I make art in real life, but pixel art always eluded me, so I'm a try and get some practice in. This is for a small project I'm participating in. C&C please.

First Draft

Second Draft




Looking really good Jittai. I never knew you could pixel, this looks pretty good.
I think my background in art is helping the transition, that and photoshop's layer system.
Try a deeper contrast between colors.
Upped, then lowered the contrast. Did a wizard, I wanted to try out hair and light sources with in the sprite, gave me some trouble. Tell me what you think.
I like the third one. The first is a bit washed out and the second is a little oversaturated, though either of them could work in the right overall graphical style. Love the wizards beard and the fire, but he does look a bit... pregnant?
Wow, thats pretty epic. Keep it up.
Thinned the Wizard out. Thanks for all the feed back. Hopefully I can pump it out faster, taking way too long, lol.
He looks like a ballerina.. I liked him the way he was before. Sweet pixel art by the way. Wish I could do this stuff.
Yeah, that might be a bit too thin. I think it was more of a shading thing than an outline issue.
Ok, updated lol.
I like it. The shadow under the beard helps give it a bit more depth and takes out some of the roundness of the belly. Nice :)
Thanks!
Much better.
The robes look kind of flat and smooth rather than flowing and rippling, if that makes any sense. Looks more like a flower petal than it does cloth.
Shaping is really good!
Did a knight but it's not really coming out how I 'd like.
Sorry for a late reply, not sure what you were going for with the mage, but this is a quick 5 minute messy edit to get you thinking of the natural flow of robes, clothes etc.

Also the dithering isn't needed as it does nothing to improve the piece. Just makes it more messy. And as UPD4T3 said, contrast is very important.

Too many colors. Not the best use of the medium.

I've never understood this, why are colours a bad thing?
Also to add to Yut Put, it's a small piece you're working on, and using too many colors will make it look messy and as Yut said, detract from the overall quality.
