Still new to Pixel art. Backgrounds are really hard for me. Need much more practice.

My first pixel thing around 6 month ago.


It looks horrible. After some more reading abut hte topic i made this:


Can you believe its from the same day? :D

After that I tried to make a grass tile. Not easy


Version 1 on the left was very unsatisfying so I tried to copy the secret of mana grass. While the tiles itslef looked better now I have a strong grid look. I have no idea how to get rid of that effect.

Back to characters. Wanted to make a pixel illustration. Theme: Duck

Sketches


Decided to go for no. 3



The final piece after colour correction.



After that I joined a friend on her Star Trek Voyager fang game.

I found the base sprite in an RPG maker forum. Forgot the link.


I also started on some tilesets but they are very heavy under construction I will show them later.

Latly I am on a 1 bit trip but i only found this one:


As we plan a new RPG maker game after the Voyager thing is over. I started to research and experiment different styles.This is from todays session.


Colour is even more imortant in pixelart so I will continue to work on that. Comments & critics are welcome. I would love to improve.

I used photoshop for most of them. The last 4 are made with Aseprite.

That duck picture is really good because it has a nice base as a drawing by itself, beyond it being pixel art.

I think you need to cut down on the dark, dark lines everywhere, light it more consistently and constantly, and clean it all up, and you'd have an excellent piece, really. Nice work!

Thanks. Yeah you are absolutly right about the black lines. But it's hard for me to go back to an old piece. I will incorporate it into the next. (My newer sprit tests allready avoid to much blacklining.)
