Topic: Pixel Art

I made some concept art of a minimalistic platformer starring a robot mind shared between two separate units. Having played chronos twins recently and an old nes game of two penguin lovers _{forgot the name} , I was inspired to do this.

Also updated my Avatar, which at the moment, is still a bit rough on the effects.

Those are awesome Karakato. Monochrome ftw.

Decided to do this sprite work during my free time. Its my avatar's character at a stance. Might not be as good as I intended, but it will do.

EDIT Did what pix told me to do and here is the finished sprite:

You should give his legs some motion. Like make him bob up and down slightly, haha. Looks really cool though. D:

@pix yeah thanks for that, Hopefully I could at least become half as good as you in pixel art.
On a side note though, You are co-developing a project for the iOS right? Is it okay if I could hear a little info on it? I plan on making programming(game development in particular) a hobby of mine in the future. I used to develop some Flash projects, but now I wan't to try working with Real Programming languages. I want to ask you, Is python the best beginner friendly program or would you recommend C++(an object oriented language would be preferred) for making simple games to platfomers? I know Learning a language isn't easy at all, But I'm willing to take the effort in learning every equation needed. Any tips for beginners? Thank you in advanced and sorry if I bothered.

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

Next week a store in my city has an offer - buy a 25€ iTunes Store card for only 20€!
I'll buy one and then I'll get EDGE touch (1.59€) for my iPod touch. It's a great pixelart editor with lots of great features like a grid, multiple layers, full color spectrum, tracing, viewing full picture and zoomed in one at the same time and even animations. And all your pixelart can be exported as PNG, animated GIF and JPG I can't wait!
So expect to see a lot of pixelart from me soon
It'll probably be bad at first but I'll keep on practicing and maybe in a few months I can make awesome pixelart

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):
