Colors/shading are great
Face is weird
Arms/Legs/Clothes are ok
Body is bad

No one stands like that, even when fighting. Study anatomy.

This is the extent of what I can do. Copy parts of existing sprites and recolor them. I tried making Kid in the middle there.
Your colors are terrible
Your shading is shit
Clothing is horrific
Body is vomit inducing
>>318091245
You were just trying to copy something ? Shame on you ! (and the anon was right, nobody stand like yours)
Please, read thishttp://opengameart.org/content/les-forges-pixel-art-course
>>318091560
I'm not sure what's that suppose to prove
By comparison, it's awful
I do a good amount. I dont quite feel confident posting much right now though, maybe later.
Never copy sprites, if youre going to do anything, you can take the style, but I wouldnt even overlay it overtop of what you are drawing. Too much of a crutch
>>318091467
I wanted to remake the animation in HD, but it's too much work.
I'm downloading spriter right now to see if I can do some HD version of athena idle stance.
>>318091697
the colors are lifted from the sprite.
the shading is similar.
clothing is similar (sprite used as reference)
anatomy may be worse.
>>318090824
there is literally nothing wrong with anime art styles, unless its later than 2000
It's cute OP, keep it up.
>>318091767
Oh yeah and in addendum, Pixel art is like the internet version of a fedora. So don't think you are cool or anything
>>318089142
make a sprite porn game and then we can talk
>>318091245
>>318091560
Notice how the left leg in your version is positioned differently from the actual one, making her stance look very awkward. Also, your version's body is kind of turned so it looks like she's trying to do the splits or take a dump or something.
>>318089142
The key to good pixel art is to learn color theory.
Black lines are almost always a no-no.
>>318091402
This is /v/ anon. You're thinking of /a/.
>>318091814
You know what anon, you're right. For the most part, anyway. Anime used to look somewhat distinct from one another. Modern anime all looks the same.
>>318091803
>the colors are lifted from the sprite.
Nope. He uses his own set of colors. It's also important to note how the original sprite used the colors and the scale it was working with. The original uses the darkest shade of purple in place of black and it has no outlines
>the shading is similar.
Not even close. You'd have to be blind to think his shading even matches SNK's shading. Not to mention the difference in scale immediately throws this dumb ass argument out the window.
>clothing is similar
That doesn't mean shit when it's drawn poorly. The gloves aren't even the same and the shirt doesn't even go with the form of her body
>anatomy may be worse
>may
>>318092553
bro, I'm just trying to make the HD version of athena gif.
good art is not made by magic, is fucking hard to make pro art.
>>318090984
>Grounding too much to reality
Not knowing how and when to exaggerate is why artists like you fail to get clients.
It's important to learn the fundamentals and all that but fuck, learn to play with your art and stop worrying about copying real life and plausibility 1:1. If you want that, take up film instead not drawing.
Once or twice
>>318092849
No. Stop trying to excuse shit poses.
>>318093539
athena is a magical girl bro, she uses psycho powers, she's a strong girl who don't need aint no man.
Sure, I do them pixel art stuffs.
Athena is best KoFer, followed by Yuri.

Would your webm happen to draw some inspiration from this game?
Anywhere where we can follow development on this?
>>318094240
It's fine.
I dunno why noone remembers me outside some idle animation I keep remaking and asking newfaggy questions.
At least anons don't target me like rotatte or googum.
>>318094567
Learning how to draw well would do your animating a helluva lot more good than redoing an animation over and over.
>>318094443
Oh neat, someone who recognized it as a Maze of Galious knockoff instead of as a La-Mulana knockoff! Hardly anyone gets that.harmarist dot tumblr dot com
>>318094902
I know the rules of drawing if by it you mean reading loomis and watching some vilppu drawings.
I guess I'm a lazy faggot.
but making a maniquin, checking perspective, drawing the muscles and bone structure, doing the clothes flow of action, make the planes and 3D shape of the surface.
Doing all that shit is hard, and that's not counting the painting part.
Also doing low res pixel art is even harder if you want to make it look good.
is not easy and everyone keep telling me "you suck"
It's frustrating.
>>318095587
Once you actually learn the shit it becomes as natural to do and think about as anything else. It's only during the few years of starting to learn it that it seems like a lot of drudgery.
colors are real muddy
pose is really stiff, especially the arms
Needles for fingers
all shadows are hard shadows, with no dithering to soften parts that would have more of a gradation
One eye is super tiny
>>318095750
you know what is hard?
to make this in 2010 and still haven't been able to get again this level because I'm a fucking lazy faggot.
>>318089142
Drawing faintly hi-res pixel art isn't the impressive bit, it's animating it.
>>318092849
Being 100% serious here: read How to Draw Comics The Marvel Way. It's great at explaining how to pose your figures, and what their body language signifies. OP's recreation of the Athena sprite is stiff and awkward-looking compared to SNK's original. Her right arm lacks tension, and her left arm is drooped down too low to make it look like she's on-guard. Her legs are buckling under her own weight, like she's off balance. In the SNK original, she's grounded and sturdy. In the original, her feet are splayed out to spread her weight out evenly across her center of gravity, and in OP's they're bunched up. It's not a strong pose at all.
Listen, OP. You STILL have to learn how to draw properly if you're doing sprite work. The method behind creating sprite art may be different from that of drawing normally, but the fundamentals are the same no matter what medium you're working in.
I dabble in it as a hobby.
I did this for this thread

