After blogging yesterday about finding an artist I got this urge to doodle something on paper. I “borrowed” (that’s a nice way to say “I copied his art”) a creature design from Kwanchai Moriya and started drawing something on paper. And then using my computer & GIMP to put some pixels and colors together.
I ended up drawing these lil’ chaps here.
Look, they can even bloody animate:
And with awesome background coloring:
I might give this guy (= that would be me) a test run and do something and see how this turns out. My skills are probably at least enough for some prototyping.
I started coding games when I was a small kid with access to Commodore 64.
There is hope for me yet then!
Did you use alpha transparency around the characters edges?
I think he might need slightly darker/brigher eyes?
I can recommend http://www.afmgames.com/ if you’re still looking.
Communication is great (most important point for me when it comes to artists), they are affordable and always delivered quality work.
You can take a look at the screenshots section of http://www.blimpwarsonline.com/ to have an idea of what they have done for me.
I use this guy (http://antongustilo.com/) he does great work and very affordable.
Thanks for the links.
@Arowx: I actually used gimp “pixelate” filter after drawing sharp edges. Darker eyes indeed would be needed.
