I like it. nice style...

Thats fine.. and as i said Im sure others will lend a helping hand..

If you really just want to do 8ish bg and not do them yourself, PM me the 8 that you draw (B&W and 'horror' coloured (so16 really)) and I will bring them up to this standard within a day of receiving them. It's up to you, I would always urge people to try themselves as this helps you gain skills. But it is your decision.

The black and white is pretty lifeless I thought but I can't really liven it up with anything. Also, I'm looking to make around 8 backgrounds and their "horror" look.

What did you think towards living them up with the sepia colour and scratching shadows effect?

Also if it's just 8 bg draw them, through them up and im sure people will make sure ur perspective is correct amongst other things..

I really think we should make a short game with these sprites.. Do a similar comp but with bg's for the game.. ect...

man, you perspective is really wrong.

Erm did you paint over my paint over and just change the perspective of the door? 

Dwayne is always trying to get in on the pranks, but he is so clumsy he messes them up, luckily though this just makes the others at Camp Copycat laugh even more at him falling into his own pranks.

Was awesome trying to stick to the style, nice idea! 

ACTUAL ENTRY:

EDIT:
Lol didnt see SpacePirateCaine swim instructor until I posted. What's strange is I made a cool surfer dude 1st, but changed him to look more goofy, here he is:



Seth is a keen surfer, always down at the beach riding waves. He has a major 'thing' for the hot swim instructor Krissy, so he pretends he can't swim so he can have 1on1 lessons with her. (hence the armbands)

Yeah, I just did a quick paint over zoomed in lol.. have only just seen the mess haha

I think I have solved a couple of perspective issues (I don't pretend to be any good at perspective I just try a few simple rules and the results seem to look ok (I can only seem to do 1 point perspective also))



I did this using the same method I layed out in this post

How many BG are you looking at making?

As for the coloured one (I desaturated the colours a little):


But the B&W one I feel is quite lifeless (and not in a good way) if it was me Id show it like this:


But it's your game

The door come to think of , it's rather fine. The brown part of it, (can't recall the word), makes the door feel like it's painted.

Yeah There's no depth.. Il work on it..

Well it kind of is... lol...

Any ideas anyone, on how to get it looking more like a door?

round these parts our science classrooms all had tall benches with stools to sit at.

lol.. guessing your uk.. I am too haha.. The benches with gas taps..

Yeah I could try that out. After all this is just to practise pixel art skills I have no 'agenda' as far as this bg goes...

I have added a science poster in the corner. (How can I make it look more dirty/used?

Also I have drawn 1 desk and copy/pasted it. (will I have to draw a new desk for each place to keep the perspective correct?)

Also I like the idea of keeping the chemicals central. I have also upped their saturation for more effect.

Also what are you thinking about the composition?

Thanks

Thanks.. I thought I was going all wrong.. This gives me the boost I need to keep going...

@ProgZmax: I see what you mean about the perspective on the right walls shading, I was leaving the 'noise' effect to only the back wall incase people said it didn't work... I'll add it to the right wall (fixing the perspective aswell) and see what it looks like...

Also you mentioned aliasing around the chalk board, how would I go about this?

@Mr Flibble: Thanks, the floor took me a while.

I have tried to edit the perspective of the shadow on the right wall.. and dithered it. Also added a shadow behind the chalk board. Tried to aliasing the board and the right brown edging. Has it worked?

Also how would I add more detail to the wall, the ceiling, and the blind? They seem a bit plain.

Also I'm not that good at foregrounds... Can you give me some suggestions to what I have done wrong with this one...

That'd be cool.. or maybe make a Chatroom2, different story, up to the challenge? lol

I am going to Bump this up (I hope no one minds) More people should play this game! Awesome! Best text parser game ever!!! I loved it. 

Next: Woo we did it....

No worries... wasn't trying to be the spoiler police lol...

TeenageAssasin: This Forum isn't labelled as spoilers.. could you hide some of your post that gives away the story

Just thinking others on the site might not have seen it yet...

As some of you may know, I am new to pixel art. I have been trying to up my pixel art skills:

Click here for a look at my character attempt.


x2:


Here is my first real attempt at a pixel art room, I have not looked up any tutorials yet, and I am adding the background in its early stage so I dont go too wrong (with composition and perspective).

I will be adding an assortment of random lab equipment, any addition of random equipment in paint overs is welcome.

UPDATE:


x2:


Not sure about the 'gradient' effect... Really not liking this Room at the minute...

This is not for a game it is only to improve my skills (or lack of lol).

It goes without saying that any paint overs are gladly welcome.

Thanks...

New Update:

I'm still working towards improving my skills:

Without the character for paint overs:

Sorry for the Bump.. Just want to try and stir some interest... I have searched online for a pixel bg tutorial but to no avail. Any help?

Thanks...
