can someone give me a quick rundown? i'm a newfag

>>5008672
the guy who's keeping the single other pixel thread alive, he posts indecipherable drawings that blink after some time

>>5008675
why does everyone call him a schizo? He behaves like your typical deviant tard autismo.

>>5008709
Cause it's the hip new mental illness. Three years ago he'd be the blink-autist or whatever.

Finally done. So, does it look good, /PAG/?

>>5008771
very nice, love the leg movement

>>5007775
I wasn't sure how fast this thread was going to get started, you beat me to the punch, if you start the thread in a month's time here's some more tutorials.

Also, this a sprite sheet I edited. I could not get the forward walk to look right, It looks more like skating.

>>5008773
Great thing about side view sprite is that you can just flip it in both left and right directions without having to edit it much (or at all).

>>5008823
the bottom row looks like fucking gangnam style

>>5008771
>>5008925
You've been working on that walk for quite some time tweaking it to get it to look just right.
Good work!

Any advice

>>5010095
look at her go

timing

>>5010101
yeah,
i used default speed in aseprite
so anything else

>>5010107
Always skip anticipation frame (second in your case) for attack animation. Also slightly move body in the direction of action.

>>5010127
i actually based on MMBN sprite sheet
for MMBN Yugioh fangame

For some reason right arm just refuses to look good no matter what I try. Help?

i'm new

>>5010665
nice

>>5010665
It shows

>>5010713
thanks!
>>5010725
what should i focus on improving?

>>5010746
Well, I would look at making the planet and moon have better lighting rather than looking flat. I can see you did a highlight on the top, but I can't really tell if there is a shadow on the planet or if that is just another band on it.

>>5010904
Thanks, I'll retry on lighting it in a more realistic way

but i don't post art too often, it's a mix of shitposts/gamedev stuff

>>5011234
I only post my garbage here for now. Be it porn edits or something that I actually put effort in.

I think it's is as good as it gonna get with this pose. Also looks okay if flipped too.

I'm frustrated, how did you learn to draw characters? Everything I try is very flat and I have no idea how to put them aside. Btw, hair, mouths, basically everything is an obstacle for me.

Can you tell what it is?

Any tips?

>>5013395
A jew nose?

>>5013395
Looks like a helmet or a paper airplane depending on the game setting

>>5013395
meant to be panties

>>5013447
Ah okay I see the bow now. Try making the bow a different color. Also you could show us more of a straight on view instead of a 3/4 view maybe would help.

>>5013395
I thought it was a gun, but I have no idea what it is to be honest.

>>5013281
pyw, unironically

>>5013447
I see it now, like the other anon said, make the panties a different color. Also make the inside have a heavier contrast from the outside.

>>5013395
OY VEY

>>5013281
Well until you post your work, we can't examine it to see why it is flat.

>>5013402
maybe have a different background so you can have a better read on the sprites, but that's it really, like just swapping the black and the magenta around so you can see details like the drawn bowstring.

>>5013869
Good job man it definitely looks like panties now

I'm passing time by making resprites of some Terraria boss into monster "girls." Thoughts?

>>5010996
Resize next time, I have don't see anything wrong but are those fins on It's lower body? I kinda mistook it for amputated limbs lol. The horns(?) on It's head look nice with the lighting, I think putting more blue lights on the right horn will add more clarity to the form.

I was just doing some sketches and I decided to do some pixel practice with it.

>>5013967
yeah, I posted my deviantart itt already
>>5011262

>>5017621
Can you please resize your images. They look cool but they are all so small.

>>5018643
>they are all so small
Has anon posted any others? I hadn't noticed, honestly

>>5018660
I assumed >>5017621 was the same as >>5010996 because of the colors. I apologize if I'm wrong but I also believe him to be the same one who is posting all of them of the same resolution. When I open the image in a new tab and hold ctrl and use the wheel I can only zoom in so much it's still kinda small.

>>5018643
>>5018671
nah, i sometimes just use 48x48
they also use more dithering i think

>>5018675
Thank you!

>>5018671
the dragon was me lol, for future reference, I exclusively use 4-color palettes

Almost done. Not really sure how much torso should move and rotate during walk.

I just wanted to make something with masses being squeezed.

Left or right, which one you guy prefer

First attempt at pixel art in forever, HD remake of Marina from Mischief Makers.
Drew over the pixel art, scanned it, thresholded it, and am now in the process of painstakingly pixeling.

>>5019998
right

>>5020103
I look forward to seeing this finished. If I do recall though, the original model in the game is just 3D model which was then down scaled, kinda like Donkey Kong Country.

