Hi to all, I am working on a spare-time 'passion project'. Despite having no prior experience of drawing pixel art, or art in general, it has fallen upon me to create art assets for this project. I enjoy this very much, but would definitely benefit from some more experienced opinions. This is my first attempt at explicitly trying to create an animation. For context: this is for a side scroller (strictly side on view), and I'm also trying to limit the number of tiles/frames (to stay within hardware limitations) This is the piece in question:  It is a sinking swamp. Broken down:  For reference, it currently sits alongside static ground which looks like this -  (This was drawn by another member of the team.) It actually looks okay in-game, provided you don't give it too much individual scrutiny, however, I'm not totally happy with it. I spent a lot of time getting the silhouette of the surface correct, then experimenting with getting the details to corroborate that motion. However, the details themselves simply look a bit amateurish. Any and all feedback, opinions, tips and advice are highly encouraged and gratefully received. Thanks in advance. |
