Ristar

wow they photographed that lady's legs quite badly. i know women's legs go like that, but they come across as being disproportionatewsdxccv.

it's lovely... but I want more epic. make it bigger!

don't be pissy, just take the constructive criticism on board.

from what i can tell, it seems like you've just jumped straight into your game with little to no planning. how does this boss relate in any way to the plot of your game? i think you should really research some final bosses for a start, they're usually huge complex or symbolic looking things. Your design feels very uninspired, my friend.

it looks like the bombs from final fantasy.

looks like Klonoa 2 meets Sparkster. though I reckon they should have like totally paid me to use the sparkster design i posted here like 2 years ago. edit: SG, on a completely unrelated note, I'm 99% sure I walked past Luckett the other day

FUCK YES. I got Sparkster like 4 months before Ristar, probs 2 of my favourite games for megadrive. fucking yes i love sparkster. though... in the screenshot it does seem they've gayed sparkster up a bit.

there's a lot of contrast issues on that last sprite. the orange for his muzzle and stomach is too harsh and blends in with the yellow of the rest of him too much. make the yellow a much brighter colour and add some more of the black outline from the shoes to the top of the sprite. remember, the GBA originally didn't have a backlight and even later, not an amazing backlight. it's all about good use of contrast with colours and light and dark. if you squint and look at the sonic sprite, you still know what's what. in yours it just becomes an orange mess.

the colours and shading are just lovely, you just need to address the issues with the lineart listed above.

it's fine, just one more pair of deaf ears my advice falls on

get a wire coat hanger, bend it into a circle, get a pair of tights and stretch them over the coathanger. Bam, you have a pop shield, helps with the breathing. or you could just go Tay Zonday.

BF looks a little like Mitch Hedberg in the first pic. But then again, straight, layered long hair and shades = Instant Hedberg

it's got a lot of energy which is sweet but it's very very hard to read :\

hahaha man that reminds me of a sonic advance style shading tutorial I did years ago. you've got the right idea but you need to remember to bump up the contrast a bit in order to get proper sadv style sprites. the gameboy could probably benefit from being a lot smaller, you should think about your light source and make sure it's consistent throughout the image.

Disgaea (PSP) Disgaea 2 (PS2) Fatal Frame (PS2) Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (DS) Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (DS) Speaking of which, did they change Luke's voice in the UK version of Prof Layton and the Curious Village? My gf's got the uk vers. and I don't remember Luke's voice being so fucking annoying.

Deliverance - Opeth I'd do bad bad things to Miley Cyrus.

apparently wings3D is quite good.

After the Gold Rush - Neil Young Still Life - Opeth and lots of Doug Stanhope.

I couldn't get past 10 seconds of the video. Not only did her voice and face annoy me, the fucking audio was panned to the left, what a dick.

I turned 20 last Thursday, I take it you're all pitching together to buy me a new PS3? Cheers lads.

Hahah nahhh Otley Run was ages ago, I have no idea where the tash came from. It was over at Headingley Taps Karaoke... I think it was lesbian night. I've not yet done an Otley Run, I generally have about 5 pints then decide I hate everyone and go home. I was on Jagermeister and Lemon that night though, so all was pretty good.

I hear Infamous is quite good. I just finished Castlevania SOTN last week, finished Resident Evil 5 yesterday, both of which are class games. I've had a very short attention span as of late so I'm not really getting into games that much, I did just download Splosion Man and Worms 2 Armageddon off Xbox Live and they're quite good.

blow it up to 2x and don't use jpg, it'll help people see the pixelart better.

You've got to hand it to Nintendo, they know how to extrapolate their characters much better than Sega. I want a Sonic meets Silent Hill type game... it'd be like Gregory Horror Show, but with chaos emeralds and shit.

yeah I do, starting my second year of my art degree in september i don't really have an online portfolio anymore, but i had a few topics over in the art forum that sunk to god knows where you still making lovely engines?
