I'm not really a pixel artist, so I coming here and asking for advice. I want to make some templates that I will later animate (And I may share those.) So any advice you can give would surely help. This sprite isn't very tall (About 4 heads), and I'd like to improve anatomy, then later I will make a female, possibly a child, and someone a bit bulkier perhaps.

Anyway, Thank you!

Well I am going for a painted-sketchy effect on the way the movement works. This was done with a tablet, would definitely appreciate criticism or comments.



I'll try different walks too with different characters (Might actually design a game out of this in this style!)

Does this need any changes? Would love opinions as well.
(Oh and there is a reason to the transparent in-between frames, I believe it helps define the messy style a bit more and smooths it out in an abstract way)

These are a few characters I made recently, just experimenting with color, shapes, and sizing. Criticizing is certainly welcome.
And thoughts/ opinions are too.





I don't really know what I am going for, somewhat western maybe.

Ok so I am really starting to get involved, slowly however. Anyways I can get away with this walkcycle and I know it can be improved (feels so basic) , so yeah C&C time!

Here is an update:

Update 02:
Added more frames and some motion


X2



I will work on this portion for now and move on to other angles when the time is right.

Well this is my first actual background. I have been pretty pleased with it and may have found another skill I have besides music. I am looking for C&C basically any advice you can give me in anyway.

But I  am not the best when it comes to lighting, I am able to deal with shadows but I'll just show you what I mean.
I attached two images:

Lighting:

No Lighting

Also just doing this for practice, but now I am inspired to possibly make a short little game based off of this room.

EDIT:

Fixed Lighting and Touch-ups:



EDIT 2:
Now with wall textures and added blood!


**Update: Added a character for test, although I am thinking that I like this character's look.**
Looking for possible critiques on character  style, lighting may or may not completely match this backgrounds lighting but I am trying to create a character that would match different levels of lighting, so I chose a level of intensity that was between light and dark.
Just as well, having a colorful character both in looks and in personality in dismal situations is my motivation.

Alright, well here are a couple things I made. I am looking for criticism. I am just trying to get better at this sort of thing!

Well I made these over the past few days, hope you enjoy them! and criticism is definitly acceptable.

this song is for the game I am making about a baby turtle. This song is for the main area of the game, the cliffside. I am looking for some criticism. (sorry if I don't change this song, but what I do is I use the criticism in later songs)

Yah this is going in a Mystery/Horror/suspense game that I am creating. It's going to go through a few changes but tell me what you think or give some critiques!

No seriously, I don't know what it is but for the past few months I have had strange things happen to me in my room, and only when I am in my room. I'll go to sleep, but while in my dream state I will open my eyes (a friend of mine was also in the room when one of these things happened) I can see everything quite clearly, so I know it is not a dream, I cannot move I feel trapped. But I can start to see things while in this state that actually effect the room (like I seen things coming through the walls that scared the livin' crap out of me)

Do any of you know what this could be?

I tend to try and be simplistic, this is however is the only character I am pleased with that I created. Really it's my first actual sucessful character, now I am looking for some C&C on it. Thank you!

Yep still looking for criticism, lately I have been bored with making music, maybe I should take a break, hard to break habit though lol. Well give me your thoughts!
