Can you even call what she's wearing clothes?
>>257121662
That's adorable
I wonder, are many of these sprites hand-drawn and scanned in for coloring/digitization, or do many of the artists have tablets or really, really good mouse handling?
Asking because I'm trying to get not shit at this stuff.

>Sprites
>.webm welcomed
Holy fuck, why don't we just post .jpegs while we're at it? webmovies are great for 3D titles, but when it comes to pixel art, it's fucking garbage.
>>257122506
Most sprites are either drawn by hand on paper and then clean up on the computer with photoshop, or they're 3D renders that are traced after they're positioned into each pose, then cleaned up in photoshop.
>>257122506
i think you can hand draw, then scan, i thing the easier thing would be a program that convert the image to a certain resolution sprite, most bigger ones are drawn by mouse
top sprite
>>257123325
can we increase the resolution? or would make it look bad?
I think this one is pretty cool
>>257123790
>>257123905
SNK cheated to draw the sprites for kofXIII though.
>>257123790
>>257123302
>>257123178
Not sprites
>>257124071
how did they make them?
>>257124248
3D Model > Rotoscopy > Increase pixel size
>>257124248
Rotoscoping 3D models.
>>257122813
That's what I suspected (minus the Photoshop part), going pure pixel-art seems really, really difficult for anything past a fairly small resolution.
Now, how was PC-98 shit like pic related done? I've been told Deluxe Paint (I have Grafx2, which is a clone), but what kind of wizard could pull that off?
>>257124465
Still looks good. Its not quite "cheating" on the level of GG Xrd.
>>257124248
It's 3D models.
>>257124465
Well, if that's wrong, I don't want them to go back to the "Right" way. KoF13's sprites are pure sex.
>>257120831
>>257121001
>>257121153
more 2hu pls
>>257124561
Not really, In Xrd at least they are honest with them being 3D models.
>>257124561
GG Xrd is more Anime styled rather than Sprite styled. Kof is the one that pixelates the characters to make them look like if they were sprites.
>>257124923
I'd say though Arc did a terrific job to literally make them literally look like sprites. If they kept everything at the side, and NOT rotated in the reveal trailer, everyone would've though "OH THEY'RE KEEPING SPRITES!"
Dumping sprites for the game I'm developing with 4 other guys
They're not made by me, they're made by one of our other guys on the team. I think they're pretty good, what about you?
>>257125415
Here's his overworld sprite
>>257125415
You need a gif to show us.
A good sprite can be easily terrible if th engine its moving on si shitty or if the animation is bad.
>>257125598
>>257125415
I feel like a bit of detail on the outside of his folded wing would be good, but it looks okay.
Does he switch hands when he changes direction?
>>257125947
what is this from?
looks familiar
>>257125415
The shading style is too simplistic, it looks unfinished. Also, that axe swing is atrocious. Tell him he can't take the lazy way out if he wants a quality animation.
>>257126061
That's me, alright.
A lot of people thought the face on Donkey Kong is a picture of me. It's actually not (it's some bitch named Patricia Hernandez).

>>257125415
>>257125598
Poses look stiff and lazy. Colouring isnt very interesting either.
>>257126267
Lol, hey man good luck in your game please make posts here every now and then on the progress.
>>257126202
Well, we're extremely early in developement. The game's barely anything but an idea and a physics engine at this point. Quality spritework isn't that important a priority at this point.
This sprite actually was made by me. I'm very proud of it.
>>257125415
The pose is very static. Assuming that is an enemy and it is in a battle situation, it's pose would definitively not be "standing straight while stretching my arm foward and holding this axe perpendiculary".
Outside of that, the palettes are fine (besides the third one, which could use a bit of darknening), and the shading, while fine in some areas such as the wings, seens randomly selective (no shading in the head or in most of the axe, for example).
>>257126426
I'll be attention-whoring the shit out of my game, don't you worry.

The sprite in the post you replied to is just gonna be his menu icon. You know, like the picture they show on his dialogue boxes when he's talking.

nigga ballin'
>>257126743
It's the same artist under different industry standards. It's much faster to work this way, and it's all about time, getting shit done as quickly as possible.
Blazblue does this, so does Dragon's Crown and the likes of those ultra HD sprites. It makes for more accurate animation and still looks pretty.
Many artists actually feel this was a godsend because they can now create absolutely stunning AND fluid animation without blowing up all their nerves. It's not cheating, it's using tools. 3D models are a tool.
>>257127905
I seem to recall reading they were working on it, but I dont know whether they just gave up on that or what.

they tired to kickstart it for a pitiful sum but no one donated.
>>257127960
I'm speaking relatively.
For an amateur who was fucking around, sure, I guess it ain't bad, but in the grand scene of things, my spriting and animating ability leaves a lot to be desired.
At least, that is the way I see it.
>>257128235
I dunno about you but if I were a crazy mad competent pixel artist I'd draw pixelated pussy lines all the time.

