Pixel art gallery

[deem]

Here is some of the pixel art I've made for my game several years ago. I no longer work on that game but there are a few sprites that I like and would like to share.

[Catacombs]

The details are outstanding. What did you use to make these?

 

[deem]

I made it in PyxelEdit and Gimp.

 

[Catacombs]

Do you have an art background?

 

[deem]

Not really. I'm pretty much self-taught. Here are some walls.

[Nathaniel3W]

deem did you add the noise yourself, pixel by pixel? Or did you make blocks of color and then add some kind of overlay?

 

[Zanzoken]

Nice work. Your style feels dark and gloomy to me, reminiscent of Dark Souls.

 

[Hag]

That's really good work. Would be curious to see a screenshot of the game with all the different parts coming together.

Here is the only pixel art I have ever done (free to use) :

Can you describe your process for making these?

 

[Surf Solar]

These look amazing. I would love to play a game in that style of yours!

 

[The_Sloth_Sleeps]

You are a very sick man.

 

[Quilty]

That's gorgeous!

 

[deem]

Thank you for the kind words. I booted the game and took a bunch of screen shots. Currently I'm working on a different game and my style progressed somewhat but still lots of work to do.

That game looks fucking cool. What was it, some kind of roguelike or something?

And what is the different game you're working on now?

Consider posting your development progress here. Not only is the RPGcodex an extremely discerning audience that can help you finetune some things, but it never hurts to build a fanbase early.

That being said, the codex is the codex, so be aware of some things.

I love the style, the detail, the lighting, it's great. I would suggest only one thing: the player character seems to blend in with the background a bit, maybe making his colors slightly lighter would prevent that.

Very nice tiles

screenshots are cool, too, tiles translate nicely into the game

 

[Zed]

Very cool dude. Good job!

 

[hello friend]

Some real sexy screenshots there

 

[Tavernking]

Put it on Opengameart! Great community there that would be grateful

 

[Falksi]

Excellent work.

You don't fancy making Serpent in the Staglands 2 do you?

After Mechjammer I'm not hopefully for the sequel.

Serpent in the Staglands

Was the first game that came to mind for me too.

 

[hello friend]

same

 

[deem]

Serpent is far more sophisticated of a game than what I've cooked up. It was a learning experience for me, a first attempt at making a relatively large game. I've managed to get all the seemingly banal things to work such as inventory, saving and loading, rudimentary turn-based combat, enemy A"I". With the the project I'm currently working on I hope to take what I've learned and make something presentable.

That gloomy "monochrome" style of using colors reminds me of 8-bit isometric games for some reason.
