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

at a glance:

- the sword is slightly at an off-angle, it doesn't quite match up with the apparent direction of the hilt.

- the arms aren't equal. Neither is too short nor too long mind you, it simply seems they are of differing lengths.

- the plume bends in a way that makes it seem fleshy.

- since the knight's body is so square to us, his helmet is a little misleading at first glance. It took me a while to grasp that I was seeing the helmet & the visor turned to the left.

i like how he has genie shoes on.  The perspective seems a bit iffy, though I like the shinyness of his armor.

Thanks, the lighting was the bit I put the most effort into.

Anyway I decided to take your constructive criticism to heart and drew this improved version

The foots seems weird.
Make them the same side....

[hops]

I have a feeling that won't solve anything. I think it's the confused perspective re. the helm that still persist.

[Shook]

HHHHHHHHHHHH

Internet been down for much of today, and since i can't game a lot, i took this as a cue to finally start working on a new menu background for Angry Laser Space.

Spoiler: not done yet though (click to show/hide)

now i just need aliums and stars and fancy space details and a few perspective corrections

and maybe LASERS??!??!?

I really don't understand what's wrong with the perspective, I though it was quite clear that the guy is facing slightly left. Of course, since you're not the first person to complain about the helmet, you're probably right though. Maybe it had to do with the fact that I drew the helmet first, and began focusing on the rest of the body afterwards?

[hops]

The thing is that his head is facing slightly to the left. The rest of the body isn't.

Better already! Steps in the right direction!

I'm probably a bit rusty at pixel art, haven't done any in 2 months I think. But I'm getting back into it, and wanted to know if I missed anything in this pic, is there banding? bad dithering? or whatever else in it?

It's basically concept art for a game I'm making, a human exposed to so much radiation, it turned him into a dwarf.

EDIT: I just NOW realized that I somehow missed his ears, how did I manage that? Maybe they fell off due to the radiation? :/

Something I did for a magazine submission thing. Hopefully I get featured even though it could've easily used another several hours of work, but the deadline was there so I had to call it done xd

Neat mech, but I can't quite tell what it is. I'd say it's professionally cobbled together from unused pieces of other Imperial vehicles, for use by the Empire, which doesn't quite fit my limited knowledge of Imperial policy. (Although the shoulder/hip joint gears don't seem to match.)
No footprints or snow build-up on the mech, my only real complaint.
On first glance, my brain IDs it as flawed CGI. I think it's something to do with the sharp contrasts on the vehicle against the stylized background.
I keep getting that "the shield is flipped" optical illusion. After staring at it for a while, the joints don't look like it could easily hold the shield in front of itself.
I don't like that the human-for-scale is just standing there idle, specifically for scale.

Nice job overall, though. How long did it take?

[TheBiggerFish]

Yeah.  That mech is cool.

[Jopax]

I think it was about 4-5 hours, can't quite remember, most of it done today.

As to what it is, it's some sort of TIE Fighter/AT/ST mashup mecha. And all your criticism is valid, the background was done quickly just so it has a background, didn't have much time to do a proper study of Hoth which this is kinda modelled after. Did consider making the mech painterly itself but that was too much of a pain in the ass and took way too long so I scrapped it. The shield does kinda pivot on the handle so it can be held in front of the mech, I think the actual position is actually accurate if I remember that one video that explained it properly. As far as the little dude goes, there were supposed to be more and some more activity in the base but as before, didn't have the time to fully realise it.

Tho that's what I get for starting it two days before the deadline instead of the week of free time I had :V

Don't get cocky, kid.
