I’m in! – A look at the progression of my art

Hi there! Does it surprise you? After 10 Ludum Dares it shouldn’t. I’m in!

Tools:

Text-editor: Sublime Text 3

Engine/Framework: Baa, my own javascript library.

Art: Aseprite

Music: Pixitracker

SFX: jsfxr

Stream: Here. I will try streaming, but I will quit if I think it’s too distracting.

___________________________________________

Now that’s done, I want to talk about my art, and how my skill has changed over the past Ludum Dares. Let’s start, shall we?

ld1

What is this? A square headed creature I guess. It doesn’t even have arms. And look at those dotted eyes. It’s hilarious how bad I was when I started.

ld2

There’s some progression. I’ve added a mouth and arms. I even made hair for the female character.

ld3

Look at the details! A tie, a beard, and a hat. He even has shoes. If I keep getting progressing like this, I will be the next Paul Robertson in no time!

ld4

Well.. uhm.. I mean.. he’s standing in a really difficult position. And the other guy has a hand. OH AND EYEBROWS! Yes, I managed to do eyebrows. And uhm.. HAIR!

ld5

Look at the details on those costumes. the beard of the wizard. Those lines under the eyes of the soldier. You can really see my progression in this art. Let’s see what’s up next!

ld6

…. What the hell is this? Maybe I hit my head and forget everything I knew about pixelart. Time to start all over again I guess. Sigh…

ld7

Well… they don’t have a mouth, or much detail. But the woman is holding a baby, so that’s something.

BONUS!

Baby choking :D! I mean..  baby choking.. :(

*cough* Okay,  on to the next one!

ld8

Well, they don’t have arms, legs, hair, or humans skin. But they have emotions, so that’s something. Right?

ld9

And this is the last one. Those are some fine details in the costumes, they don’t show a lot of emotion, but they have noses and hair. .. sigh.

So there you go. My great progression in pixelart. Maybe in 3 years, I will start using shadows and more advanced stuff like that. Who knows? I just gotta keep progressing, and avoid hitting my head. Thanks for reading, and good luck!

Do some simple shading and it’ll make a huge difference. That can be your next step 😛
