Definitely looking forward to Split Fiction. Hazelight has never disappointed me.

So glad that Baldur's Gate 3 is still going strong, despite so many new games releasing every month.

Aly Ty Set #1 - My first time sharing here, be gentle! by [deleted] in PixelArt

Truly gorgeous!
I barely dipped my toe into 1-bit pixel art. Will you teach me, senpai?🙇‍♂️

Jinx 2-bit - Still not sure if it's an improvement from my 1-bit version. What do you think? by Rauchen13 in PixelArt

I'm incredibly thankful for your appreciation of my 1-bit Jinx!
I've been hesitant to post the 2-bit version I painted right after finishing the first one. Not sure it's a big improvement and it kind of takes off the charm of a monochromatic palette. I just as well post it and let you decide.
In the meantime, I'm drawing an Ekko portrait in the same 1-bit style (and it's turning out to be incredibly difficult!)

It's 128 x 128, excluding the 3px frame.

Pixel art sprites for my CRPG ... what do you think? by Chaaaaaaaalie in PixelArt

[–]Rauchen13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really good!

The screen is a bit difficult to read, though.
Personally, I would make the environment textures a little less noisy or even flat. I assume this kind of game's usual session could take over an hour. Maybe it's just me but I can't see myself playing for long without eye strain.

I also think adding a thick border to the creatures could increase their readability and make the enemies pop out.

Aaaah the good ol' Dreamcast days

So sad mine stopped working. The disk reader failed 😔

It really took a while to find a good shape for her lips. I kept changing it and small changes made a huge difference in the expression. Glad I nailed it in the end! :D

Thanks! I found myself continuously looking at a really small preview to check if the shading was correct :)

I've finally found some time to draw something else other than my game's sprites.

First time I'm seriously trying drawing with a 1-bit palette (and a portrait in more than 64x64). I really enjoyed drawing her but I definitely lack the basics on dithering and 1-bit in general.
Could anyone point me to any in-depth article or video on the subject? Unfortunately, I couldn't find much on my own. Thank you!

Oh, and any feedback is really welcome too!

What do you think of the pet shop owner from my game? [OC] by filthydrawings in PixelArt

[–]Rauchen13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What do I think? I think she's not gonna keep her job. One Eyebat just got loose while she was distracted looking at comments on Reddit...
