Pixel Dolls | Forest Lords | Voidwalker

OC: Voidwalker

This project is for "doll" cards with characters for a potential novel (gay romantic epic fantasy) series.

Marked Mature for whoever needs it for a non-sexualized bare chest.

Notes:

Drawing programs used: Piskel and Paint.net.

Original size: 192 by 216 pixels. Magnified here 3x.

Thirty-nine colors used. Roughly half are for the fluffy collar, because I got carried away with it.

The formal tunic was inspired by a photo reportedly of garb for a royal, likely a queen, of the Society for Creative Anachronism's Trimaris in Florida. I don't know who the costumer, photographer, Pinterest tagger, or reenactor royals are because web searches are a mess.

I saw your post about not getting much feedback, and I agree that your work is very niche, but digital paper dolls are exactly my niche and I’m glad I came up check it out.

Well done overall, you rendered the details well with this style. My one point of confusion is why you posted screenshots of your own work - did the originals come out too small or similar? If so, I can help you figure out how to upscale your drawings in Piskel, that’s what I use for pixel art myself!

Maybe one way to get yourself some attention would be to team up with a programmer and make an entry for my Costume Jam, which is a game jam focused on dress-up games and virtual paper dolls like these. It ends on the 31st, so you’ll have time, there’s no judging stage, and I’ll be posting about all the entries that are made once the jam ends!

Thank you for your feedback on this!

With too many things breaking around me, I don't think I can contribute to the Costume Jam. But that seems really fun! I'm looking forward to seeing what dress-up game creators share this month.

In answer to your question about the screenshots—I can't access the project files, currently. I was removing the posts from the Mastodon instance, so I put those up as placeholders until I can pull up the original images again.

Update on Oct 24, 2023: I've replaced the first screenshot. The rest is staying for my convenience... with the assumption it's not bothersome for others.

Update on May 4, 2023: No more screenshots!
