[Nirur Torir]

Chocobo turkey dressed as a pilgrim.

I'd planned to draw it less minimalistic, but I couldn't get a pose I liked, and it doesn't look chocobo-y enough besides.

Speedpaint samurai...robot thing. Had to do something instead of sitting around sipping coffee while it was snowing like crazy.

Id just drop a little pixel art here.I cant figure out how to make my pixels better.Ive got aseprite , too.
Help pls.

Some bad city scene.

Astronaut standing on a rock , staring at an immobile alien behemoth.

I tried 3D , and it went horrible.

Random sprites.

[Bauglir]

Couple of things I can think of.

Composition is a huge one. With the city, you probably want more buildings, and they should overlap so you can only see part of one at any given time. You also need to pick a lighting direction, and I think you'd do well to incorporate perspective. As it stands, it looks like the viewer is looking at every object in profile, but this is impossible without some very crafty lens shenanigans. We've gotta have corners in places, and they should show that objects have depth (for example, in that 3D car thing, parallel lines on the vehicle shouldn't appear parallel to the viewer).

The astronaut should be scaled up. I get that it's some kind of landscape, but I can't see much more. I don't know if you need any more detail, but you should at least double its dimensions (so that each current pixel is a 2x2 block of identical pixels).

More generally, it looks to me like you're building a scene in your head and then you're trying to put that concept into art directly. This is a really common problem! You need to draw what a person viewing that scene would see, not a symbolic representation of it. That's why things like perspective, lighting, and texture are important.

So uhhhh, I've played too much of Total Annihilation: Kingdoms campaigns lately and then I looked at middle ages' art andddd

Spoiler: dunno but I made it (click to show/hide)

I see what you did there.
You grabbed your good ol' trusty MSPaint , told him to give you a pencil , a brush ,a bucket and big ass palet and you started to work.


Resized.

Is the only thing that works on my ancient compy v;

@KillerHP: The landscape is pretty cool, but i'd really like it if the resolution was high enough for me to make out uh... Anything, to be brutally honest. Making good low-resolution sprites is actually quite hard, so sticking to slightly bigger ones is a good idea to begin with, even if it takes longer time. Your 3D sprites are at a good size; small enough to not take a thousand years to make, but big enough that you can see what's going on, and more importantly, big enough that you can't rely entirely on peoples minds filling in the blanks. (you could probably get away with a bit smaller than that, though)
Also, if it's a star up in the corner, then it should probably be round, just saiyan'. I'd offer more advice, but alas, my hands are still hurting. :<

Niiiiiiiiiice. How people make speedpaints look so good is beyond me. :v

also things

Spoiler: HELIPROPTER for acetech (click to show/hide)

nevermind the rogue line near the propeller because I CAN'T ERASE IT also the tail thing sucks

Spoiler: also swordsnaek being like *swish* (click to show/hide)

fiddling a bit with how he might actually look beyond "snake with helmet and sword"

somehow swordsnaek has managed to become one of my own favourite internal characters

Turn this into a webcomic. I dare you.

[Haspen]

Uhhh, left side of HELIPROPTER says 'vaguely 3D'. Tail side says 'flat 2D'. My brain is gettin' confuzzled a bit ;v

[Egan_BW]

I would love to see more of action snek.

[Shook]

Oh don't worry, this isn't the last you'll see of SIR SWORDSNAKE SERPENTIUS THE FIRST, ROYAL SNAKE KNIGHT. At all. You'll probably get tired of him before i do. ;o

Uhhh, left side of HELIPROPTER says 'vaguely 3D'. Tail side says 'flat 2D'. My brain is gettin' confuzzled a bit ;v

Hence the "derp", but i can't be arsed to fix it right now. :v
Honestly, given how much i just bungled my way through this, i'd be very surprised if that was the only thing wrong with it. I mean fuck, i didn't even consider perspective at all!

Turn this into a webcomic. I dare you.

Alas, if only my brain was productive enough to do something like that. Swordsnaek himself isn't actually that interesting a personality, but i'm sure he could somehow find himself on a quest to slay the PRIME EVILDOER, hee hee.

[Cthulufaic]

He could adventure with his good friends, Scimitar Salamander and Crossbow Crocodile(or alternatively, Axe Alligator)

[heydude6]

Well, i had a burst of inspiration and drew this:



Or if you change the resoloution, This:




It looks nice, but it feels a little... off

[KillerHP]

Speaking of computers.Anyway , i dont know why there aint any color wheels in the aseprite old (and free) versions... :c


"Sir , we got another BSOD on that old terminal...."
