pants so only the tip is visible... and besides I always wear flats so I was kinda exaggerating that i guess just to make it more... me.  I'll see what i can do..
3. ok i feel bad for rejecting all the things you mentioned, but the arms seem fine too.. if you straighten them out they'll be about mid thigh, which is where they're supposed to reach..  the pants are loose, but they're also just low.. so reference the crotch not the top of the pants.

i probably wont have time tonight but i'll keep working  on those.
i actually wasnt planning to submit these, but i guess i should. it's been forever since I did anything in the gallery.

the pelvis looks off perspective with the belly button/breasts. and something just doesn't feel right with the proportions overall. maybe i'll make an edit. maybe i'll just eat more crackers. hmmn.

gah. You're awesome at drawing bodies. Any chance of an animation showing any time soon?

Do you pinkey swear?  Those are legaly binding, ya know.
Dude, those colors are freaking awesome.

haha, I like the hand fix. I'd remove some of the black outlining on the first one. :)

Umm, this is more or less a matter of taste but arent the torsos a little (2-3 pixels) too long compared to the legs? I can't find anything else to pick on.

Some selective outlining might make it pop more, but it's really just fine w/o it.
