So I need help with this

I know this piece isn't so good and I'll post the reworked version next
I tought it felt wonky so on the corrected piece I used the proper tools to have straight and smooth lines

My biggest issue now are the small details, the lunar surface looks bland, the lunar base is too plain and the earth and sun look too cartoony.

What can I do?

[Anonymous No.2647726]

>>2647708
I suggest working on a much smaller scale. Not because that's more suitable for pixel art, but because there's so much empty space that such a big canvas isn't necessary. Besides that, I suggest improving the moon's shading. Consider the earth's cast shadow, the gradation caused by the moon's circular shape, and the crater's shadows.

You can certainly make pixel art with Photoshop, but for what it is, it’s pretty overkill.

The "art" flaws in this are more glaring than the "pixelart" flaws. You should learn some basic anatomy first if you want to make figures at this level of detail. If that's not your objective, simplify the construction and do something smaller because simpler figures require way less shapes (and less anatomical knowledge)

I like it, I can tell what you were going for but I feel you need some other background elements to help with scale. I see the lighthouse thing but is it suppose to be the ocean? What about clouds? Water?

Also when he steps you have the water doing the jurassic part bit... You should have the tree react to the steps too. Also, don't make the reactions instantly happen right as he steps. To push the scale, have him take a step and a few frames later have the tree/grass/water get blown back by the shockwave. if you had water in the ocean as well you could see it create tiny waves, disappear under the visual cliffline, and then have it hit the foreground hard and fast.

Any tips to make top/down (3/4) sprites?

Seems like the hardest thing to do. No wonder everyone is making Metroidvania games.

[Anonymous No.2662921]

>>2662570
It's not that hard. There's a ton of reference material. Just subtly rip off zelda/pokemon/whatever top down games you enjoy.

Anybody got any advice for the water tiles here? I'm not 100% pleased with everything but I'm totally blanking on the water.

If anyone could even point me in the direction of a 16 bit game that you felt had good water tiles I'd appreciate it.

[Anonymous No.2663436]

>>2662921
My problem is drawing the line between simplified sprites and more detailed ones. See for Metroidvania games you can increase the size of your sprite as much as you'd like, there is no drawback. In top/down, I feel like it's either 16x16, 16x32 and that's all. If you try to go over that the perspective will feel off... well perhaps it's possible to make it good but as far as I know there aren't any game that goes over the sizes I just told. I couldn't find any references for those.

I have no problem at all when it comes to monsters, environment and all but I feel stuck when it comes to the main sprite, and without the main sprite being mostly done it's difficult to go make much more progress. In the end I feel like I'll have to settle for 16x32 no matter what.

As for your water I'm not sure, sorry, but your game is looking quite pretty so far. Do you post progress anywhere? I'd be curious to see what your MC looks like.

What he said is that the use of pure black (and pure white I guess) is discouraged. A lot of pixel art replaces the black with extremely dark, almost black violet shades.

If you watch some old sprites and place the color picker on the outlines, you'll notice its color. It looks like black, but is actually a very dark violet.

[Anonymous No.2670838]

Pure black is fine if you know how to use it. If you forgo it, no reason to choose dark purple over all other dark colors, it should depend on how you plan to use the color rather than a random rule that purple=good (or black=bad for that matter.)

It's a common noob mistake to use black incorrectly, so when an experienced artist says "be careful when using pure black", noobs make simplistic rules like "never use black!" and repeat them with authority across the internet.

[Anonymous No.2670857]

>>2670838

The only time I've seen pure black was used is in those old nintendo sprites with really limited color palettes.

>Pure black is fine if you know how to use it.

I agree, but it's better to simply leave it outside instead of waste your time trying to figure out any way to implement it. It's an unnatural color and it really stands out compared to the rest of colors.

https://ianstormtaylor.com/design-tip-never-use-black

Not only noobs say it, but experienced craftsmen have pronounced the "don't touch black" line. Because "being careful" is simply a waste of time, when you can simply pick a more natural and better looking color.