>>5010665
Use my ultra simple guide for hue shifting

How do I do soft/diffuse lighting without a gradient tool or something similar?
Also, are there any guides for color or shading or palettes in general? Everything I've been able to find seems like you need to have taken a few years of a traditional art class to even comprehend it.

>>5017171
it's alright

Here is a snowman I made, last year

>>5017171
it's not bad.
maybe there should be a little more shading+an outline? I'm not sure if that would improve it, but I guess that's what I would do

Here is a snowman I made, last year

How do I improve this? It looks too flat. And that's not shading on it, I didn't want the entire boar to be a single color so I just designated parts to have darker fur

Looking for feedback in general. Wasn't super happy with the foreground of the ocean but I thought the ship itself turned out well.

>>5024372
I'm terrible at this, but I think trying to define certain parts of the boar helps a lot. I tried to define belly and neck primarily to try to add depth to it, and the top of the back as lighter because counter-shading. Your colors just seemed kind of random.

>>5024685
Ah holy shit, you're a genius! Thanks man

>>5025123
some fixes for this guy, reads better I think

Always wanted to try pixel art, this is my first ever attempt. Thoughts?

>>5026261
The palette with regard to the background especially is quite noisy. It also looks quite strange how the blue/white border is heavily aliased but then there's a stark border for the figure against the wall.
I think the face looks fine at the size you provided, but scaled properly is very indistinct.
Other than that I can't say much because it's extremely stylized and in a style I personally don't like, but that's completely opinion based.

>>5026261
Made some changes
>>5026314
>The palette with regard to the background especially is quite noisy. It also looks quite strange how the blue/white border is heavily aliased but then there's a stark border for the figure against the wall.
Thanks, I didn't really pay much attention to the BG, was mostly focused on the figure, it's meant to be sky and clouds.
>I think the face looks fine at the size you provided, but scaled properly is very indistinct.
What do you mean "scaled properly"?
>Other than that I can't say much because it's extremely stylized and in a style I personally don't like, but that's completely opinion based.
Sure thing brother, variety is the spice of life, you do you. But next time you critique perhaps ask yourself, "is what I'm saying helpful in any way?" Thanks nevertheless for taking the time, cheers

>>5026369
Yeah tried not to talk much about the style stuff because it's not helpful. The scales thing I mean looking at it where one pixel is one pixel, IIRC you had like a ~7x scale, and things can look very different. I think the updated face looks way better though.

>>5026912
Ooh, I see what you mean, I didn't consider checking at that scale. Thank you brother. Do you have any beginner-friendly resources for an aspiring pixel artist? Also what kind of style do you prefer?

>>5026947
(oops meant to post the 1:1 px ratio version, here it is)

>>5026947
here is also the 1:1px scaled version (sorry for doubleposting, meant to post above but no brain)

>>5026947
Not him but the OP has some good stuff. I suggest pixel pete and mortmort on youtube. They're both game pixel artists so they deal less with individual characters and more on stuff like props and tilesets, but all of it is tranferrable. I dunno of the OP has the miniboss pixel art tutorials, but those are great too

>>5027122
Awesomeness, much obliged anon

>>5014964
Also this

Did a fictional magazine cover.

Drawing female sprite with noticeable boob is hard
any advice?

>>5028707
Looks good to me honestly. If you don't have riDDiculous proportions it's pretty hard. Your highlighting does the job well I think. If animated a minor bounce and the fact that they'd be consistently highlighted would probably help emphasize them more, but for a still it's harder in my experience.
Also is the yellow pixel behind the left knee purposeful? Looks weird.

Not exactly a pixel art question, sorry. Does anyone know gamedev api/platform/engine that is somewhat similar to flash in animation functional? I wanted to move from it for a long time, but I can't find anything that quite as easy and powerful for 2D animation (maybe aside from unity, but it seems like massive overkill for a shitty pixel h-game). Adobe will kill flash in a month and I don't want to fixate on a dead platform forever.

>>5028838
Okay, but did you intend to create game?

>>5028838
HTML5?
if you are big ball, Qt

>>5030262
I already have working build written in AS3. Core game mechanics like battle system, dialog, inventory, cutscene handling are all there, but in terms of actual content it has few finished maps and only one unfinished h-scene so far. So, yes, I intend to complete it someday.

>>5030265
HTML5 is actually not a bad option, since Animate supports it too.

>>5014140
before I read your text I thought you had made a new sprite to indicates the worm is flipping its direction.

can you just cut the frame down?
like try to take down when you hit into 4 frame

>>5034167
Im sorry, i dont seem to understand exactly, care to explain more?

