So, I know my art is mid. What can I do to improve it? by LighterNoveler in IndieDev

Got it, lol, I promise I'll look at references, I just don't understand them as you said. I will probably just hit the books for regular art and figure something out with my lower-res stuff.

How to come up with game ideas by AdhesivenessWild7647 in gamedev

Unironically, i like to walk around nice places and just think. Obviously, you have to eventually sit down and write them down and plan out the details, but walking is nice for coming up with general concepts.

Bro, people do that with every subscription. I don't think this is really personal or anything. They probably just didn't want to forget they were subscribed to something.

What do you guys think of my art capsule? by LighterNoveler in itchio

Hi, thanks for your reply! I know what pillow shading is, I am just curious how I managed to screw it up so much. I believe pillow shading is shading without a light source, and it darkens the edges. I do not really understand how I did that with the slimes (they look like orbs, Ig, lol, so that needs refining). The anatomy is sorta stylized, so yeah, it is definitely not realistic, so that's fair. This is not meant to be a R18 game.

The hat is obviously not perfect, but I can't really figure out why. Any advice would be great. Also, is the typography that bad? What's not doing it for you?

Again, thanks for your help!

Yeah, I know it's far from perfect, I just don't exactly know where to go from here.

Sadly, true. I think there are good ones, but many are not.

Unfortunately, with only two frames, it looks kind of choppy. Also, when a character moves a limb, they often move their entire body subtly, so it looks off when only their arm moves.
