I think there should be a stronger highlight on the eyes, though. They're covered with liquid so they reflect light pretty well.

This looks slightly better than the original. But you still need a stronger highlightfor light reflection. Try googling some picutres of eyes and use for reference.

Well, first of all. You shouldn't make assumptions if you don't have evidence. I peronally don't think any of my work is at all anything like Theme Hospital.
Just don't bollocks up this thread with stuff like that anymore, unless you find shit that anyone here has copied. And stop talking with one sentence on a few hundred lines.

Ones where the colours you have mixed, initially stand out, but after a while they grow on you and it's very good use of them.
I'm thiinking that you should make this game. More info please :D

Great work!

Well, its not clear yet but what i would quite like to do is where you go down an isometric road dodge cars, gain speed and try and catch up with other people. With isometric buildings in the background :D. Ill try making the wheels now

It's been talked about in this thread already. I still personally prefer MS Paint.

I've never understood that website. I don't visit it much because I think the navigation is ugly, and I've not understood what it's for.

That's what I was thinking. Except maybe have, well I was going to say buildings in sillhiouette, but I thought about it and it wouldn't work as well as it did on some of my old F1 racing games I played on the Sega. Oh how I miss that machine.

Good use of highlights. Maybe use a darker grey/silver for the outline for the "thing". It looks like a dumpster thing that they have in America.
But yeah, it looks good. Nice colour selection for the walls aswell.

Adding to what ArthurGhostly had written:

Also, another thing I tend to stress with buildings is the doors and windows.
Try "indenting" them a pixel in or something. It will make it look like they are actually working facilities (right word?) instead of just being painted onto the wall.

Fuzz reccomended Graphics Gale, which is basically the choice of professionals, the only program I know of used more then Graphics Gale for pixel art is pro motion.

I still prefer MS Paint.

I'll keep trying new stuff in GraphicsGale though. Even if I do find it hidious :(

I like how it preserves the pixel aspect ratio and whatall... The only things I think it could use are a feature to select individual pixels, no matter what color, and better color management. Does anyone have the version you msut pay for? How is it different?

Not bad for 30 mins work in a program you don't know your way around.
I do agree, there are some things I'd change about it aswell.
I don't think anhyone in this thread has bought it though.

something doesnt sit well with me, maybe its the vibrations or the wheel spinning animation, ahh well, im looking forward to the game,

oh, and to whoever it was on the last page, it isnt the colour of the eye, its glare from a lightsource, a reflection, it kinda overpowers the colour of the eye

I had fun creating these little buidlings here.
I'm going to make a pretty large village with them and stuff, I've already started actually. The canvas was about 900 wide and 700 high. Something like that.

You should use photoshop or a program with layers so that you can anrange them easily and be able to move each building seperatly.

I've tried Photoshop out for pixel art. It's too complicated for what I like to do.
IMO the only advantage would be colouring with slight transparency. I just get confused with the layers and such.
I do have Fireworks though, so if I really needed layers to lay it all out, I could do it there.

I've volunteered to do artwork, and was chosen for a game by the dude from Free Creation Games.

Looking at the game engine he's amde and the demos he has uploaded on a protected url. Some parts, I have great ideas for, other, I don't have a clue how I'm going to do it.

Anyway, I was thinking of using this shading technique in the game.
So, C&C will really help me now.
(Forget about the pink around the edge though).
