Oh, sweet shading (:
I like how it's sort of checkered, that's neat.

that's called dithering

My first actual sprite.

Shading is a bit off on some parts but other than that it's awesome.

mockup i made quickly in order to make it look like i have experience making top-down rpgs

this mockup has already gotten me a job

My first actual sprite.

plsbegentle

theres not a big enough difference between individual colors

it all blends together too much, basically

its readable though fundamentally and theres no glaring errors

[ZombiLoin]

just want to say that bushido is pretty loving awesome.

[Niff]

does anyone have tips for getting back into pixel art?

[Conan]

this mockup has already gotten me a job

with that quality of animation i'm not surprised at all.

loving A man, where are you working at?

gosh bushido even manages to put awesomeness into your generic top-down games, aaaa i feel so minor

[.:FancyPants:.]

top-down games

speaking of this, i'd like to ask if anyone has heard "3/4 top-down" as an actual term;

a platformer is a camera at the same angle as the ground,
a top-down is usually looking straight down at the ground,
but i've been looking for something that describes when the camera's angle is between a platformer and a top-down, and a friend of mine said that a 3/4 top-down is usually that, but googling it results in very few results, so i'm not if there's a better word for it.

examples:
     

[Jairo]

it's like if isometric was turned 45 degrees

i dunno

i think most people just call it "top-down" or "overhead"
3/4 top-down makes sense though because of three-quarters view portraits

[Flamecannon]

i call it top-down still but when i'm referring its specific angle i'd normally use words like 45 degree camera angle action

yes all the time

i refer to it as the zelda angle sometimes. its too prominent to go nameless

also platformers are usually just called sidescrollers

I believe the proper term is sidescroller. It could be a 3D platformer (ex. Super Mario 64, Sonic Adventure 2)