Anyone here have any tip on animation?

>>5030603
Where can the development be followed?

>>5034292

>>5036520
is that eyebrown, or eyes?

>>5036381
Nowhere for the moment. As I said before it's just engine test build with little to no content, but i can upload project folder to MEGA and post the link here if you interested.

made this a while back. point out the flaws pls

rate my potato please

>>5037356
based

>>5014803
Yeah I guess It's technically pixel art, but I don't see the point in doing super big artwork in this medium.

Your piece doesn't gain anything from using these constraints.

In my humble opinion pixel art should be about placing individual pixels and where placement matters.

Painting with pencil brush and using bucket tool to fill 99% of your piece. What's the point?

I was given a task to make a machine that was more organic in nature so I combined a creature with turbines. it's for a top down tile based game this would take up 3x2 squares for anyone curious.

Tried my hand at some runes from runescape. New to art in general, but I thought the four color and 16x16 limitation kept things from getting to overwhelming.
Any feedback? I know they're simple, but I'm very new.

jesus christ this thread

pixel art is about simplicity and appeal

it was built on hardware limitations

if you cant grasp that then

LESS IS MORE

the goal is limit yourself

>>5038740 has the right idea

>>5026369 does not

but in both of you lies potential

ill explain in a second next post

lets begin with the basics

FFTA

isometric pixel art.

this is an example of a well communicated sprite.

the colors are limited .
the essence is there.

what im saying is

in LESS space this sprite has conveyed MORE than >>5026369

thats the goal.

to convey as much as possible

with limitations

like on the gameboy

i understand you zoomies have no limits but back in the day hand helds had like four colors maximum ok? gba was a fucking phenomenal jump that you wouldnt understand

ok doomer gugugugug

well you can troll and laugh at me when ANY of you can pixel for shit. because all i see is a bunch of passionate losers

next by following rules and REUSING colors as much as possible

you can achieve things like cars

think of isometric like a weird chessboard

pop open https://jspaint.app

use the line tool
and pixel yaself a grid

make sure to make it transparent

wowee you just made a tile

congrats

lookit that i used the fill bucket tool

to make a grid

isnt that snazzy

the first test is to make this box

if you can do that

you pass the first test

and you can run and tell ya mum

that a 4channer taught ya something useful fora change

>>5038830
Anon, did you drew that car? I like the 1950's feel to it.

>>5038868

How the fuck do you make them so fast!?
Also I see you put your palette on the left, is there a name for that kind of palette?

Any critique is appreciated.

Did this for my streamer friend, he sure loves Hotline Miami

>>5040559
The shadows on the face feel a bit off

>>5040496
My palette is literally that, a palette. I work on Photoshop, just make a layer with a selection of color to use, like a painter.
I usually draw quiclky, and I draw for a long time, but there's a few catch. First, since it's for a game I'm working on, I already have a list of the character.
The real secret technique is to start with a silhouette and work the elements and detail like silhouettes, because pixelart is all about read-ability of each element
>>5007775 see OP's pic
It's really 6 huge parts : legs, the crab, the tank base and each canons. And maybe the huge claw. Each of these parts is very detailed, but very different from the other,so the whole is distinguisable.
I also paint miniature, i guess that helps about making tiny thing like where does the eyes feels right and the color choices of course.

I've started a new faction that takes a bit more time, mostly because I have less info to work from. They are a whole group of faggy demons inspired by that one demon from RPG Maker XP

Why do you even bother to post an image made with a filter

>>5041578
>hehe my hi res photography is pixel art because it's digital and therefore made out of pixels
kill yourself as soon as possible you ape

I draw, but I can't program for beans and would never ask someone to code for me because I know how excruciating that can be, so I don't really do pixel art. Sometimes though, I get that itch. This incomplete sheet shows a character of mine.

>>5042255

Any Advice?

>>5042261
>>5042264
These look really smooth, well done.

>>5042967
Haven't played YGO for years so trying to recall what they're supposed to look like it a little tough, but for general stuff ai personally like outlines and grater rather than black shadows. More shadows for the winged characters too.
Specifically I think the maiden's praying hands look more like a waist cutout or something, it's just unclear. Also the stone guardian looks nothing like him do I hope that's a different card. Weapons could go a long way too characters lik celtic guardian.
This is all from memory though, so take it with a grain of salt.

>>5042279

Any advice
i want to draw using two color, but couldnt find a way
any tip?

>>5043318
Use two colors

>>5043331
i mean, like, any tip/trick to replacing other color?

._.