I think it's better to learn how to use colors effectively rather than ban certain colors

Pixel art rarely strives for naturalism

It's fine as a tip for noobs, if it's presented with caveats, but as a black-and-white rule (har har) it doesn't work.

Nice strawman. Pick a more natural and better looking color ≠ ban that color.

>The problem with the use of black and white deserves a paragraph to itself. Generally, the use of these two colors in a pure state (#000000 and #FFFFFF) is discouraged. However, there are two exceptions (one for each color) and the dwarf at the beginning of this tutorial (pic related) is concerned with these two exceptions. We can use pure white (# FFFFFF) on very bright surfaces (effects and magic spells) or highly reflective (metal, precious stones). This is the case of the dwarf and his metal armor. The case of pure black (#000000) is more subtle: It can't be used for shadows, because in reality nothing is every completely black; there is usually a very subtle color there (sometimes purple). It shouldn't be used for decorations or contours. The only appropriate place to use it is as an outline to make characters more visible in a game, highlighting them above their surroundings. However, we strongly caution against using black "inside", as the black separates details inside the sprite, and makes it look like a rough draft.

which is what I said earlier. general tips != hard rules.

Their advice about using black on the interior of sprites is a great rule of thumb for noobs, because they often abuse black, but someone with more experience managing a palette can pull it off easily. It's just a matter of having darker colors in your palette so there isn't a sudden jump to pitch black, it's that stark contrast that usually creates issues.

You've been greentexting an argument from authority about not using black, except in extremely limited circumstances. I've provided examples of black used beyond these limited scenarios (from artists who seem to be more experienced than your authority in the tutorial, at least at the time he wrote the tutorial, judging by the example image you used)

>The only time I've seen pure black was used is in those old nintendo sprites with really limited color palettes.
I've given examples of much more recent work with much less restricted palettes, and even explained HOW you can fit black into your palette.
>it's better to simply leave it outside instead of waste your time trying to figure out any way to implement it
>"being careful" is simply a waste of time, when you can simply pick a more natural and better looking color.
You'll have to forgive me for misinterpreting, but this sure seems like you'd advocate excluding black rather than learning how to properly include it. And you haven't addressed my argument that pixel art often strives for styles that are more graphic than naturalistic.

[Anonymous No.2670945]

>>2670915
>pixel art often strives for styles that are more graphic than naturalistic.

The same color theory principles are applied everywhere, and they should be specially enforced in pixel art, where it's way easier to give eyestrain to everyone seeing your work.

>I've given examples of much more recent work with much less restricted palettes, and even explained HOW you can fit black into your palette.

Less restricted because they fit black? I don't see how much of a restriction that is. ""Breaking"" the inexistent rules to make your work good-looking is called common sense, not some kind of bold trick.

> from artists who seem to be more experienced than your authority in the tutorial

You can't shout all noobs to keep making things that will end in a mistake, simply because "experienced artists" do that very same thing.

>>2670903
>It's just a matter of having darker colors in your palette so there isn't a sudden jump to pitch black.

If you already have darker colors, pitch black is useful only for outlining.

[Anonymous No.2671297]

>>2670945
>If you already have darker colors, pitch black is useful only for outlining.
not true, did you even look at the above examples?

I think this debate has become largely semantic. My only point was that rules like "don't use black, use purple" are simplistic and come with caveats. And you seem to agree that pure black and pure white have their uses.

So the only remaining point of contention is the extent of pure black's usefulness in a palette. And I still disagree that it's "only useful for outlining" or "only seen in those old nintendo sprites", and have provided multiple examples (by "experienced craftsmen") that use black effectively outside of that narrow window.

>Hi Sheldon!

>Since you know perfectly well what I mean by oekaki there is no need to go full aspergers here.
that's the thing- the term isn't as exact or as universal as you seem to think. it just means 'drawing', but in certain pixel art communities, it has come to mean 'digital art created without the use of automatic tools that isn't controlled enough to be le pure pixel art'

the problem with that is 'pixel purism' is a myth, so 'oekaki' is just used by pixel purists to denigrate anything that doesn't fit their strict definitions, and it creates this artificial standard of TRUE PIXEL ART that is 100% controlled down to the last pixel.

