Gaostic super newbie gallery

[manix11]

So today i made my first 3 sprites, i know they arent even close to "Good" ones but i really really want t learn how to sprite well.
My biggest problem is the borders are ruining everything + i cant manage to make good shades
So im asking for ur opinion and help so i can become better.

witch armor
Bronze armor

Magma Hammer
a tree
Test wall
Futuristic helmet (?)







I've prepared for criticism!
Cheers

are you planning on making tibia sprites?
if so use 32*32 image and shade so the light comes from the left

That was ruff haha, yes im planing that, u think shouldnt?
32*32 shade? what dou mean excactly?

 

[Jonte9801]

32 by 32 pixels image and imagine the light coming from the left and that means that the right side should be darker than the left side

Thats what i wanted to know, thanks mate
Making weapons/armors is the best way to practice?

 

[Jonte9801]

i think practicing armors is the best way to learn shading and making outlines and think of the object youre spriting as a 3d object

Damm, its impossible, i've started new project 32x32
Im unable to make details or any nice stuff, the ending effects looks like some shitty pixel art ( even worsee that i did earlier )
its really resolution 32x32?
Cheers

32x32 pixels
yeah, at the beginning it's hard to draw in such a small square, but you have to see it from a distance, and have to look good from distance you know? that' a way you see how your work is truly working out. Also remember every pixel is really important, so choose wisely where to put them

 

[manix11]

@Thorn
Yeah, i was suprised that it looks like that ( ive worked with much higher resolutions earlier )
so big respect guys, ima learn learn and learn
cheers

Dude i have some tutorial, if u want, pm me because is other sites. To improve your works

 

[Jonte9801]

@manix11 heres a little example that you can use when you make youre own outlines.

The Dragon Scale Sword, currently looks like a dagger. I would extend blade (slim it) and make the hilt shorter on both sides.
If your looking to make a sword handed sword, most often they don't even have a hilt except very very short on both sides.

edit-- Hilt.

 

[manix11]

Thanks for the feedback guys!
@Jonte9801
Thats some nice outines made in 32x32
I guess its pretty hard to do when u need evey pixel to be placed well, yeah?

@Thorn
Which free program do u suggest to use to make sprites?

 

[manix11]

Made mine very first shield
Shades are better than earlier but still bad
Can someone edit it so show me how the shades supposed to be look like?
Cheers

 

[Jonte9801]

one example i made this in a hurry so it dosent look great but look at the shading in my opinion its a good example.

 

[manix11]

mhm, cool but u changed the colors
So im using wrong colors or what?

 

[Jonte9801]

Never use gray and i changed the colour around just because i thought that it looks more realistic with the darker greenish colour.
