My first pixelated sprite attempt.

[KrisMacDee]

Hey people! This is my first serious pixelated sprite attempt . It may feature in my game when september ends. It will perhaps feature in 'The Shining' part of the game . I felt the atmosphere would be sort of creepier in a sort of lo-res form.

I realise he has no mouth or nose and that his ears are'nt very easy to see, but this is what this forum is for isn't it! For some people in the community to point out anything that is wrong with it. Thanks in advance for any C&C.

Cheers,

Ok, a quick paintover-



-Tried to make the hair look a bit more natural, thus giving the appearance of a shorter head overall.
-Gave him a mouth and a nose.
-Smoothed outh the area between the shirt and the neck, which was rather jaggedy.

Hope this at least gives you an idea or two.

Nice sprite for a first attempt! The main thing that bothers me is I think his shoes are too big. The rest of his body is also out of proportion IMO.

Sweet another one has fallen into the dark art of pixel-zation 

The paint over is done very well! Bigmac look at what was done differently
and ask yourself why? If everybody in these forums asked why they would
learn alot more!

The character looks like the one on your signiture, is he your main character?
If he is then umm...

He will have to be in there

Ben304 -Ã,  that looks much better!! :oÃ,  The hair looks better that way and the overall shading looks better. Also I was never sure on how to draw a nose and mouth without making him look stupid. I was originally going to use black lines for the mouth and nose, but it looked sort of weird. But thanks that helped a lot!

Zor- Thanks!Ã,  I agree with what you said before...

The main thing that bothers me is I think his shoes are too big.

I have taken this into account and made his his shoes rounder and smaller.



But one thing is...

The rest of his body is also out of proportion IMO.

I wouldn't say it was out of proportion. He looks fine I think but I will check over it again later anyway.

Why?Ã, 

But anyway thanks for your advice. oh and about your question...

If he is then umm...