>>5043318
>change the shirt to white with skincolor shading
>change the belt to black with white metal bits
>make the pants pattern either skin/capepurple or skin/black
>black shoes with either skin or purple detail
>white teeth
That's what I'd do for this specific character.

>>5043318
>>5043807
Or do you actually mean with two colors, not black/white/x/y?
That's a tough one

>>5043318
took some liberty with the cape/pants because it downscaled weird
also stop making things that aren't 1:1 it's fucking retarded

>>5043915
>>5043318
Pretty nice but still a bit detailed for the scale, the belt and mouth are a bit blurry imo

>>5042279 continued
Pretty proud of that one, she's a Bizarro demon lord

I wish there was less tedious way to convert sprite sheet of gif into movie clip inside flash. Right now I have to manually mask every individual frame plus assign correct timing to them. Having to do this for every anim feels like actual job someone would be paid to do. Drawing this shit and coding is so much more fun than animating it.

Like, I've coded this drinking contest thing overnight and scene itself is ready too, but fucking animation ingame will take so long to complete it's ridiculous. There has to be another way.

>>5047737
Could you at least guide me on how to improve making textures look right in pixel art

>>5048178

>>5047380
See you staff ? Add a third shade and you texture is enough. Now do that for your feathers. 3 shades is a minimum for that scale imo.

>>5047385
She would be perfect with just a touch of shading on her cape, because white works well like this. But brown is a color that shift a lot in the light.

Sorry if I sounded cold, I really want to help but that clean and nice style is not my niche at all. I like things weird and dirty.

>>5062327
>>5063234
It looks very static. You could try playing around with the FPS rate and making more dynamic changes between frames, such as bending the stalk and rotating the bloom more

>>5063245
Alright thanks. Sorry if these are noob questions but this is my first time animating something so idk if i'm getting this right. When you say play with the fps does that mean i should ramp it up a bit while cutting out some of the frames with less movement?

>>5063254
You should try in- and decreasing the duration of some of the frames is what I meant. See what looks natural

i remember playing this shit in Highschool
that was long time ago

>>5052982
aw shit that's pretty good
Can someone translate this?
if someone make new thread, make sure to add this in the OP

Is this a missile?

>>5065855
looks like a space shuttle

>>5065866
How can I make it look more like a missile then?

>>5065947
I think making it longer and thinner would help

>>5063244
what's your twitter bro

>>5065642
>i remember playing this shit in Highschool
You mean Guardia Forest (fkiss marle) by humbird0 or actual Chrono Trigger?

>>5065855
the red front looks like a cross section. Make it a pixel or two longer maybe ?

>>5007775
You didn't include grafx on your tool list OP

Been working on this for a while now.

Second pixel art that I ever made, how can I improve? And I didn't understand 100% how to make AA, should the back of the hair have AA inside or outside?

>>5067118
what hair ? that's Dobby in some kind of window

Something about this feels off and i cant figure out just what that might be

>>5068016
honestly I wouldn't even be able to identify that as a dog without the filename

>>5067744
lol no

>>5068016
You're spriting Zygardes for RBY? Any particular reason? (tell me your project name)
I'd say there's several inconsistencies regarding the proportions. You attempted imitating the official artwork, but we can see that it didn't really work, the front left leg is way longer than the right one, the back right leg is really weirdly positioned and the mouth is kinda fucked perspective-wise. Honestly I'd suggest you sketch the thing and then sprite over it, I've done that with my "demake" sprites and the results have been quite presentable, picrel. All it requires is that you get a feeling for the design and how it works so you can accurately sketch it.
Of course RBY sprites are notorious for looking horrible, so maybe you don't even have to fix it if you're going for stylistic cohesiveness.

you pixel artists are so cool. I bought a pixel art book and I hope to join you all soon. I used to do pixel art about a year ago but I couldn't handle anti-aliasing.

what separates "pixel art" and "binary art"? is binary art just oekaki?

>>5068511
>couldn't handle anti-aliasing
Just don't. Use fewer colors and simpler designs.

>>5068016
>outline on the scarf but not on the dog
>weirdly shaded semi-outlines spreaded all around but not everywhere
>three legs
>whatever is happening in the front
>>5067744
>>5068066
he's right. hair don't work that way. you have a bald elf in front of a blue blob. Get the ear further back and into the hair

cool thread! im getting more into pixel art lately

>>5069745
Yeah, it sucks. I'll try something else and put this one aside.
>Bald elf OP

I copied the idea of the character but I didn't copy it pixel by pixel, I saw what looked good and in the end I liked it. This is far from good, but compared to my other attempts I liked this one.

mega long shot here, but has anyone compiled any of these on linux? cannot figure it out for the life of me I'm dumb. I saw someone on the nesdev forums compiled it for windows but I don't think it works with wine or at least it didn't for me. I just wanna emulate what my pixelart would look like on real hardware

What are we seeing here, fellas?

new fag here. what kind of pixel worrk is this called? just garnared an intrest and i want to make things in 5 years that look like this. any thing i should read up on?

