I've seen 2 of your works frontpaged now and haven't seen any suggestions or criticism on them. So I'm going to be brutally honest here. Retro style pixel art can look amazing but in my opinion this does not. I find your pixel art to be amateurish. Your colours are very basic and don't work well together. You don't want to overuse colours that are too obnoxiously bright (those colours that you see in the default ms paint pallet = Bad). Many things look out of proportion and some parts just look badly shaped. In pieces like this, when line work looks too sharp or oddly shaped, you can use slightly lighter colours around it to give the impression of anti-aliasing and reshape it. lastly you are abusing pixel dithering. the over-dithered look is a pet peeve of mine. I suggest exploring and practicing other shading techniques and using dithering more subtly.
Reviews for "Castle Crashers Demake"
Why thanks for the constructive criticism (it shouldn't hurt). It should be helpful as I'm aware of mistakes and I do want to humble myself when making art. I do not want to delete this comment otherwise not only does it offend you but it made me like a fool. I've taken Photoshop for game art back in 2013 and my Teacher help me as a better student and an artists through Constructive Criticism.
Very nice art. If behemoth did this game in eight bit, I'm sure it would looks like that. Keeps the good works !!!
Wether Behemoth remade this game either 8-bit or 16-bit I will throw money at it and buy it.
Great art!
I saw that you worked on MS Paint, is paint really the best choice for pixel art?
I mean, I love it, and I've done some work in paint, but I always wondered, is there a better software for such thing?
I usually make perfect circles using the circle tool sometimes if I use the tile sets I've made. It's still useful making pixel art but you cannot zoom in more closer in paint. You can zoom more in GIMP and I think the latter allows you to make custom animation so GIMP is a good choice for a free program.
Nice work! I love it! Though, I never played Castle Crashers before, but I have seen walkthrough videos of it on Youtube back then. ^_^
Thanks. I watched my siblings and their friends played it and defeated the final boss. I really need to play this game if it was released on any next generation console or PC in the future.
Cool Art Dude!!
