Sprites - PixelArt at its Finest
Last week contest was about Transformation! I wanted to draw something about nature, man transforming nature, industrialization, deforestation. Those are really common things to think about in this particular theme.
The Sprite Work
Even if Spriting looks like a lot of simple and small images put together, they actually take so much time to do mostly if you want to make things look nice and smooth. Its so time consuming that I usually avoid it and stick to single big images. However, making a sprite art look smooth is just great, even if its something simple as a growing tree. I took the lazy approach on this, making the tree first then shrinking it little by little.
This approach is so simple that anybody can do it! Just take one big sprite, copy it and cut it a bit, fix misplaced pixels, then repeat! It actually took me only 2~3 hours to do almost 30 frames. Now, imagine the entire forest grow at the same style! I'll sure come back to this and redraw it one day.
Now the background, simple, big sun and a hot desert. The palette actually works great to achieve this.
Thanks for Watching

STOPWooow. I love this. I'm fascinated from PixelArt, i'd like a lot being able to do this kind of art!!! Keep it up, i follow you for more stuff.
Its very simple, and it follows the basics of drawing art: start out small and learn about constructing. Set up some paint-alike program and practice you mouse work. Find something small and simple to draw and sprite it and always keep a look for how other people have done the same thing so you can learn new techniques.
