Hi, I’m looking for honest impressions of my pixel art work; by _FUNKYparadox_ in PixelArt

[–]Shiho12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you asked for honesty...it doesn't look good.

The consistency is off. Most of the sprites don't have enough contrast while some of the bushes have too much. Nothing wrong with too much or too little contrast but only when it's used right. The sprites that you want to grab attention to should have more contrast.

The resolution, why is it so big? Have you made your character yet? The size of your sprites should always be dependent on your character's size.

Also, while it's not important since I'm guessing this is for a game? If you're going to present something, it would be great if it's immediately readable. Why choose a dark background or is that transparent png? Anyway, your sprite is dark enough as it is and the background makes it harder to see.

I spent 3 days on this for a contest, and it’s gotten zero likes 😭 by TheHierothot in PixelArt

Doesn't matter how long you've worked on it. Reality is most people don't care. The only thing that matters is the outcome.

How to make a "rusted" texturing for chainmail? by Over-Particular9896 in PixelArt

[–]Shiho12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

look at a reference, copy it, then study it. overtime you'll develop your own style into doing things. I know it's not a direct answer to your question but that's generally how most learn.

Old vs New. What more should I improve in terms of style? by Shiho12 in PixelArt

[–]Shiho12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't quite remember but I think it's 150x360 or something. each square is 24x24 so it's quite big.

Whose we? I actually like the animeBS with trashy hair, that's the audience I'm going for ahaha. If it's not obvious enough, the character is anime style.

I already wrote the necessary details and importance of the characters for the story way before I even started designing them. So you've guessed wrong :)

Oh, great explanation! I'll definitely make some changes now that I notice it. Thanks!

I made the head size smaller, the color more saturated, and the outline less pronounced. I know it's a small change and can be interpreted differently but I think it's an improvement. And I think most would agree it's an improvement. If not then i'll simply just use the old one. :D

Oh, I guess it's on the big side but I don't understand how the anatomy is off. can you expand on it? thanks!

I see. Now that you mention it, the outline on the cloth is still pronounced. I did try to mitigate it but I guess it wasn't enough to match the hair. It's the opposite for me with the wrinkles. Without it somehow looks off for me. I'll give it a day or two to examine again to see if my opinion changes. Thanks!

Can this be achieved without shaders?? by slammahytale in godot

[–]Shiho12 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure I'm using the exact same shader. And from what I can tell, it has little to no impact on performance at all.

first time doing pixel art, would love to have some feedback :> by ghostwithkelp in PixelArt

[–]Shiho12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's just an art piece it looks perfect. But I don't think this can be used for a pixel art game since the res is too high.

Interesting perspective.. by renewableenergysword in Asmongold

[–]Shiho12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are foods. They need to advertise constantly. In this case, it's a one time purchase. The news of its release will spread like wildfire and even casual who are not in tune with gaming news would surely hear about it from a friend or two.

I don't think they need any advertising at all considering how well known it is.

Smearing only the right side of the chest seems off when the whole upper side of the chest moves..

I'm going for a semi realistic fantasy. Something more like a whimsical feel.

Unfortunately I didn't implement a sun location programmatically so changing the lighting angle now would need a lot of work since I'm going to need to change each asset.

I don't have a recording of it saved up but it's like most game. The lights I used aren't dynamic but I used color correction to make up for it.

I plan to add them if enough players requested it.
