So, at university today I got this Game Design class, now I'm supposed to make pixel art for a 2d game like "Zelda: A Link to the Past" and such.
Where do I start learning how to make art assets to a game like this?
Please help.
>>2447422
pixel art looks fucking amazing when you draw stuff normally and then shrink it down. yuo gotta be able to paint and draw well though.
>>2447422
Search for ripped resources of those games (i.e: Tilesets, sprite sets...) and try to see which elements do they have and make yours based on the shit you find.
Also, which uni do you assist?

WITHOUT MENTIONING ANY ARTIST NAMES have you ever been burned by another artist on comissions?
I used to every once in awhile commission artists that I liked and respected. 2 different artists, I paid in November and January and both have yet to send me a sketch. Both have said they are really busy and don't know when they can get to them.
>>2445739
yes, it's been well over a year on one for me. They cant afford to refund and havent finished. all i have is wips.
I don't even get why people commission digital art without it being a print. Real life art you walk past in your house everyday, what do you do with digital art? Open the JPG every once in a while then close it?
I'm using the wacom tablet for the first time in maybe years and I'm having a hard time getting things to look good. What are some good practices to get back into not looking at your hands for sketching and inking?
Consider it like an assisted blind contour exercise. You'll start getting really familiar with what hand motions create what kind of line and eventually it will be second nature.
In the meantime, try zooming in (800-100%). Stabilizers can help too, but personally, setting it too high might hurt more than help due to the lag. You don't want those stabilizers to become a crutch

Lines, ellipses, cubes in perspective, pretty much anything.
You just have to bite the bullet and draw, Anon; The more you do the faster you'll get used to it.

I can't be the only who hates this tablet, I prefer the old bamboo better
How do you get paid for a commission without revealing your real name to the client?

I know but will not say you. Lurk moar
Make a Paypal business account.
>>2443376
What a shit reason.
From your personal account you can just an invoice.
There should be an 'Send invoice' button somewhere, that takes you to a new page where there is also a 'Settings' tab.
In that tab you can put down the information you want to send with the invoice and remove your real name from it.
Just make sure you don't put anything related to porn or anything and make sure your client doesn't do that either.
That will get your account locked.

This thread is meant for artists who might want to try to make anime work in-between their studies. It is strongly recommended that you use this thread in conjunction with learning the elements and fundamentals of art.

Clipstudio is on sale and I was thinking about getting it, but I'm poor as hell and I was wondering... Is the DRM a hassle to circumvent? What am I gaining by getting a legit license? Sorry for being a scumbucket.

>What am I gaining by getting a legit license?
The ability to use the program legally with full functionality and updates
If you don't want to pay for it, then don't. You could easily pirate Manga Studio 5 EX, which is pretty much the same thing but older

That's it.
Can't you ask someone to lend you twenty bucks? I've never seen CSP this low.
What are some artists that use crazy colors like this?
All I can think of is Jojo and the main influence he used. Is there a name for this?

Some comic called NIMA. They only got one day left for funding. Art is really nice.

You are all attending shit schools and will fail horribly at all of your goals unless you self study really fucking efficiently or can afford an atelier.
Stay strong and keep studying actual skills.
Is art in the video game industry extremely grueling and exhaustive?
My friend is a junior architect and works 60-70 hours a week. Worse or better than that?
its easy work, theres just a lot of it.

Depends entirely on what company you work for, really
The stories you hear about absurd crunching for months on end etc. - they're real, but they don't happen everywhere, so it's impossible to make sweeping statements about the industry as a whole.
>>2447834 (OP)
High barrier of entry if you're a first world citizen and a lot of work you'll do won't be the kind of stuff you like.
Chances are you will never draw your pic related and your first job might be a few background characters for a Barbie game. You'd need to be good with computers/3d software if not completely fluent.
Still, if you get in, you're working on a something with a story, you have a steady job and if you get enough ranking, you get to work with game designers to fulfill...

I live in Los Angeles, am 23, gave up on what i was originally doing and told my parents I want to pursue art industry career.
What's the best place to go to build a portfolio? I feel like a place of study would suit me better than just staying at home gitting gud, because my home environment isn't exactly primed for intense focus.
I know Watts Atelier is nearby, and that Art Center is in Pasadena, but I'm having trouble deciding. If I should go to an atelier, which are some other good ones? Is a BA at Art Center ideal when I already have a BA in...

Depends on what you do.
Don't take life advice from /ic/, though.
>>2444935
are you starting from zero?
i'd focus my education around concept design academy. but to maximize return of investment you want to be at a certain level before spending money on their courses.
art center really only makes sense if you are already so wealthy that a career is entirely optional.
not zero but never pursued it seriously until recently
bare fundamentals, no training, no idea about how to design a good git-gud schedule
What is a concept design academy?
Critique?
Kinda new, didn't see a main "critique" thread
First time drawing feet, not good with anime faces
I do well this thicc women, I guess?
kill yourself
Check out the drawthread or the beginner thread. They'll critique you. But the eyes and lips look very flat, it looks like you're symbol drawing. I'm not sure specifically how to advise on that other than drawing in a different style, but really consider the 3D shape and try to define that with your lines. That's probably shit advice though, I'm sorry.

Kek, nice quads.

better than killing myself. But thank you! I'll take your advice and go to that other thread aswell
