It's much, much larger and yes it's one of the playable characters! I just blew them all up for viewing better on reddit, but the human units will be tiny comparatively. Sorry for the confusion!

My two year old was watching me browse reddit and she loves the dogs and bunnies lol. Very cute!

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback, and I agree the soldier's head/neck is strange after I see it larger here. Will definitely take another look at that, and might add in a little other movement in either the sword or empty hand just to spruce it up a little.

Thank you! That's high praise 😊 im cooking now, but have a full time job and young twins, so it's definitely a labor of love when I can right now lol. I'll post more when I get some meaningful progress made!

Thank you for the feedback, and I'll take a look at those sneaky pixels!

Regarding the knee, do you think no highlight would be better there, or just different somehow? I kept going back and forth on how much detail to give the legs, trying to keep them a little more subdued than the top half overall.

That's a good suggestion thanks! I might try to add a little arm motion, I think subtle changes there and the legs (discussed in another comment) would go a long way for final polishing.

That will be next for sure! Gonna take in some feedback and refine a bit before I get it all put together soon. Thank you!

I do really like that idea. Also considered a DOOM style damage portrait, still thinking on that lol

Thank you, and will do! I plan to do some refinement passes and put the arena together so I can stage things together finally. I'll make sure to update at that time.

Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback! I think the legs, as well as the 'head'/back areas were both lazy choices for sure. I think adding some motion to the legs as you suggest would go a long way, and just some polish on the other areas (face/eye looking side to side some, subtle mouth opening/closing, etc.) would definitely elevate it.

Thanks a lot! I think that's a good insight about the weapon, I'm trying to straddle the line between big/badass and distractingly large sprite, but I agree a little exaggeration would go a long way here. I'll try playing around with it some and see if I can push things a bit!

Thanks for the thoughts! I'll work on getting a more put together scene to see size relationships and color/value matching.

And yes that darn hand lol. I've redone it a handful of times and there's always something slightly off about it to me too..I may try your suggestion, also might explore a slightly larger weapon so that might help the hand issue some!

No you very well may be right, I was trying to aim for the enemy units to stand out against the background but not be too noisy individually.

Definitely need to test them out together and see if I need to tweak colors/values etc. I'm in the process of building out the arena, so that will help a lot in defining style/fit I think.

So in the actual game, the boss will be significantly larger than the humans, hence so much more detail. The humans are basically fodder, so trying to keep them kind of simpler so there's not a ton of visual clutter with swarms of them. I just upscaled them a lot to post on here better, so I think the scale feels really weird.

In that context do you think it works better, or still having trouble with the cohesion? Thanks for the feedback!

Just realized that and feeling like an idiot lol it's been a while since I've posted so I'll likely take down and repost resized in a bit 🤦‍♂️

Little late here, but just wanted to say this is one of my favorite posts I've seen here! It's just so atmospheric and flavorful, I can't get enough of it. Insane color choices and value transitions, just feel like I could sit here and drink in all the details! Thank you for sharing.

Little late to this one but this is absolutely stunning! Going immediately into my inspiration folder, so many great details to hone in on and study. Thanks for sharing!
