Pixel Art Parlor

[ember hearth]

Thread for any cool “pixel art” you worked on!

Billy Hatcher in Sonic 3 (the game’s sprite style was a very huge mess to work with)

[eternal thistle]

i made an entire sprite sheet a while ago that's based on my OC main character that i draw alot around in the channels, still proud of it, even now looking back on it

i still love these two sprites with how expressive they look lol

[ember hearth]

Almost like a fighting Mario/Sonic

[eternal thistle]

kinda like those two yea, but add in standard anime fighting too as well.

You ever just happily smile and wave, people are happy to see you, then BONK

[undone thorn]

Pixel Art Thread hype!

[ember hearth]

"Sonic 3" style NiGHTS (don't know why I decided to also take this on)

[ember hearth]

SMB3 (All-Stars) Foreman Spike (done in time for the Mario Movie)
Waluigi was from December, his hat is updated now

[proud dawn]

an unusual undertaking for me, but I pokemon-gen-1-ed my sona tonight because why not I guess

[celest wing]

Considering this chat just opened this gives me the perfect excuse to re-share the Star Fox- fighting game project I have (I call it Lylat Fighters!)

[ember hearth]

Sami (Advance Wars) in Contra NES (somewhat edited from Bill)
(sprited this as I preordered Advance Wars Reboot Camp)

[eternal thistle]

Sprite edit of adapting the All Stars versions of Mario 2/USA to look closer to their NES sprites

[eternal thistle]

Did some sprites of Mario & Peach that's based on the movie

[celest wing]

So I made pixel animation of my Roblox OC! (He's a karate enjoyer lol)

Even included the original sketch as well

[sand rose]

when i had previously attempted to make a game, i whipped up this lil' dude

heck that's native size uhhh

shoot how do I expand it

[ember hearth]

Sonic Pocket Adventure Wild Woody
(note that NiGHTS was a commission I requested from someone else almost a year ago and I included it in this image for size references since I aimed for Woody to be sized between Sonic and NiGHTS)

[ember hearth]

More practice on the S3K sprite style (still not where I'm "strong" with, an attempt is still an attempt no matter what)

[ember hearth]

Even more S3K sprite practice, including my own Mario

[ember hearth]

Sassy!

[eternal thistle]

https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/234/008/031.jpg

that looks really good!

[ember hearth]

Sonic 3K Samurai Jack (repost since I felt he'd look better with a bit of a taller head)

[ember hearth]

Gotta blast!

[ember hearth]

Felt like making his sleeve more visible

[ember hearth]

Updated my Mario and also made a Luigi too

[celest wing]

Nice sprites here!

[ember hearth]

I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready!

[ember hearth]

👏 D 👏 K
Donkey Kong is here!

[ember hearth]

Could this possibly be the first ever "S3K" Waluigi?

[ember hearth]

S3K Jack Black...? I mean Bowser

[undone thorn]

I love these

The smoothness makes him look kinda young :D

[ember hearth]

Squidward was somewhat tricky enough for me to draw (then again, I can still possibly get anything down)

[celest wing]

More pixelart coming up!

I animated Fox and Slippy in my style today ^^

[ember hearth]

Are you the legendary Sonic with the power level of a ring?

[ember hearth]

Suggestion from someone else (over at another server) I proudly took

[eternal thistle]

noice lookin sprites

[ember hearth]

Despite myself not being so "proud" of the way I designed Ami...
Anything is possible!

[ember hearth]

a boy and his blob

[ember hearth]

This has to be one of the most weirdest sprite ideas I came up with 😂

[ember hearth]

Yeah, that attempt right there was just too funny
Here's how I would had made him had I been a bit more "serious" on the S3K style (at least having him more limited)

[undone thorn]

I love this vibe

[ember hearth]

Of all sprites I handled for today, I'm definitely really proud of the Dedede

[ember hearth]

It bothers me a lot that hands are really hard to draw (other than me not being able to come up with how to properly pose the back arm + hand)

[ember hearth]

todds

[eternal thistle]

looking great

[ember hearth]

What was very funny while I was spriting this Alex Kidd was; ||at first, I made his hair look like a afro||

[ember hearth]

Also, those Toads + Peach are outdated now since I fixed them according to feedback where their heads should be wider and Peach looked too masculine

(I literally had no other idea of what to do about Peach's face, so I left it as is since I liked that "South Park" type of vibe from the face I designed).

