So again trying to get back into my pixel art but lacking the inspiration with the lack of ideas. If any of ya guys could give ideas of anything simple or just telling me to stop being lazy that would be helpful. ^_^;

Unfortunitly i dont have eny idea to toss around. Thou i do have one idea, but that wouldnt lend it's self well to pixal art.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 05 Jan 2009 Posts: 4287

Well thats 1 point into not being lazy. lol

But any idea is good, mostly just looking for something easy or simple to start on cause i keep having arguments with me self on what to start with.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 05 Jan 2009 Posts: 4287

Trying on the fish idea but can give others besides animals.

((Hey Xivk,

Um... I didn't even know you did pixel art.

So... inspiration for art... what about something EPIC! I say Pixel Space Marines. That sounds pretty EPIC!

In fact, I did the math. Check it out:

Space = epic.
Marines. = Epic
Pixel = EPIC!
Therefore, by the transient properties of Super-Mondo-Math-Algorithm (AKA SMMA), Pixel Space Marines = EPICLY EPIC EPICNESS!!!!

Um... yeah, I hope that came off funnier than it sounds.

Anyway, I hope that helps you get out of your drawing funk.))

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 05 Jan 2009 Posts: 4287

Believe me caroline, if i was good enough in the art i would do a pixel space marine but i kinda suck atm so thats epicly over me. lol

And yea i did pixel art way back, wasnt very good but was fun. Trying to get back into it now with better details.

*cough*imperial army more epic*cough*

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

Pixel art sounds fun. I wonder if a novice like me could give it a shot.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 05 Jan 2009 Posts: 4287

Could, can give ya the tutorials im trying to follow.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 22 Dec 2008 Posts: 2173

((Hey Xivk,

I play the guard too ^_^ Being human, I'm kinda partial to us... and Space Marines are, technically, mutants. I have about... 5 or 6 pictures of my painted Imperial Guard up on my FA site. My guard is the Wallace Port 13th Light Cavalry... the "Vogelsheuke".

Anyway, back on track. Okay, so pixel art isn't your thing. What is? Photos? Watercolor? Macrome? Charcoal? Glue-and-Macaroni? "Drawing" is a very open term. Add in all the new fangled, electronic ways to draw, and... it's downright almost completely weird.

So... no animals, and no space marines. What about hot-hot-hot girls in bikinis? Or... some beefcake shots of your avatar or something? Those are always big sellers... albiet usually to two different audiences.))

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 05 Jan 2009 Posts: 4287

Im mostly for imperial guard cause of the artillery, looooove artillery. @_@

And pixel art is me thing, just said it wrong up there. But im mostly asking atm for simple suggestions cause im trying to follow tuts on details, shading, etc. till i could try something harder and not lose interest. (So i sadly cant do the bikini babes or beefcakes lol)

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 05 Jan 2009 Posts: 4287

And... heres random gold fish.

No shading yet but tried adding more detail to it, what ya all think?

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

Da, dat's a fish.

-Rummages through his brain for ideas-

Oookay, let's see........how 'bout a bird?

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

Sounds fun. I wanted to try so I can make pixel art for when I do the FFTA3 sprites if I can improve enough to try.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 05 Jan 2009 Posts: 4287

If i try bird wolf any idea what kind of pose or color i should do? Might throw in a random object too finally to the background.

And whats FFTA rune?

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

Hmmm.....

Fer pose, sideways seems easy. And for colors, why not Blue?

As for the FFTA question, it means Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.