>It looks as if it was painted with a stylus without any refinement.
there is obvious refinement at the pixel level, it just isn't refined to the last pixel. also watch the videos and tell me the pixel art isn't great, you can't judge an entire game's worth of art based on a cloud.

[Anonymous No.2673756]

>>2673701
>Hi Sheldon!
wut
>Since you know perfectly well what I mean by oekaki there is no need to go full aspergers here.
that's the thing- oekaki isn't an exact term. it means 'drawing', but certain pixel communities have redefined it to mean "digital art created without the use of artificial tools that is still too uncontrolled to be PURE pixel art." The problem with that is who gets to decide how much control is enough to be "pure"? It becomes a totally subjective term that creates an artificial standard for pixel art where every last pixel must be thoughtfully placed, which is highly impractical for larger projects. So words like "oekaki" and "NPA" become catch-alls to denigrate anything that doesn't fit these artificial standards. The work here is pixel art, plain and simple.

I'm not even sure if the clouds in that image ARE finished since the game itself wasn't finished when that screenshot was released, and if they are then they're a low-contrast background element subject to constant parallax scrolling, so a few misplaced pixels aren't going to have much of an effect on the viewer. The foreground elements and character sprites are much more important.

>It looks as if it was painted with a stylus without any refinement.

Hey everyone! I have a question. I'm a beginner, so if you call me a oob- you'll be right. Now:

I want to make some pixel art in 8-bit and 16-bit color palettes. So, is there way to set up Photoshop to only work in those palettes? Or are there any pixel art softwares that let you use color presets? I would be very grateful for any tips. Thank you!

[Anonymous No.2675460]

>>2675405
Processing power (8-bit, 16-bit) doesn't matter, these terms have lost their meaning. Palettes used by 8-bit systems varied widely, and palettes used for 16-bit systems were so large that they're hardly restrictive or iconic of an era. 8-bit systems also had restrictions not on which colors were used, but how many and how (sprites or tiles could only contain so many colors, etc). Which is only important if you're actually trying to work in 8-bit restrictions.

To actually address your question- I know that grafx2 allows you to set a particular palette, not sure about other programs but I'd imagine any decent program designed specifically for pixel art should have this option.

I just started doing pixel art, learning how to make "good" lines and stuff. I talked to some people about using clusters, and they responded with

they're not. they're the basic building blocks of pixel art, some artists might not be aware of the term, but they're still using clusters.

the tutorial in the original post gives a brief description:

Im new to this thread and love what im seeing, what is the best program for creating pixel animations. I know there are two on Steam, Asesprite and Hexel 2, how are those?

Also, what about creating Pixel art in a program like Clip studio paint?

[Anonymous No.2677537]

>>2677491
Aseprite is the best in my opinion. If you're not already attached to any program yet there's no reason to not go for it honestly. You try it out for free by just googling "aseprite download" and picking a version already compiled and uploaded somewhere.

Pyxel Edit otherwise is good if you plan to spite a lot of tiles, etc.

If you want a simple program yet efficient you have http://www.piskelapp.com/ which is free.

[Anonymous No.2681043]

>>2681004
Facial movements need alot of accurate movement to look good, for example the lower eyebrows move slightly up and aren't static when the eyes are closed. The whole head would also be moving slightly, which would move the hair, tilt the face a little, overall tons of small details.
Animation is very advanced, it's best to stick to still images unless you are ready for a long, long path of practice and frustration until you produce anything you can be happy with.

if you want objects on the moon surface the horizon should be flat. curved horizon will put the camera far from the surface. shadows do not cast onto a lack of objects only objects. the size of the sun should be more scaled, original looks like the sun is approaching earth.