[eternal thistle]

i recommend adding two black pixels near her eyes to simulate eyelashes

or you can just leave it as is, idk. looks great regardless

[pearl notch]

I don't do pixel art, i only mess around with it on ms.paint sometimes but there's these two cuties i made

Ok that's it from me byee

[celest wing]

So I made a little mock-up start screen of an international Mysterious Murasame Castle remake/sequel for the SNES, Super Murasame Castle!
(Even have a little 90s retro screenshot for extra immersion)

[celest wing]

Since I made the Super Murasame Castle-animation I couldn't help myself so I did some Takamaru animations!

[celest wing]

New attack animations go brrrrrr

[celest wing]

Got some new Takamaru animations done!

(The fireball subweapon from Murasame Castle, a running animation and an original attack I gave him. I call it the"Rapid Skewer!)

[eternal thistle]

Modified Sonic's sprite from sonic 3 to look closer to his sprites from Sonic 1/CD & Sonic 2

[pearl notch]

Niiice

I've always preferred Sonic's sprite from 1, 2 and CD better than 3 and this is fantastic

[eternal thistle]

thx so much!

[ember hearth]

If Pac-Man 2 used the classic designs

[ember hearth]

Cosmo Gang > Galaga
(I sprited him since I really liked that game a lot after just playing through the entire thing)

[ember hearth]

Two times the charm!

[ember hearth]

Update to one of my earliest S3K NiGHTS sprites + addition of a edit from NiGHTS to Reala

[celest wing]

Sweet man!
Btw, I really dig your work ethic. You get these out really fast!

Just make sure you don't overwork yourself

[celest wing]

I wanted to get into detailed sprites again like I did before, so I sprited the entire playable roster of the original Art of Fighting, which happens to be a pretty obscure but very underappreciated fighting game series!

Enjoy yall! (Sorry for the spritedump, lel)

[eternal thistle]

goofy ah edited Grand Dad sprites

[eternal thistle]

decided of adding more goofy ah sprites to the sheet

[pearl notch]

Grand dad casually breaking his own neck on the 4th collum there

[eternal thistle]

hes just casually looking to his side away from the camera in that collum

[pearl notch]

That is an uncomfortable degree of head turning, probably an impossible amount

But y'know, can't blame him for being built different

[eternal thistle]

bro really is just built different lol

[celest wing]

I'm trying out some different pixelart-styles so I made some Star Fox characters in style with the character portraits in Real Bout Fatal Fury 2

[ember hearth]

Just a random Mario sprite out of boredom after browsing pixel art 🙃

[eternal thistle]

Simcity Mario lookin really something

[celest wing]

Due to some personal issues at the moment I haven't been able to draw as much new art these last few days.
But I did make some new pixelart ^^

Since I take heavy inspiration from Fatal Fury with the recent pixelart I decided to do a little tribute and add Terry, Andy, Joe and Geese-versions to Bill, Kool, Miyu and Shears respectively
(I'll likely make more characters in this style though soon)

[pearl notch]

Crazy good

[celest wing]

Ayee, thanks Snips! ^^

[celest wing]

I did my own OC in the Real Bout artstyle as well! ^^

[gilded glen]

Same sprites, different style
(credit to Jon San for Mario)
(if you can tell the sprite style, you pretty much get the idea)

[gilded glen]

(don't mind the GBA stuff in this image; this project I founded will eventually improve over time)

(and yes, it won't essentially have the small GBA resolution the entire time)

[proud basalt]

I tried to make a thingie. Not really much of a drawer but I like pixel art.
I like the head and tail but the lower body was a bit difficult to do and didn't really end up well.