That's factually incorrect, and this is from someone who doesn't even watch anime all that much.
>>318093539
Learn to exaggerate. Most shit in comics and jap shit does at some point.
I used to
Don't do it much anymore, and wasn't particularly amazing at it.
I used to, can't stand it. Animating pixel art takes for-fucking-ever.
>>318089142
I tried to make custom sprite last year but I quit.
>>318092849
>>318093539
>Exaggerate
This is the excuse people use when they don't know basic anatomy.
You'll find that you can make much nicer looking exaggerations once you know the basics of human anatomy. OP clearly doesn't so it looks weird as hell.
Know what works, and then stretch that as much as you can, otherwise you end up with awkward looking art.
>>318089142
I do pixel art frequently.
>>318098140
This is really cute anon

>>318100330
I had uploaded it to Puush to show to a friend and I just used the Puush link to upload it here. I guess that fucked with the quality.
I enjoy animating pixel art
>>318100414
I also made this a while back.
>>318101050

You wouldn't be up for it, would you? If you'd find it fun

I remember you. Still looks pretty cute.
>>318101513
I'm pretty sure that's the point
>>318089142
not bad, except for her face. the face looks like a typical generic one in western webcomics, and its even worse than her new potato one.
pixel art is rendering an object in it's most fundamental characteristics using extremely limited resources. You can't start at pixels, you have to build up your art without any limitations and then go backwards to pixel art. It's why picasso is so effective
>>318089142
Her thighs are indented above the knee like she's been crippled with a baseball bat. In fact her legs are totally fucked altogether.
Her ankle is literally broken. If you're going to admit to ripping off
>>318091245
at least do a half decent job. Her nose is totally fucked. Her elbow looks like a knobby knee. Her midriff looks like she's hiding two tennis balls under her jacket.
This is what happens when weebs think they can simply copy their anime and still be considered an artist. Horrible. Take this shit back to deviantart it has nothing to do with vidya.
>>318101513
it's a shitty porn game that he shills his webms for every pixel art/gamedev thread he's in.

Your skills are decent, but you might want to try looking into a different style, or at least using current gen pokemon as a reference less

maybe the cute little dog person should jerk off alone in a corner someplace if he loses, maybe while crying a little
I once made a MUGEN character that was all originally drawn. All the sprites took like years, and they weren't exactly top notch either.
Though I wanna do another one, I don't want it to take years again.
>>318089142
That's pretty good, Anon, good job.
>>318093798
>furshit
i hate furshit, but i can at least appreciate that you dont even try to hide all of them at all.
>>318093798
Reminds me of the bosses from Fantasy Zone on sega master system. Those bosses that do a preset animation and don't move but throw tons of shit at you. Classic
>I will never learn how to make sprites
I remember fusing an Archer in phantom brave with the mermaid sprite and giving her pink hair back in middle school. The image is on an old as fuck laptop that I can't be arsed to find. I really wished I continued trying to do stuff like that, maybe I wouldn't have ended up with a talent.
I dabble occasionally.

Was it worth it, in the end?
I guess this is the thread where people accidentally drop their work.
I wish st0ven's old Spriteart website was still up. It had some really good tutorials for sprites of different varieties. 2DWillNeverDie is still an amazing resource of graphics and tutorials, though. Particularly on making sprites similar to how Capcom did in the mid-90's.
>>318104571
this is pretty cool. Do you have any of the other talky jerks?
>>318105191
The only tutorial I wouldn't recommend anyone reading is the Vector to Pixel tutorial.
That's just way too much time spent for something you're going to scale down and clean up anyways.
>>318101513
glad to see you can actually recognize gay furry porn when and where it matters
>>318105191
I should add, actually - if you have Manga Studio there's a way to turn some of the pens into binary brushes so you can do pixelart in that program as well. It's great if you're working on backgrounds with perspective.
>>318089142
I used to do some here and there. Not so much anymore.
>>318099935

