First try at character pixel art

[Hueij]

Well, I'm a long time lurker here so it was about time I really started to use AGS.

So here is my first attempt to create a pixel character. I really would like some C&C because I'm totally not satisfied with the shadowing.

i like the shading, tho it needs to be more consistent.  the shading is very visible on the legs, but on her upper body it's not really noticable.

her hand is kinda messed, looks more like a claw.  

i like it, very retro sexy.

hey bettie!

i agree with taryuu

the shading could be a bit more consistent and the hand doesn't bother me really cause i know how hard it is to draw a low res hand and make it look good.

maybe just go with the side of the hand the pinky and the ring finger?

other wise it's a great representation of Bettie

COOL!


Go on!

The best first try art I've ever seen, i think!

VERY good shading!

Derrier, Derrier, Shake That Derrier (yes, caps are necessary).

Nice, but the dress is a bit dull, and probably wouldn't follow the body like that, unless it was really strangely cut. It would sweep down towards the back a bit more. Currently it inflates her Derrier.

....Y'know, I really hope I spelt Derrier right, otherwise I'm gonna look like an idiot.

Drawing hands within a small area using pixels is always messy. Try grouping the fingers together to form one item. They'll look less realistic but it'll save you heaps of time when you come to animate her. Also, the shading is good, but you need more shadow on the bottom side of her clothing, since she's kinda bending over/sticking her arse out. Nice chick. rowl.

Thanks all. Right now I'm working on it again, taking your criticisms into account. Changed the hand (I should have known, the easiest solution is always the best ) and her derrière (for Flippy ) and I am adding stockings. I also want to change the dress. When I'm done sometime tomorrow I will update the picture.

Next project: a walking animation of her. Talking about ambitious
