Re: Not all art makes good sprites

I think a couple of things are mixed up here : getting a separation between the foreground (sprites) and background, avoiding that sprites look like "cardboard cutouts" and conflicting art styles. A separation between foreground and background can be achieved with lines but it's certainly...

Re: Not all art makes good sprites

An interesting theory, Periwinkle, but I have to agree with what others are saying about painterly/lineless sprites. It is very dependent on the project, and overall style thereof. I will say that I agree with you about the simplicity of sprites, however... they need to be adaptable to a variety of...

Re: Not all art makes good sprites

I think painterly style works very well as sprites, just that cel-shades with thick lines are much easier(faster) to make, and a lot cheaper(can make more) to produce. This is mostly due in part to the border cleaning and anti-aliasing. It's a lot more consuming to clean up the edges of a meticulou...

Re: Not all art makes good sprites

Have you ever seen Love At First Sight? It uses "painterly" sprites like the ones in the Danganronpa cutscenes, and I think they still look pretty darn good. Although, it's a style that seems more dark and fitting to horror type games. Ultimately I think any art can make a good sprite as ...

Re: Not all art makes good sprites

Within the understanding that it is only your opinion, as well as mine, I'll toss what I think in the hat. I completely disagree with said notion. It just sounds like you prefer a sharper appearance to sprites. That is fine, everyone have their preferences, but to go so far to tell someone "Do...

Not all art makes good sprites

Before anything I want to say that this is just my opinion. I'm not saying your art is bad or that you should change how you draw if you feel that this post applies to you. I'm merely giving advice based on a combination of what I think looks nice as well as what I've seen become successful. There a...

Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^

Critique is appreciated. Hey there! I have a few pointers for you. -The character is leaning too much to the left. Flip your canvas horizontally every now and then to notice things like this. -The hair looks nice, it has good volume. Good job! -The neck needs more structure - the curve is too soft....

Re: This World Unknown [Fantasy, Otome, GxB]

Okay but if the main character is a 17 year old child why is she able to romance a 29 year old man? That's really creepy

Re: SHINRAI - Broken Beyond Despair [Murder Mystery]

I was a little uncertain about buying this game at first, but I'm so glad I did. This game was so much fun! It's probably my new favourite indie visual novel. One problem I did have with it was the age of the characters. They didn't look or act at all like middle schoolers, which took away from the ...

Re: Sweet Hearts Academy [Highschool murder mystery/horror]

Hey! I'd be interested in helping the development of this game. The two things I could help with would be writing and sprite art. For writing, I could write scenes on my own and such, but I would also be available as an editor. In this post I spotted some grammatical, sentence structural, and paragr...
