Here's my entry, made it kinda fast, and it looks more like a gangster XD well then XD he's trying to reach and grab something under his coat.

8 colors (with transparent color)

THANX a lot! ProgZmax! Your color correction helped a lot in giving the character more "life" i'm going to post my latest version and start animating it. Thanx to all of you!

I updated the pics and now i have a shading isue !!

Thanks ProgZmax for the advice, i actualy know about proportions but i just wanted to show the visual "style" i've made those sprites rather quick cause, i want to begin with the rest of stuff !!!as for the colours, Yeah I need some serious help there, I'm color blind and can't really tell subtle diferences in colors !!! well then as i said before, i'll practice drawing backgrounds in both resolutions, and decide with them wich one to use, cause in hi def i have to add much more detail in the backgrounds!

thnx!

Just made "for fun" a different version using the hires i allready had as reference, basicaly changed the face shading and proportions.

   

Hey! to every one!

Thnkx for all the responses, hhahaa and i'm not trying to sell myself as japanese, and actually i DO draw in different styles reaslistic or the typical cartoon, but i wanted to give this one the "anime/manga" approach cause i've allways started my "games" in this style and never finiched them, this time i'm not working alone and someone is helping with the story, so I can put more effort on the graphics. I absolutly love the "realistic" style, and acctualy consider myself a better artist at it, but don't know !!! I simply like anime a lot ! nothing to take to serious. For those anime haters hahaha (just a joke don't take it harsh) i'm going to draw a more realistic or different style, and wait for your responses

THNX!!

Ascovel has a good point there, and yes it's kinda "whaky" cause i scaled de body up in a non proportioante way, and din't fixed the resulting weird pixels, anyways it's not the "final" version, just to decide on wich one to use, and focus on it. Thanx for the suggestions, i'm going to try drawing backgrounds for each style ! and check wich one is better

hmmmm ok so one vote for high res hehe what do you mean exactly with HIS legs, to short or to long?

Hey there everyone!

I'm starting to work on my first reall project ( with story and overal design, and I'm going to finish this ) but i have this huge problem, i don't know wich style to use for the art, i know it's going to be anime like cause there are going to be cut scenes and "movies" in this style so, please help chose between theese two :


High res (640 x 400)/Low res (320 * 200)

  (THE UPDATED HI RES VERSION BELOW!)

if any of you would have time and want to sugest a complete diferent style or change mine, your welcome!!

Thnx!

------------Edit:--------------------

I changed a few things in the character

I have another question now, whaaaa I can't really decide wich kind of "shading" i should use, in the first one i used the "border line" color to create the darker shadows, while in the second one i only used two tones for coloring and the 3rd color for borders, this one looks more cartoony but don't know wich one to chose. Any suggestions?

------> FINAL!!!

HEY! THANKS! for the quick help!! i really like tour edit on the face, i'm not used to draw anime like faces at that low resolution, and you got it really well !!!and indeed it fits more her actual face (sketch) thanks a lot !


edit:

using ur advice i modified the eyes to not distract That much !!! i think it looks way better now, but the body is still kinda buging me !!!

Hey! everyone! i'm working on this sprite right here, and i don't really get what's wrong i notice that something odd, could be the proportions or shading don't know, and i'm pretty tired and stressed right now so please could you help me out ANY suggestions are welcome, THANKS!!!

It's suposed to be a 14 year old girl and she's wearing a somewhat large coat, she's suposed to be shy and therefore the pose !!! well thanks!!!

as you can notice it's anime style (therefore the kinda large head )

This is my first entry to a sprite jam! here it goes!!!

It's an friendly green ant like fly like hahaha BUG! doesn't have any powers or anything, it just likes to live in peace !!!





12 colors

i'd like to know how to display the images here without the bg i know it's something about the alpha channel hahaha and ones knew it, just can't remember !!!

hey!thanx for the help, it's probably the only way to do it, hmm well at least it's just one extra line before the display and one after, maybe i'll change the displays for speech ant position what the narrator (new cahracter says) at the bottom (y =170) . Well thanks for the help!!

hehe sorry !! i'm going to continue on this one, well i doesn't change the cursor to the wait cursor. i kinda don't like visualy that when my character is speaking with the narrator (display text) the cursor constantly changes from wait to the previous one, i know i could make the narrator a character that follows the player to every room but i've allready scripted lots of dialog and don't want to change all my display texts for speech

HEY! is there a way to display the wait cursor, in "display" text too? just like in speech?
--------------------------EDIT------------------------------------------
I DISCOVERED the real problem, is there a way to make the "display" non blocking? like speech   speech lets animation still happen in background while display doesn't!!!HELP!

hey there! i'm not that noob at scripting, but i really don't know if there's a way to make the game pause during "display" text, i know it pauses during speech, but with display i still can interact with some guis for example! please help!
I cheked the prob ones again, and it is with the gui containing the label thats shows over hotspots, how can I get it tu turn of (visible =false) whenever a display text is displayed, without having to do it everytime i call display text.

In the manual it says, that display is also a blocking function...is there a way so that display also changes the mouse to the "waiting" cursor. waaa i can't solve it

after analysing carefully, i've noticed that it DOES block everything but the "overhotspot" function.
when speech is displayed even if a put my cursor over a hotspot nothing apears (thats great)
but when the display text is runing and while it's runing i put my cursor over a hotspot, the gui with it shows the word but not following my mouse (cause it's blocking the script) what can i do so that in every type of text my cursor changes to "waiting" and the "overhotspot" label keeps "off"

SORRY! FOR MY VERY BAD ENGLISH !!!


------------------------------------------------


Sorry i kinda "solved" it on my own, it was displaying the guis character real name don't know why so i just removed his name and nothing more appeard !!! bye

You step out of your bed and open the closet to see it's...






Grandpa's decapitaded head looking at you hahaha hope it's not to gore

HI there cpage!
I did here a quick edit with the following modifications:

1. Moved the feet (both of them) further back.
2. changed the shading of the left foot (for the character) to match the light source ...i hope so
3. changed the hand a little bit.
4. Moved the nose 1 pixel to the right

Any way, Great looking sprite there!!!

hahahahaha no prob, i'm actually not THAT thin. haha but thats not the reason of this kinda hmmm round head !! at the begining i was aiming for a mor realistic style, but now it's kinda more anime/realistic like, hahaha i don't know why allways my drawings in pixel art finish being anime like, maybe it's cause I love it so much !!!

hey, thanx bout the concern but i actualy kept my las version (well edited it a little bit) but wasn't worth a post, and about the size haha i know that, but i don't do it cause in firefox the images appear blured. well thanx anyway!