Vanguard Princess.
>>257128624
See, that's how YOU see it.
There are two kinds of artists: those who are overly critical of themselves and never see themselves as good enough (like you) and then there are people who aren't critical enough and just shrug and say "ehh, that's okay" (like me).
Obviously, people like you make much better artists.
>>257128515
But the game has netplay though. Only the steam version doesn't have it
>>257128515
>no one donated

>>257128994
What, source?
>>257129226
Thanks for that. I didn't recognize the characters and so couldn't tell.
>>257124091
Technically they are. Sprites don't have to be pixel art, they just have to be a single small figure. According to their definition, at least.
>>257120074
someone has the source of this game?
>>257124546
Pixel Art in general is pretty difficult. I love classically animating, but animating pixel art is just so damn tedious.

It's a character from Red Earth, a Capcom fighting game.
>>257131381
its a shame that the artwork in that game is comparable to low budget 90's anime.

>>257135154
is this some kinda army commander thing
>>257135154
oh snap, thats why it looks so familiar and good. awesome. Didn't know that they were making a game like this. Aren't they also making a game similar to risk of rain but instead of being space/sci fi themed its going to be paranormal themed in a 1920's noir setting?
>>257135273
I just looked it up, just follow the link in his post bro. Its an alpha of a game hes making apparently.
back to posting worksafe content so you don't cry out of your puss I guess
shame that quality like this is wasted on the background for the most boring of genres. Are there any adventure/platformer/metroidvanias with anything like this level of animation? Aside from maybe la mulana if you're being generous?

>>257127226
Jeez that is a shitty grip on those sticks.
fuck modern "retro" designs like fez and shit like that, why doesn't somebody make a modern game using artwork and animations like this? I imagine the reason why these are relegated to only fighting game backgrounds is because those games barely took anything to run, its just a static stage with 2 variable fighters on screen. Why doesn't somebody use the technology we have now to create games using this artsyle in ways that they couldn't before due to technical limitations.
>>257136493
>>257135926
Because fighting games don't have the screen scrolling for ages, and fighting games have pre-set screen sizes to just slam in the details.

Should have made Ancient Japanese Vidya thread, I don't like posting PC-98 artwork in a sprite threads.
>>257137781
At least they actually did the retro style right. It isn't just something pixelized and shitty, it actually looks like an older game.
>>257137747
This isn't used in game, is it?
>>257137792
That dick piston.
>>257137219
Aquaria, rayman, Braid. Those are what you'll get, ie non-grid but still with element reuse. Fighting game backgrounds can afford to be the way they are because they only need to cover small areas.
>>257137796
this isnt even my thread, I saw it, said "neat" and started contributing like a good, little /v/irgin should.
Fuck whoever made it though, feel free to post any old style graphics, doesn't bother me. cool artwork is cool artwork.
>>257137832
Ahh is this one from garou?
I need to play that game again sometime.
>>257137674
I still have a giant folder of stuff, so I'm not worried.
>>257137219
It's too pricy. Good pixel art generally takes more work than good art by itself, because you need to start with the artwork and then translate it into animated pixels. It's easier just to animate a drawing in Flash or to go with a more basic pixel artstyle for the game.
The reason that SNK and Capcom could get away with it was that they were re-using their artwork in multiple games, so that it eventually paid for itself.
>>257137781
shovelknight is actually accurate to NES graphics, not indieretrodogshit. Of course its nothing like the stuff I'm posting, but it doesn't look like the stuff we're complaining about. I definitely recommend it, though it is a bit short.
>>257137796
I love this art direction..forgot what it was called when you have this dot-matrix shadows. Because if I recall correctly, that's the limitation of the style. But to me, it adds to it.

>>257138020
I actually have aquaria on my wishlist. Fuck rayman and braid though. Those aren't what I'm talking about at all. Especially rayman, fuck the everloving shit out of that artstyle. I want pixels, not ultra smooth rounded corners on everything so it looks like a saturday morning cartoon.

>>257139083
well, I imagine it will be getting some thought put into it sometime soon, since every indie and their mother are going for retro graphics to be cool. Hopefully in another few years they will move on to better stuff like that and then maybe in another 5 years or so it will go to low poly 3D. Low poly stuff can look great too.

>>257138969
"Art like that" was created, because they could only use 16 colors; that's also why they used darker pixels to add shading. Now you can use 64 million colors, so dithering isn't needed, you just use the color you need.
