Topic: Pixel Art

Oh hell yes, learn Python my friend. It's the best, most logical language in existence.

I'm only just now starting to get my hands dirty with C++. I'm not a fan of it, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it for beginners. Still, it's hard to overlook how powerful it is, and games built in it can be compiled across all platforms (if you use graphics libraries like OpenGL and SDL). I like it a bit more after using Objective-C for several months. (pointers and stuff make more sense now)

And you're correct. I am developing an iOS game right now. Not co-developing though -- this one's a one-man show. :3

In my avatar < Main character sprite for the game we are doing.
Also this one

I call it Pecca, even though it's just a Boar/Javelina.

Why are you making a game with a hybrid of Link nd Conker?

It's suppose to be a jumpsuit, and I didn't have conker in mind when we created him. Someone on the forum suggested a Squirrel. here's the concept art.

Damn, just found this thread via Zez's Backloggery. If I was on the PC I'd show you my Christmas Blaze Thumbnail Art I created but it's on my back up HDD. >_<

Oh, and I did it through Flash Professional CS3 which I don't have anymore...it's pretty good for a Photoshop/Paint hybrid if you are good with animation (I have some experience but I'm not prolific at it).

yay! I knew one day putting that link there would benefit someone~!

Can't wait to see your creations

O__O
This thread should totally be called Polygon_Art now

Here is my current BL backround. It took me about an hour to finish:

I made this while back.

_{Don't know, what I was thinking at that time}

Anybody seen this video clip? It's full of pixel art mastery and the song is nice as well:

After having recently seen some iPod-like art, I decided to make one of my own:

I will not allow this thread to disappear into obscurity. This thread must live on!
So anyways, I've been browsing through some discussions in some other forums some time ago, and I recently found some users' perception of the Zelda enemy Agahnim and many of them somehow intrepreted his sprite in a different way, that it made Agahnim's crown his face. I made a slight touch up on the original sprite and This is how he looks like:

hehe...
It is really interesting to see the different perspectives of others and how they can interpret abstract designs differently. Also, I am laughing on how some of the other users think the green antena of Quote from Cave Story is his nose.

I love pixel art. To bad i'm not good at it. >___<

^ Pixel art is easier than it seems. All you need is a clear picture in mind and a painting software like MS Paint, Gimp, etc, and remember, practice makes perfect. I prefer Gimp using Gimp myself, it even can let you animate you creations like this little sprite I made on my spare time(inspired by the MS DOS games I played way back):

Oh what the heck, here's what I'm working on right now:

@Karakato: Haha that first pic you posted looks like fat Boba Fett. And that sprite you made is awesome.

And you're not making that into a game...?

pix, the text have a funetik fuh-rensh aksent to match the character, oui?

@KomicZ: I am, actually!

@zez: /punch

Another great one pix, look forward to seeing it in completion. Hey I remembered You said something about an iOS Project, it has been months now, would it be ok to give us a little detail on that? Could it be that game you posted above?

@pix

Cool. Would like to see the final product.

I hope to start on my iPhone game project next year. I have all the concept laid out. Just need to purchase the SDK, work with someone familiar with coding and be on the way.

Further plans: Get it on 3DS and Vita and make full use of what those systems offer.

Calling it "Project Pogo".

Don't want to give out it's real name now, but it pays tribute to Nintendo's most popular franchise
