Looks pretty good. I like the effect of his mouth being drawn over his collar. Reminds me of the cartoons I used to watch when I was young.

@Mr. Pimpy: I don't know why, I think it's the colours and overall feel, but it kind of reminds of the nes sections in the game Yume Nikki. Not that it's a bad thing; those pixels are awesome. I'm not sure if you have plans to do so, but I'd suggest adding some sort of detail to the grass. Not something wide-spread, but just something to break the green up a bit. Are these sprites and the like just for fun, or do you have a game planned with these? Given the atmosphere given with these, I'd be interested it seeing them being used in a game or something.

That's exactly the effect of going after =D. Awesome of you to recognize that!

The problem I see is that Cecil seems way too stiff, almost like a statue instead of an actual person/dog/LIVING THING.

I have the game engine and plot figured out but I keep changing the style of it. (Plus I haven't been able to find any programmers willing to stick by me.) I think I'm going to stick with this style, though, as it looks original and really suits my taste.

Btw is Yume Nikki any good? Looks like a very unique game.

[SpacemanDan]

No programmers? That's a real shame. You've definitely a more unique style, and I really like the feel it gives.

Yume Nikki's a very unique game indeed, and I'm not sure if I can really explain it properly. It's interesting, going around and doing all sorts of sight-seeing and whatnot. There's no enemies to kill, no established story or way to lose. The atmosphere it creates is very interesting and is what kept me going. They're so strange, interesting and even disturbing, but it all adds to the effect, imo. And the abilities (known as 'effects' in the game) range from useful to just downright odd. There is an end, but I always found it more fun to just roam and explore and to find weird little things and all that fun stuff. I think the most interesting part is just seeing where you'll end up next. It's not like any game I've ever played, I can say that for certain.

I'd say give it a shot and wander around for awhile. It's definitely not a game for everybody, but it's worth giving a shot at least. I mean, it's free. There's nothing to lose.

Hey everybody, it's been a little while. So I decided to post a few pictures

First, here's a little animated pixel art of me with a gun walking:


And then here are a few traditional, graphite drawings:

Barn Owls
Natures Cry For Help
Happy The Clown

Enjoy

The animation is smooth as hell... but it looks fake seeing as the upper body doesn't move much. Give him a "bob"ish thing, where he bobs slightly up and down. I'm certain it'll help

[TetriTek]

Yeah, I've been told that a lot, but I'm done working on that guy for now, that was an old project for a game I was going to make, but my computer crashed.. so.. But thanks

He reminds me of Streets of Rage 2...was he modeled after that style? It looks great none-the-less, but yeah, needs "bobbage" .

What happens when Cecil meets Brian and Stewie?. Exactly what one would expect; relative questions, and confusion.

[Mr. Pimpy]

@Pregnant_Cow: Loving your art, man. The legs of that sprite are especially fantastic.

Lol, that looks funny, but cool at the same time.

Also, now you can all meet Cecil's best friend, Raiden! It also shows my first attempt at shadows.

Two basic tips for shadows: 1) Choose a light source and stick with it. If there are multiple ones, than shadows that are from different directions would make sense, but there is a lot of wonky shading goin on there that makes it hard to follow the shadows (the head vs. the arm vs. the chest vs. the legs).

Second, if you want shadows to look really good, always apply three levels to them. A dark one, an intermediate, and the base color. This is easily done in photoshop if you have that, or even MS Paint to some degree. It just looks slightly better that way, but not overdone.

You should seriously consider making a game one of these days, you're pixel art is amazing.
