I have an obsession with spriting gemstones. They look so awesome in pixels XD
-
Here's a real rough idea. Kinda depends on the winds direction. And the fabric. :/ sorry this was the best I can do.

I can knit and thread a needle pretty well. Perhaps I was a little old lady in a past life.

Okay, here's the newer version. Tweaked some things and made the base silver. Your shading's not that bad Spooky. Might I suggest playing with the colors a bit? Also try dithered shadows. http://kitted.deviantart.com/art/DITHERING-TUTORIAL-Basics-69747353 for a crash course in dithering. And the style matches wonderfully.

*grabs defibrillator* CLEAR! Me keeps topic alive by posting! I decided to try and really practice animating something harder than what I've been doing. This may or may not end up in a game... Any suggestions?

Cool art (you can see the heavy Digimon influence in this one, but that's not bad) Holy cows, just checked the Kickstarter page. You guys are getting so close! Onwards to victory and good luck!!! -
How do I do a tile animation for say a volcano?
charlesthehurst replied to undefind's topic in Editor Support and Discussion
That Volcano (which seems to be pretty popular) is meant to be used as an event graphic. -
Hey guys, I added a poll to probe ideas for what people might be looking for. As I've been exploring the realm of pixel-ly goodness, it seems I mostly forgot about my resource thread and now I want to try and contribute stuff again. I have a few ideas in the works but nothing solid enough to show progress for. If you at least vote in the poll, I'll have something to work off of. I'd really love for suggestions and comments (and as always critique) here in the thread as well.

So, here's Ralph with a four frame Idle pose. With two different sized gifs to show the animation. (Yes, totally aware the colors got messed up) I'm trying to do some major animating practice. Who knows, I might come up with some animated stuff for people to use. Gifs in spoiler EDIT: Some stills of Actor 1, 2 and 3. Opinions, comments, want to see more of this?

I'm now a dragon. Rawr!

Jonnie, why are you still a rebel princess?

Read this: http://finalbossblues.com/thinking-in-color/ And this: http://finalbossblues.com/read-between-the-pixels/ And most importantly this: http://finalbossblues.com/using-and-choosing-colors/ Yes, it pretty much is trial and error XD There is this tool which helps with experimentation: http://www.pixelfor.me/crc/

A color ramp is all the colors you are using (the base color, shadow colors, highlight color, etc.) This is a color ramp. Basically, you want to change the important values of the color as you make a color ramp. Brightness (from dark to light, to create shading and highlight colors) Saturation (how vivid a color is, less saturated will look greyish) Hue (colors can shift slightly into other colors such as reddish oranges or yellowish greens) For example, a blue color ramp would normally have a blue-purple as the darkest color and a blue-green as the brightest.

Don't kid yourself Spooky, those faces are actually pretty good. I really like the style, and the way you did the eyes is gorgeous. One thing I would suggest is to change the way you outline inside borders. Take a close zoom and see what I mean. And try hue shifting your color ramps.

Got offered the chance to be assistant manager at my work. 0_0 Mind you I've only worked there about 3 and a half months.

Animated Battler- Ralph (and Friends)
charlesthehurst replied to charlesthehurst's topic in Artwork Gallery
I'm still working on these guys, IRL stuff is getting in the way right now though :/ Anyhoo, here's another example, with a slight change in style. -
I could seriously sit here and bitch all night about all the ways I hate developing yellow and skin tone palettes for pixel/sprite art.

This game seems a lot like Amazing Island, which I find wonderful. I like where you guys are going with this. (I'm liking the polish I'm seeing, but now I'm super jealous XD ) Now shut up and take my seal of approval continue onward to glory and blah blah blah.... -
For the first time in years I asked somebody out. This Hurst is so nervous right now. X_X
-
You're right, it does look bulky. But meh, still a WIP. (Animation is a toughie, but you can do it!) XD

The sleeping sprites are Dai's. http://www.tekepon.net/fsm/modules/imgbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=717&forum=2 Looks like EME for the guard soldier dudes. Not too sure on the blood... http://www.ultimateam.pl/viewtopic.php?t=9417 or http://pixelhixel.forumotion.net/t11-pixel-blood or ??? http://www.rpgmakervx.net/lofiversion/index.php/t15602.html

Side view is so hard X_X But I tried my best to throw together an example.
-
That first one looks good. I think it was sticking out too much. Looks awesome now.
-
The arm still looks funny. Try moving it less.
-
Work on your shading. And hue shift your color ramps. I like both of them. I think they're rather well done. Couple of things I find odd: His collar is a bit weird in the first one. It seems too big, and doesn't really look good with the head bobbing as it is now. His forward arm is a weird shape (the stiff movement makes this more apparent) Love the protective stance. It works well for the character.
I think color picking is super fun, sometimes I spend way too long making palettes though....
