I love all of the work in it, it's very inspiring. I tried using the tree exercise as well, it's definitely better than the trees I was making. 6 colorsI think I'll try my hand at making a little animation next. Keep up the awesome work in here!

So Supajackie on Tumblr had a fun little idea. I'll just quote him 'cos it's easier.quote:I thought that the idea of giving a bunch of artists a bland, basic, “bad” piece and having them each take it and fix it up and give it their own spin and style is just SO COOL!   So gently caress it, why not get everyone here to give it a go? We've got a load of different artists in the thread who are all at different levels, so it'll be good practice for some and a chance to show off for others. quote:There aren’t too many rules! You can add more tiles, take away tiles, rearrange them! Whatever you want! Just as long as the final product resembles the base in some way and you stay within the current tile size, 16x16 for the tiles, and 16x24(or smaller) for the player! Here's how my attempt worked out.

That's such a coincidence. My boyfriend linked me to an article that ended in a similar exercise (different starting tiles but the same idea). I haven't had a chance to try it out but I might try it on your example for thread cohesion.

It was actually going to be a sequel to World War Goon, a CYOA thread I made in GBS a few years ago. I kinda got ahead of myself and made all of these sprites and resources, then couldn't think of a way to make it an interesting thread participation-based game. I've still got a few ideas floating around, so I might revisit it at some point, but I've got a few other projects taking up my free time now.

CYOA would be really cool because the players would only have the limited view on which to base their moves. "Let's ford that river! Yeah!" *YOU ENCOUNTER A MACHINEGUN NEST ON THE OPPOSITE BANK*

I'm almost tempted to jump in and say "let's make a video game!" Love the contrast between the fairly gritty world and corpses, but the bright and cartoon-y characters.

I participated in it as a clown and it was great. I didn't make it to the end but it was fun. Also, those sprites look wonderful. E: Suppose I should share some of the stuff I've been working on for a project in allegro.

I haven't pixelled anything for years, but since everyone else was making trees I felt like joining in. Not quite happy with the bottom-right side of the leaves, but it seems alright to me.

 Today I laid down some experimental palettes to try laying over my greyscale sprites. I'm thinking of having a few different palettes to denote different game elements such as friendly, enemy, interactive and environment. Anyway for now I'm just trying to get something with more pop than a simple gradient.

Did a little 16x16 tree for work but it just came out... kind of generic?  Any advice on how to make it more interesting? I couldn't really make as many branches/distinct segments of tree with the size, and the trunk just kind of ended up being noise more than any real texture.

Heavy Lobster posted:Did a little 16x16 tree for work but it just came out... kind of generic?   I did some edits to your colour ramp to bring in a bit more range, swapped the black for a very dark purple. Most of the form edits were trying to bring some hierarchy into the crown by making the parts closer to the viewer brighter and darkening the areas that recede. Also edited the highlights with a light source in the upper left in mind.

 What program do you draw with? Most tools I use are really tedious to draw repetitive straight lines like that. Especially at angles.

Photoshop. And it pretty much *is* tedious, i'm just very used to it. That said for scanline stuff I just draw one pixel a bunch of times at one pixel interval, then transform > stretch horizontal. And I just animated this fucker! It's not how it should be, but I'm starting to enjoy doing overly expressive idles. This is probably going to get annoying to constantly look at though, I think?

In PS you can make the scanlines a pattern and just bucket tool it all over your image. http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Photoshop-Pattern

Commented on this over on Twitter, but I still can't unsee that right eye as anything but  . Not that this is an issue.Relating to it getting annoying, the only thing that stands out when looking around it for a lengthy time is the gun's movement, for some reason. Probably something about the end line thickening and thinning.

If you're working in photoshop you should be able to make a 1x2 pattern that's just a single black pixel and a single transparent pixel. Define pattern -> pattern fill -> instant horizontal scan lines. Same thing works in 2x1 for vertical, or a 2x2 black-transparent checkerboard pattern will work for a quick dithering pattern.

I'm a little confused as to where the light source is supposed to be coming from. The belly in particular is pretty banded, which doesn't really give much information about the shape of an object.

I figured out getting isometric art to work on a basic 2d grid (specifically roll20) and I'm working on putting together art for an rpg module to play on it. The plan is for there to be combat in a tavern and a dungeon so that's what I'll be making more art for. I'm actually looking for any artists who'd be interested in helping. This first one is where I was testing it out and you can see the grid it's snapping objects to,  and then I started working on a dungeon floor and some skeletons.  All of this is double size in roll20. BashfulBanana fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Sep 17, 2013 |

Thanks a ton for this - I tried to redo it following what you did without just remaking yours and it turned out decidedly better.    Still a lot wrong with it, but much, much better. I decided to go more yellowish for the lighter greens, but I added another shade as I was fiddling so the ramp ended up really sloppy. The shape ended up a little less natural too since I got frustrated and couldn't quite make the top-middle bough not look like a square cutoff going right. Still, learned a lot about shading (and how big an effect a black border can have on something's profile - I added it afterwards just to see what it would look like and it changes the tone of it entirely), I'm really pleased with how the trunk looks kind of split at the base, and I've put enough time into it that I'm ready to just do something else now with what I picked up. Thanks again for the pointers!
