The Resource WIP Thread 3 This thread is meant for users who are creating, or editing their own resources, to post their work-in-progress (abbreviated to WIP) and get feedback on their work such as criticism, advice or simple comments. If you have any game screenshots or maps to show off (including video trailers), please post them in the Game & Map Screenshot Thread. This is not the thread to look for resources - anything posted in this thread cannot be used! Previous WIP threads: The Resource WIP thread 1 The Resource WIP thread 2 Please read and abide by these rules before posting and or commenting: 1. Sprites, portraits, faces, tiles, logos, songs, sound effects - are all allowed as long as it has to do with RPG Maker or Indie Game Maker. 2. When posting your WIP in this thread, please remember that you allow other members to edit that work for criticism. 3. Any work posted in here is not up for grabs and it solemnly belongs to the original creator. Yes, this means you cannot use any resources posted here for yourself, unless it is meant for giving criticism. If the creator eventually posts this in an actual topic in one of the resource forums, then go ahead. Until then, what gets posted here, stays here. 4. When posting a WIP that is not 100% your creation, please note which parts aren't made by you so people can give you more accurate feedback. 5. Please be civil and constructive when handing out criticism. Do not post things such as 'this sucks!' or even 'it's awesome!'. Point out why a work doesn't look so good, and what they can do to improve it. If you want to compliment someone, point out what you think they did well. 6. Please refrain from re-posting your work, unless you've made some edits on it since the last time you posted it. If no one has commented on your work, and it has fallen behind by at least 2 pages, feel free to repost it then. 7. If you have a lot of work to show, please put them behind in spoiler tags! If you want to quote someone's work, I recommend to simply refer to them by name @Username, or to put the quoted work in spoiler tags. This prevents the thread from cluttering up too much. Preferably, don't quote images at all. That's it, remember to be civil and give constructive criticism!

@alice_gristle I like these. You've managed to make the top one look wistful which, given the restrictions of the style, is quite something.

EDIT It's just occurred to me that perhaps that had not been your objective. Oops!

@Kes I wuz not aimin' for wistful especially, but I do want to give each character a set of faces, so I'm def going to explore what emotions I can wrest from these dinky handful of pixels! :biggrin: I'd say wistful is a great start!

It is, since there's usually a lot of 'why nude' and 'floaty head' comments XD
I'd prefer to hear what people think of what's there.

That's just a little logo I had for the Mag-Pets thing from a while ago.

@Holder I love his hair! Hairold :kaoluv: Exquisite work as always! Do the boots look a li'l bit papery tho, or is my eyes deceivin'? They kinda look like they cud use a bit of, umm, roundness and volume somehow? Dunno what you might be able to do wid 'em :kaoswt:

Continuing portraits today. Pleased with my faces so far, usually I can't do them at all.

and finished, but started on Harold: for those interested in structure-

At this stage I did a lot of scaling, rotating and flipping.

@Holder armour looks nice! I cud nag about her midriff bein' exposed to stabby stabness, but nah, it's a nice-lookin' design! :kaoluv: Also Harold lookin' right heroic already :biggrin:

I been doin' my Alice's Frisky Fantasy Females graphic pack and I'm always kinda amazed at how much actual expressions you can fit into just a few pesky pixels. :kaoswt:

Drawin' clouds is sometimes too much fun for me. :biggrin: Background work for Alice's Frisky Fantasy Females! :kaoluv:

So, I'm makin' edits, and I keep thinkin' I want something in her hair. Tryin' out a garland, but... TELL ME, WITH OR WITHOUT GARLAND? :kaoswt: Also not exactly happy how the garland is lookin' but that's beside the point at the moment...

@alice_gristle I like the garland, it's a cute pop of color. Though I think flipping how it sits could help, I did a quick edit of how I'd probably do it. :)

@hiddenone whoops, you're totally right! :kaoslp: Thank you a bunch, Ima do that and keep the garland!

I did some pixel art and I need some feedback of this. (I'm a beginner so start to judge everything about since I tried my best
Also I added generations of what it would look like if generation 1 started off as 1 bit. Also please tell me which one you like best.
Just updated the screenshot.

I have moved your sprite feedback out of the Resource Request section into the Resource WIP thread.

Best advice I can give you at the moment is look at your thumbnail, it's zoomed out and gives you a more clear view of what you can and can't see.
To me, on the way that you've done them all number 4 has clear arms and legs, since there's a lot of contrast to them-making those parts easily seen as separate details.
You'll see that the harsh red and white sections are also clearly marked.
What you can do to help this is darken the body, that's pushed back and would not receive any light, this will in turn make the arms and legs stand out even more.

Contrast is a great thing to learn in pixel art, helps show shapes and makes defining areas a lot easier.

I feel like I should add what I've been working on as well. I wanted to start making character art assets and to get a good style, I started with the default MV characters. Once I'm done with them (or at least some of them), I'll add my own designs to the pack.

It's a bit big, so it's in a spoiler

Yeah I know it isn't the best I'm still learning since this is my first pixel art that I ever made.
