My pixel art.

Shaun · 04-03-2006, 04:56 PM

I'm a beginner to pixel art and I'd like to hear your thoughts on what I've done. I would have posted in the gallery but the images aren't really big enough. So, anyway...

Troop

I plan to make a side-scrolling shooter soon, and here's my first sprite for it. This took like, five hours, and only one frame is complete. VERY time-consuming.

Helicopter

I don't expect anyone to comment positively on this. Why? Because this is an old version. I've done far more than this, and I have no Internet connection at home; I'm using a college PC. I got the shape right though, and the version I have at home looks far better. I'll try and upload the new version when/if I can.

Nintendo DS

This is part of a logo I am doing for the Nintendo section of a gaming commnity. This is just one console complete, took about two hours. I'm going to try and do most of the Nintendo ones.

Nintendo Logo

For the same purpose as the DS. I think it's okay, but I reckon I used shading inapporpriately...

That's way better than I could do - I'd get really impatient and just stop half way through. 5 hours? Wow.

Nice work, Shaun.

Thanks. I'm pretty proud of what I've done considering I only started like, a week ago. But it's nothing compared to what professionals can do.

Well you know what they say, practice makes perfect!

Shaun · 04-03-2006, 05:40 PM

That's right!

Speaking of pixel art, who's that in your sig/avatar? I recognise her, but I'm not 100%.

Very cool!

My eyes get lazy when I try pixel art!

Thank you (I've lately felt an urge to thank everyone for some reason)! It just takes time, and painkillers.

It's a dancer from Final Fantasy IV! :grinpink:

I look forward to seeing more of your work.