Tracing is a double edged sword, on one hand you will be able to create stuff you can be happy with, but on the other hand you won't actually get any skill from it.
The best thing I can recommend is to not trace, but to keep the image open and try to redraw it yourself. You will feel like you can't redraw your reference no matter what at first, but after a while you'll get better and better. Other than that, what >>2681833 >>2682071 are saying is true, forcing yourself to practice every day is the only real way to get really good.

You've got issues with the outlines being jagged and clumping together too much. It causes the form to look misshapen. Your contrast is all over the place as well, as in there's a little too much in the hair and dark-blue sections and not enough in the pink areas. I'd suggest refining your outline first, then putting in your values before coloring. Might also wanna look into dithering and making a color palette so the pieces fit together, so to speak.

that head size makes her look like a child

I guess I shouldn't be surprised when somebody makes a "lewd" game here they mean "game where you fuck kids"

Hey, man. I'm developing a game and it could really use your pixeling skills My spriter is looking for some people to share the workload with. It's for adults, though so I hope you don't get easily offended. Search hongfire for "lucid erotic wet dream" and see if you like it. If so, make an account and post some pixel art. This goes for everybody, too. We're recruiting artists as the engine is pretty complete and we need some resources like bad.

Good I'm not.
I keep getting a random IP kick for proxying (?)

Anyways, I wanted to make a game, but most of my art experience is with 3D (Maya, Zbrush, etc) so I figured pixel art would be a decent way to go.

Ignore pillow shading, still learning.

Made this for a game me and my friend are messin around with. Gonna try to animate next.

[Anonymous No.2706482]

is it okay to change the opacity when drawing smoke and stuff? i feel like a hack for some reason when I do that

[Anonymous No.2706496]

I usually have bad banding and dithering when I shade. It's basically a second outline, so I'm working hard to change that

tips?

[Anonymous No.2706552]

>>2706482
Any common technology should be able to display alpha channels by this time. So nothing wrong memory wise. As an art statement, it's better to avoid transparent pixels and just predetermine your lighting situations, it'll look much more tied in. Also it makes recoloring much easier to deal with in programs like photoshop. But in the end, it really depends on what you're going for. If you can make transparent pixels look good, run-time, then do it. :D

damn that succubus looks like a ho. not even just her looks but also the animation to it too
they did a good job making that thing look/behave as a succubus

[Anonymous No.2706559]

Try making your midtone even more prevalent than it already is, Sounds retarded, I know, but leaving just a few light and shade tones will create enough noise to be noticeable at any scale and you'll have something along the lines of flat shading going on. That's just my opinion, though. With that real estate, you're just gonna have lots of problems with shading. Otherwise some dithering would actually help the image. And try some selective outlining to help your shade tones out.

[Anonymous No.2708326]

>>2708254
Now in this one the animation is shit instead. Also, probably impractical, given that the artist couldn't handle volume and form change.

[Anonymous No.2708362]

>>2708254
That looks pretty good. Did you make it? It would go good as a battle sprite in a turn-based game.

[Anonymous No.2710021]

>>2695474
Here you go man. Looks like the artist doesn't exclusively do sprite work if at all. Probably just a decent animator.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this but...
A project on /vp/ is in dire need of help. We are looking for someone to make 240x112 special location views like the ones in Fire Red/Leaf Green. We already have spriters for our Pokemon (ones who did pic related) but we need background/location artists.
Please help, with love, Pokemon Clover. :^]

We don't have a blog, only a discord.
We used to make threads on vp frequently, but a lack of substance and contributors slacking/leaving the project, has slowed thread production down significantly

Is there a way to keep selections pixelated in SAI after I use the transform tool? Being able to rotate segments would be a lot easier if I didn't have to keep drawing them.

[Anonymous No.2713230]

By using a program that's actually made for pixel artwork.

Not in SAI, as far as I know. You could try RotSprite.

I don't see much pixel art going on, this could easily be done in a higher resolution. You probably have to be a good animator above all else to do stuff like that.

You're using the wrong filter to scale them 2X

I suggest looking into photoshop scaling. I think it was called bicubic to the nearest neighbor. It will look clean when you scale them.
