Pixel Art

[Bushido]

well it's supposed to be high-contrast

so it's easy to tell what's going on n stuff

... and besides, i've got full control of the art. he didn't request anything but 'spikes levels and a protagonist'

[Lalam24]

those are razors dude

anyway, looks really good man, keep it up.  same with your stuff, loserhero.

[Bushido]

normal spikes are for nerds

i got hired saturday to do some pixel art for a flash game



thus this is technically my first professional work

pageloss, more or less

Something about the color of the character seems odd to me.

[Flamecannon]

pageloss, more or less

nooo this was something i yelled purple at for now its all the wronged

[Bushido]

he's orange

the rest of the world is blue

it's so you can see him better

is it jarring or something you guys are just giving me vague 'this is weird' statements

nooo this was something i yelled purple at for now its all the wronged

what're you on about

oh you're talking about the pageloss thing

well yeah it's decent to go back a page but there are lots of people who don't do that (up to and including myself) so allow me to cater to them you ass
its not like i'm posting the same thing 4 pages in a row or anything

[Menen]

lovey as forget Bushidor how are you so good

[Flamecannon]

so allow me to cater to them you ass

calm

i really just meant to impose on myself and not you

Do you outline things to make them more visible or is it just a style?
it seems to make sense.

[Bushido]

the black outlines are just part of my style. its sort of designed to look like old school cartoons, how the background looks a little less interesting then the characters, and how things that are integral to the game are easy to spot because of it

the white outlines are because i have no sense of self control

the light circles in the background are probably there for similar reasons

[Rusty]

I really like the whole thing, the attention to detail is lovely, the character also fits nicely.

[*FacePalm*]

the only thing about the character is
what is it
it looks like
a bear cat mole thing

[Bushido]

he is a bearcat

more accurately he is the first enemy you meet in cave story (i think it's called 'critter' in the staff roll which doesn't help stuff at all) cross the animal ability hat from kirby cross a vague memory of some sort of similarly-shaped orange creature thing that i have floating around but whose origins remain a mystery

his name is, also, bearcat.

because he is a bear who is a cat.

[Flamecannon]

the ass would like to ask where this game would eventually be released at
assuming newgrounds or maybe a greenlight game perhaps?

[Bushido]

i don't know yet

the gifs i've been displaying are just demos i've made by taping the appropriate sprites to my one of many platformer engines so i don't even know if this is how the game will play
