I mean I'd say you've got your style pretty well nailed down.

I suppose what i should say is that i'm trying to make my style look good. I'm still learning how best to portray shape and depth and etc with as little colour as possible.

Also yeah i have dabbled in animation before but it's the sort of thing i'd have to be really quite determined to do, since it takes so long and, from experience, can be pretty infuriating.

And here's a thing i did earlier:

A silhouette thing for a nun mecha quest first post I've been thinking about doing lately.

Pretty good, although a little flat, but i dunno if that was what you were going for or not. Besides, dimension with sillouettes is hard.

Here's some things i've been doing: (mostly just testing and trying to solidify a style.)

I fucking adore your sci-fi sprites, those are so cool! I see that cute ass dragon too. Is there anywhere else I can follow your work?

Thanks! I have a twitter, https://twitter.com/EpikJay155 , although It's sort of a mish-mash of just random stuff and art.
I also have discord, if you want that you can message me. (In hindsight that's not exactly a good way to get acess to art unless you're in an actual discord channel so uh.. I don't get much sleep and it's like 9:30 over here ok leave me alone)

By the way,

Those marble guys (they are ripped like statues and also white, thus marble) are the best.
the 'marble guys' aren't actually marble, it's just the art style that i stick with when drawing them, but thanks!

Also, obligatory pixelarts because i can't post anything here without atleast some pixels.


(Is self promotion allowed? Does linking to my twitter = self promotion? If i get banned i want you all to remember me as the best guy who only ever posted on this one thread.)

Fakedit: Actually, did you use some strange filters or some kind of a transparent gradient layer on top of the pieces to the right and left? Something looks a little off with the colors.

The big image with them all has some post processing on it because i figured it looked a little better from a distance. I was too lazy to go through them and put all the raw images together again so i just took the one I had already done. Also explains why it was so big.

Thanks for the compliments, though! I'm really proud of these but i didn't think they were all that good.

Here's all three in a managable size with no post-processing. More to come, in the near future hopefully!

Dead thread but i don't cARE



Here's all three much larger (And i mean you'll probably need to open it in another tab because it renders too large on the actual page) for my twitter banner. There's a bit of Post Processing also because i'm a cheat

They're also in order of completion so that explains any possible improvements between them. If anyone has any ideas on what i should do next in this style feel free to tell me. I'm really enjoying this so far.

BEHOLD

The hideous amalgamation of MAN and BLOBFISH rises from the depths of the deepest trenches and smittens all heathen creatures with it's mighty boomstick. None shall rise again, heed the true-spoken gurgles of your new overlord.


sorry for necroing

I've been trying to get the hand of swordplay recently and as a result have created this.



Feedback on how to make it look more fluid or natural would be appreciated. The idea is that it's a trained and controlled strike.

Bigger version, if you need it:

A new in-between version has been released. It's got a whole new creature in it and some major tweaks/improvements to the other two. Check the actual post for the download.

To make Grim attacks more threatening, maybe give it a bogeyman instant-kill ability.  You can make an ability target only night creatures by making it require all of their universal tags, and instant-kill by transforming them into an evaporating creature.  That way it will kill all bogeys on screen when it appears and force you to fight it alone.

That's a pretty good idea. It's not entirely my focus to fix it up right now, what with being in the middle of another creature, but i'll play around with some things and see if i can't get it to work better than it does. Shouldn't be too hard, i've learnt a lot since i first put it together.

I know it's probably worse like that, but i can't help my prefference of mood over aesthetics.

desaturate the stones some more and it might look just as good. Having bright stones with a dark bridge makes the two look disconnected.

I know it's probably pretty shit, especially compared to the works of art you've all been chirning out. What can I improve?

I've also been making miniscule Coats of Arms for a forum game I'll soon start. Would love some feedback on them too!


Looks pretty good for a first time. One thing i would take note of is balance. Right now he looks like he's about to slip over backwards. Maybe re-position the leg slightly so it's stabilizing a little more. The legs themselves are also an odd shape. I see you probably went for a calf type thing, but it just ends up making the legs look unnatural. Or rather, un-human. For a standing pose, you'd want them more straight.
There are also more subtle angle changes that could be done, like how the vest should curve around the shoulder rather than having a straight line but that's just nit-picking at this point.

As for the coats of arms, they look great. Nothing i can really say about them besides maybe making the shading more uniform. Some have a lot of shading and others are simple colours.

Declare!

The drone backs up a little and hovers from side to side.
"It is inevitable, yes. But we are fair with our conquering. All we need is your co-operation and everything will go swimmingly!"



As the drone finishes talking, a man-sized pod rumbles out of orbit and into the atmosphere. It crashes into the planet with a considerable quake and a hefty shroud of dust.



The drone turns around at the sound and beeps in pleasant surprise.
"Ah! That'll be the initialization team."