Other than that looks good anon keep it up
I've tried to do pixel art but it always frustrates me so I just end up drawing while zoomed in
I kind of like the way it looks though, and I've had some people say that they like the style so I don't know man

The left is shit but Little Samson is way better looking than almost every other NES game.
>>318089142
Calves and elbows are fucked. No hips. Otherwise ok
Learn how to draw people first
Then do spriting
>>318107482
I think it's trying to speak to me.
>>318108560
For me one thing, but if our goal. If you do, because I'm happy. This does not mean that I think the dog poop? I think it is ridiculous. The larvae and the United States had attacked our soldiers to discuss the company's network, you can touch me in a way that we create. Your life is more interesting than the storm.
Has anyone here tried doing pic related? How were the results?
I made this Pokemon fusion Sprite a long time ago
I basically took Mudkip and started editing it with Cubones sprite
This isn't full sprite work though obviously, it's an edit
>>318089142
A disgusting amount of clothing is still present.
>>318109124

I don't post frequently because they're usually for a personal project or a freelance gig. Random shit doesn't get done often, but it's the gift-giving season and I'm feeling real generous so I'm doing pixel things for my buddies.
It's IIMMPP on Tumblr.
>>318107237
Give me a break, I'd been looking at the bottom half of that sprite futzing around with the feet for a while before I'd actually had finished it off. I should have touched up the highlights on the hair below the upper most highlights as well.
>>318108148
>scanlinesI like it.
>>318108439
the real question is if low health should have a lewd looking damaged face or not
>>318109273
yeah I thought this was the issue as well after 10 mins of research
I hav eattempted to recitify this for you OP but I got bored
Just started, though I'm not really that good. Yet, at least. I wanna make a game in RPG Maker or something soon, that is if I find the motivation to do so
>>318109341
because sprites are cooler than polygons
>>318109124
I'm OP.
It's clearly the superior way to make HD pixel art.

>>318096223

>>318109849

I haven't done anything for my own games in a long time. This is from last year. I think it's the last thing I made for this project before setting it down and moving on.Pixel art is fun, if you're ever interested in it definitely try it out and if you like it, keep at it.
>>318109962
>It's clearly the superior way to make HD pixel art.
There are other methods.
>>318109124
500 frames per character is still a fucking ton of work if you want your detailing to be consistent. You gotta onion-skin that shit.
>>318110624
not everyone is an old disney animator.
>>318110624
it seems like a superior option if you have no idea how to draw like they clearly don't

Shitters like you are why high quality sprite art died with SNK
>>318111254
nigga, even you have a team of top artists, there would be still inconsistencies between the frames, sure, it looks fine if you're going for skullgirls look, but it may not look good for kof if you're trying to keep the look consistent.
also 3D allows for doing experimentation until the art director approves of it.
not everyone have infinite money+time
>>318110763
>Have to animate it anyways
>Make an excuse about not being an animation pro
>>318111535
using 3D as reference to trace is easier than drawing it.
it's like complaining about using perspective rules or rules in general.
it's just a tool.
>>318111503
>nigga, even you have a team of top artists, there would be still inconsistencies between the frames
There's always going to be inconsistencies. That's just the nature of animation. Even Disney movies are inconsistent as fuck with each frame, but you don't notice it unless you're intentionally looking out for it or have it playing like a slide show.
>>318089142
Avoid perfectly straight lines (horizontal, vertical, and diagonal) on higher resolution work like this. It makes the pose look less organic and more mechanical. The solid horizontal lines on the bottom of her shirt/stomach are particularly jarring and make her seem separated in two at the waist.
Smooth out curves. The outline shape of her legs are especially haphazard and lumpy looking.
Don't outline every single thing in black. First, it makes it look less like a cohesive piece and more like lots of little pieces stuck together. Second, too much black everywhere muddies up the rest of the colors.
Remember, ever pixel and clump of color should be deliberate. This should look like it was built pixel by pixel, color by color, not drawn out with a pencil tool.
>>318111660
>using 3D as reference to trace is easier than drawing it.
You're telling me that going out of your way to create a model is easier than just drawing a simple detailed animation and using that as reference?
That's just absolutely absurd. If you can't even grasp basic fundamentals, what on Earth makes you think that tracing a model will give you consistent results?
>>318112140
see
>>318096223
It's not uncommon for artists to use 3D software as a tool for 2D art.
It simply works.
you don't need a finished model, just some basic 3D shapes or a low poly model is enough.