>>5069753
Looks Nice
>>5071057
A hooded rogue or ninja type figure
>>5071222
Oekaki or Pixel art Oekaki, if you check last thread there's an argument detailing it, and if you check the OP I do believe there are threads on the topic as well.

>>5071057
that white+red square on the hood is bugging me

>>5071764
Why?

>>5071785
what is it supposed to be ?

>>5071785
It looks like an eye which in turn makes his face look like teeth. All of this I got from just quick glance at thumbnail. It will be less confusing if you remove those pixels.

>>5071808
>>5071814
aw it was supposed to be a badge-type of thing. Any ideas on how to convey that?

>>5071828
think in term of actual drawing
what size would a single badge be on that character ?
one pixel

>>5071828
I say don't bother and remove it. Sometimes simplest solution is the best one.

>>5071841
reasonable

>>5063711
It's fumi's work, he is a pretty talented artist that does pixel art, digital art, 3D modeling and trad art.

Seethe more, loser.

>>5013395
ocarina?

>>5028232
based

first water/grass pixel art
tips to improve appreciated

>>5072520
make it tilable

>>5010127
this was a big improvement, good eye anon. hope you followed this >>5010107

>>5040559
this is a standout in the thread for me, good job

Any advice?

>>5073122
fuck forgot image

>>5073123
Ayla looks gargantuan compared to Crono. Define proportions and try to follow them closely. Shading and values are also kinda all over the place.

>>5073214
oops. some lines didn't show up

Working on this, trying to make a little chibi character and not sure if this style is really working for me. Any tips?

>>5073214
>>5073123
yeah
i always thought that she was big

>>5073214
>>5073320
also, any tip for shadow in pixel art, especially in cloth

>>5060133
Well, it's lightweight, open-source, has nice editor (that also includes 3D mode) and it's own scripting language. Also Godot has detailed onboard documentation. It took me just few minutes to throw together a scene with animated actor, collision detection and response, movable camera with easily settable limits. For comparison, I spent weeks to figure out how to do same shit in action script 3, but that might be because I had zero experience with programming back then (even now I suck ass at it, but little less than before)
What I didn't like so far is working with animations and sprite sheets. AnimationPlayer has very bare-bones visualization of your anim frames and setting timing is just huge pain in the ass. On the plus side you can key literally any property of any given node (default game objects for Godot) on scene, which can have variety of non-animation related uses (like turning AnimationPlayer into neat state machine). As for the sprite sheets, editor can't automatically slice them into frames properly, so you have to manually space your frames inside sprite sheet image itself.
Overall, I think it's good alternative for Unity if you plan to make 2D pixel stuff.

I'm very new and have been working on a bunch of random stuff to try to learn art/pixel art specifically. Looking for any and all feedback/criticism, because I have no experience with this.
Also is it preferred to upload a blown up version for easier viewing or leave it as is?

how come modern pixel art looks so different compared to stuff from the 80s and 90s? even if you start from the snes onwards which eliminates most color limit issues you can still instantly tell even if the modern pixel art is well made. been trying to figure that out for a while. there's something about how people placed the pixels back then that has a very specific aesthetic I don't know.

what a cool thread.
Did anyone of you enter the Terraria armor contest for the last update? Feels like one of you entered it.

>>5074928
Old graphics limitations, like the mentioned palettes, and sprite size limitations. Artist had to be extremely deliberate in the way things were drawn. You could almost say that old pixel art looked good because of the specific limitations that they had to work with. A lot of modern pixel art is rather traditional, but aided by the freedom of better software and graphics capabilities.

>>5075186
There was an armor contest? That's pretty cool

>>5074676
your pixel skills looks corect, work on your art

Made two more factions since last time I posted. Here's the first one, they are domestic robot reconditioned for war.

>>5075750
And the complete Undead Animal Roman Empire

>>5075750
I love the horse and leg gun

>>5071949
But can you stop pretending like you are not OP, its quite obvious by how retarded you are.

>>5075745
but what does that mean? that's literally the least helpful thing I've been told

>>5076395
You're good at pixels, so work on your artistic skills. Not her though.
