I like the death animation. "I have failed, I must go now. Farewell"

This is when I imagine the hilarity which may happen if certain things are glichy. Such as targeting your own body parts to eat.

You eat your own head
YOU HAVE BEEN STRUCK DOWN!

Hum. x_x

Ha, it's fine! Though by now it seems like it might be easier to just redo it... :P
(I'm kidding, I can wait.)

So i found a program that renders 3d models as pixel art. Unfortunetely, I can't read Japenese, but I managed to get a 3d model of mine to render.

Spoiler: 3D Model (click to show/hide)

It looks too "evil" (which it shouldnt) what with the narrow slit eye shading. I don't quite get how the shading works with the program (and it was fiddly enought to get anythong other than a solid colour).

Still, pretty cool stuff. I can't wait to work out how to get animations working :o

You can do that with just Blender/GIMP, too, if you don't want to read Japanese.

(This used materials that emit a bit of light themselves, and the 'Edge' option under 'Post Processing' in the 'Render' tab. I also set the alpha to transparent instead of sky.)
When Blender renders an animation, it saves each frame as a .png. (or .jpg or whatever else you might feel like setting it to.)
Use GIMP to File > 'Open as Layers...' those output .pngs.
Image > Mode > Indexed. This will let you limit the palette, and auto-reduce everything to the nearest color. I used 8 for that.
File > 'Export as...' somenamehere.gif. Save as animation.

That's pretty neat, but I think the edges look better (more pixel-arty and less cell shaded) in the other program.

Hey, that's some really nice binary pixel art there, GUNINANRUNIN! The simple designs of Adventure Time translated really well to 2-color pixel art, and there's a lot of charm here for such simple designs. Nice job!

Anyways, after a week or two of procrastination, school work and wasting my time on miniprojects, I decided I'd get back to working on my DF graphics set. I've been in the process of refining my old sprites for the past few weeks, and just today I got to finally draw some new stuff. Here are all of the sprites for the next_underground creatures!


Spoiler: Creature names (click to show/hide)

I've drawn 25 sprite sheets for this graphics set, but I decided to post this one for feedback because I'm not sure how people will like my interpretations. Unlike the more mundane animals, there are few "canon" images of these creatures, so I'm all up for your own interpretations.

Thanks for the compliments, I'd really love to do something more impressive though.

Those look good. Not quite certain what I could say about them in particular. I'm not any good at pixel art, so I don't know what my thoughts are worth. They are vibrant, well defined, and the style is nice.

Nope, I can't seem to make anything that looks even remotely good.
