I decided to take part in the PC-Engine Scene, and do some sprites and tiles for a PCE vertical shooter currently in the works. So here's what I've done to date... I'll add the new ones as I progress. a larger enemy mech. a very small 16x16 enemy, not much to say, heh :P a medium sized enemy, dig those 3 frame thruster animations. a smaller enemy, thought about letting it fire long straight lasers.  a very large mini-boss. the turrets in the second shot are detatchable, still need to animate the turrets.C&C appreciated. |

Hi Squirrelsquid, Great Sprites! The smaller ships have nice thrusters. The very large sprite kind of lacks the same effect. It looks like a failing engine... And at first I thought that the boss was turned. The nose looked like a thrust fire. Maybe you can change the color on that nose? Best regards from M.E. ------------- http://www.kunststukken.nl - KunstStukken.nl M.E. Art |

here's a very weird looking one: fear the TEDDYHEAD!@ M.E. the thrusters will be animated a lot faster, ingame, it's just a lack of the .gif format. glad you like it! :) |

Hi Squirrelsquid, Love the TeddyHead .. Please keep that one!!! The 'real' bear is a bit dark to be playing outside where the stars are  Hopefully the game will let me choose one of the others as being the one that I play with. I like to play with one of the enemies ships instead of the current player ship. The current player sprite lacks a bit of expression. (Reminds me of zaxxon) Keep up the good work!

played with teddyhead a bit... turned him into a cellphone!  the head can slide down, just like the enemy to reveal dial-buttons. the phone also has a touchscreen and stylus, as well as real fire buttons (the bears face), and a directional pad. |

I showed Squirrelsquid some of my work and he was compelled to offer some of his help in making these graphics for these games.
There are two PCE Super CD-ROM2 games we are currently working on right now. One is a run-n-gun contra type game called 'PC-Gunjin'. The other is a vertical shmup called 'Xymati'.

here's some more PCE-stuff... though these 2 aren't for one of the 2 games. the first is some sidescroller stuff:  and some sprites and tiles that are inspired by the gameboy game, Cosmo Tank.  EDIT: here's another enemy of the vertical shoot em up:  |

Hi SquirrelSquid and FragMarE, Hmmmm nice jummy saturated colors. M.E. like except for the browns in the bg of the tank game. Maybe they should be a little darker to really pop out the sprites? Best regards from M.E. ------------- http://www.kunststukken.nl - KunstStukken.nl M.E. Art |

I modified the red enemy a bit. and did a second, that can seperate it's arms. @M.E.: yea you'r right about the colors Edit: another one!  and again a new one!  this one is tiny and took me roughly 8 minutes to pixel, animate and upload. wanted to see how fast I can do a sprite. |

here's some more graphics, some background tiles: I did the blueish rocks, FraGMarE did the (unfinished) lava. and just for kicks, here's a little idea of mine:  Havoc Zone Tactics... my shoot em up transformed into a turn based strategy game |

Frag why don't you start a thread for your art? It would be easier to keep track of who's who. I miss the old saturated palette; who started all this desaturation nonsense? ------------- http://www.shmup-dev.com/forum/">