[eternal thistle]

so i had a cursed thought to draw out other characters using the weird mushroom power up from Mario Maker 1

[celest wing]

Artworks might be a bit slow to come out for a period since I've begun studying in university lol

Just did Falco in the Real Bout-artstyle too, based on his appearance in Star Fox Adventures! ^^

[proud basalt]

I've been trying again with some pixel art and drew a clodsire if he might ever appear in a mystery dungeon game. Kinda like how it turned so far.

These were also made in the progress where he is either upset or just don't know what the other pokemon just said to him

[pearl notch]

Omg i saw the nose as another pair of eyes and can't unsee it 😭

[proud basalt]

yes my brain also did that but I kept it lmao

[pearl notch]

I can now peek a little into Clodsire's mind with that new perspective

[rancid wedge]

Omg the boi

I love him

[celest wing]

Can't go wrong with the man, the myth, the legend Fox McCloud ^^

[eternal thistle]

wanting to do an All Stars 16 bit sprite edit of Super Mario Bros. Special

[gilded glen]

The Sonic Mystery Mushroom should had been based off of Pocket Adventure
(I was never much of a fan on the idea of using a Genesis style sprite especially for a 8-bit style)

[pearl notch]

Truuu

[celest wing]

This is different from what I do but recently I and some friends have been playing Sonic Robo Blast 2, a Sonic racing-fangame built with pixelart. Naturally I did a Bill mod for the game hehe

This isn't the full sprite sheet but I wanted to show off some sprites I was proud of in the mod

[pearl notch]

Ooooo this is dope!

[celest wing]

Thanks Snips ^^

[eternal thistle]

did a sprite sheet for Mario based on stuff from the prototype development info of Super Mario Bros!

[pseudo plaza]

i recently started pixel art so here are my first 3 works, they all look horrendous 👍

[gilded glen]

Seems like I literally forgotten this thread I made a while back even existed!

SPA SEGA character sprites (I worked on them months ago)

[eternal thistle]

edited character sprites done in the sonic 1 style based on the game's original concept art from 1990

[gilded glen]

SMRPG sprite shenanigans

[eternal thistle]

sprite shennanigans to do an unusual looking sonic game on Windows XP

[true ivy]

oh i do pixel art

[gilded glen]

Boing!

Some sprite practice shenanigans...

[pearl notch]

Good stuff

Super Wario Blast...?

[celest wing]

For a while I've been focusing on digitalart but I wanted to also get back in touch with more simple and smaller pixelart again, so I sprited a bunch of random game characters from different series I like. Enjoy ^^

[gilded glen]

A random quick Link's Awakening style Ice Climber
(did this because of a strange fantasy I had of a top-down Ice Climber game for some odd reason)

[celest wing]

I have been making a few new pixel-animations with Bill recently ^^
First, just a 3-hit combo,

And secondly, a kick

[pearl notch]

So clean! 👌

Legit you can make the spritesheet for an entire fighting game with these

[celest wing]

Thanks Snips!
I can actually tell you that I was considering on making a beat 'em up starring Bill (Similar to games like Final Fight for example)

But a fighting game would be fun to explore as well, I mean hey fighting games and beat 'em ups are pretty much sister genres lol

[pearl notch]

Whatever that you'd plan on doing, i wish you success!

[celest wing]

It means a lot hearing that from you
Thank you for believing in me man

[pearl notch]

Any day

[celest wing]

I just made up a new move for Bill today.....

"SHOTGUN UPPAH!!!"

[celest wing]

Another Bill animation! ^^

Just charging up

[celest wing]

He can finally jump and fall now!

I know it does look a bit stiff right now here in this GIF but he can also do an air kecc too!

[celest wing]

I have a new special move for Bill ... It's time for the deadly, the destructive .....

"SHINEE KNUCKLEEE!"

[celest wing]

I had fun with the sketch of Fox in his Assault outfit so I even made a pixel-animation using it as a base as well

[celest wing]

Bill doing a little block and parry-punch here!

Aka, you can say goodbye to all bones in your body pretty much

[tight vortex]

Working on a lil thingy for a contest
