I have made this character for 2 reasons:
1)I need it for a game I am helping my nephew to make.
2)I needed something to practice shading.

Honestly im rather happy with it, it's better than a lot of other stuff I have made.

that yellow lump is the light source.

C&C please

I'm back! Though I don't think anyone really would have noticed I was gone.

If you are wondering where I was, I was taking exam's and revising.

With all but one exam behind me I thought "I should get back onto my project."
So i turned the pc and looked into my files where all my stuff is stored away nice and neatly and... all of my files were corrupt. turns out that nasty virus a few weeks ago got into 'em.

So I decided I would just spend 10 minutes quickly making a sprite so that I could put something in the folder.

It came out rather well, at least that's my opinion. So i thought i would put it up for a critique.

So what do you think?

how do i put up zoomed in views?

and is 5 colours to simple?

Thanks in advance

So has anyone heard of Shining Force namely Shining Force 2?

I am currently playing through Shining Force 2.

So yeah anyone?

Fusiomax

well 2 really.

1) what is the resolution of nelly cootalot? i need to know for an idea i just had.
2) how would i go about drawing a silhouette of a character in the style of broken sword? i cant remember the which one but i have a pick i can post if needed.

a lil bit of extra info is that you will play as the silhouette character and as you progress in the game you gain detail and colour.

Thanks in advance

has anyone here read any of Simak's story's?

I am currently reading through as many as i can get my hands on.

If you have read any of his story's what do you think about adventure game's based on his story's?
I was thinking that "The Grotto of the Dancing Deer" would make a good short game and for a longer one that "Time and Again" or "The Goblin Reservation" would make good long games.

What do you guys think?

Fusiomax

well this is my first background.
by hand:

yeah i know not very good but it served well as a guide line

heres what i ended up with after line art and a basic coulouring:

again yeah its rubbish, but i only spent ten minutes on a basic coulouring just so it was done

incase your wondering that thing on the branch is well its a.....a bear/koala thing it has to stay there 

main thing i dont like is the base of the tree how could i improve it? also the branch of the tree.
also is it to many colours?

Thanks.

Hi i was just wondering how many people here use paint.net and also if any of you use graphics tablets.

im getting a graphics tablet soon and was wondering if they work well with paint.net.

also what graphics tablet have you got and how do you use it? i.e just to make games or digital art(manga, landscape anything else)

i use paint.net and find it really useful also best of all its free 

my mate keeps telling me i should get photoshop because its a lot better, now i dont think thats true. so whats your opinion on that?

Fusiomax

i just signed up. i'm in the process of making a game and i made this sprite:

i drew it on paper then scanned it and pixelated and coloured it and got this:


is there anyway i can improve it?
also can anyone give me advice for alternate angles? i cant get it right looking at him side on and from the back
and one more how on earth do you do walk cycles?

thanks in advance!
