honestly just try to copy what you see in sprite art that you like, try hard and practice consistently, post not on /ic/ but on other boards (like in these threads if appropriate) to have people tell you your art is shit and use that to fuel a desire to not be shit
you'll get gud if you do it right, if you can't you can't

I disagree that is horrible. Not everyone translated perfectly, but some got a much needed redraw (King, Benimaru, Kensou, Chin.) What I liked the most about XIIIs style is that characters finally had much more distinctive sizes and silhouettes. In the old versions, as beautiful as they are, the body sizes of most men were interchangeable. IN XVIII you understand the difference in power and fighting style between Beni and Clark.

XIV would be acceptable if the models were ok. Even with all the patches, the new Kyo is a disgrace, just point one out.

Maybe awkward isn't the right word but the arm movement looks unnatural and weird. And rotoscoping is bad because it's low-effort compared to hand-drawn stuff, and it almost always looks like shit. Yes I'm saying that your gif looks like shit.

>>383034837
The best pixel art comes from an education/understanding of traditional art, so yes to your question. This article is a good read on the subject.

And they're the ones who will apparently be doing most of the actual making, so don't act entitled.

>Any tips?
Start smaller than you think, no bigger than 32x32, and restrict your palette. Err on the side of more contrast with your palette, don't pillow shade, and always seek input. The pixeljoint tutorial that got posted is a great start

For programs I recommend Aseprite, but that costs money so you'll probably want to start with Graphics Gale, just in case you drop this because you're convinced being an idea guy is actually an important role

Hm, my philosophy is that run cycles don't need as much squash and stretch as other animations and attacks because thye're getting repeated constantly and it can often be distracting

>>383045245
I'm not good at explaining this kind of thing but I'm a firm believer that squash and stretch isn't necessary for good animation, so it's not that. It might also be the timing of the run being off.

This idle looks decent but the highlights in the glasses seem to grow in size while moving and it's a bit distracting. Sorry for constantly shitting on your art by the way.

>>383046246
Don't worry about shitting on it, I appreciate honesty. The highlight growing is my way of showing that it's reflective surface, maybe I've overdone it some. As for the run I have an extra midair frame in game, and I'm actually pretty happy with how it looks in game so maybe that helped a lot. I used Eadweard Muybridge images as a reference so I'm sort of confident in their accuracy

this is what they get for making a shitty phone game instead of a console or PC game. most console and PC gamers grew up with pixel art and have no problem with it and there are tons of successful games on steam that use it. of course phone plebs will be confused, they're all kids or women who have never touched a game besides angry birds.

>>383043710
Use references from similar games to what you're desigining and ask yourself questions like 'why did they choose these colors' and 'how does the shading move in this animation', but don't limit yourself to 1-2 games. Stock images for objects or settings can also bring inspiration.

bruh now a days its just a shitty cop out for people who don't want to put in the effort of adding more detail so they do something thats easier but more time consuming
I'm not saying bands of color pillowshading or whatever is better, its even more shit when used the same way, but how people use dithering what makes it shit
instead of drawing blades of grass or cracks on concrete artist just fill space with what is essentially the equivalent of a boring ass gradient but for pixel art instead of other digital art

>>383064457
it's like a painting except it also activates your nostalgia for old videogames. that's why you like it. paintings and drawings are better than photographs because they represent idealized versions of things. they also limit their palette to create more harmonious blends of color than what is actually found in reality. the composition of the picture can also be played with more than in a real photograph. it's good, in short, because of the control the artist can exercise over the various elements. real buildings aren't purely aesthetic art pieces so they can't afford this level of control to an artist usually. and even if they could there's still that issue of color and composition.

>>383063825

this must be it (nostalgia aside since its pretty obvious). Since all you said is absolutely correct, I must insist that even painted (well constrcuted) paintings would still lose out to the pixel art. SO yes its probably the palette, nostalgia and constellation

It's very cute and actual pixel skill is notable, but actual ANIMATION skill is lacking.

Going by the style you're using, I'd say making the character go higher on his bouncing, and making his legs move more exaggerately would greatly improve your sprite.

It kinda bugs me that a lot of people dismiss ESA as "shitty looking" when it's outright impressive how much background detail it gets in with its low-res sprites. It's fucking great. Makes for a good sense of scale when big enemies show up, too.
I feel like a lot of people brush off really nice looking games like Kero Blaster or ESA or VVVVVV just because they see Metal Slug as the end-all-be-all of good pixel art (not that MS is bad, or anything) when Metal Slug is just a really good example of what you can pull off with higher-res pixel art, like Owlboy Though Owboy is a shit fucking game and use that to judge the art of every pixel art game when most of them art definitely not going for something like that.

It gives you infinite flight, which sounds cool until you realize that the game never takes advantages of it with good bosses and fun, frantic flight sections, instead opting for basically "Zelda dungeons but less fun".
The main charcater can't deal damage, he can only stun enemies and reflect projectiles. Only the people he's carrying have actual guns. This sounds interesting until you realize that there's no penalty for carrying people and you have an item that literally teleports them into your hands, so it's exactly the same as having weapons to swap between with your mousewheel or whatever. This could be almost okay if the game went for twinstick shooter styled design. Once again, it instead opts for mediocre Zelda-like dungeons, including dumb forced "if you get seen you go back to the start and lose health" stealth sections. It does that at least twice.
The story is a fucking mess and I can't sum up why it's so terrible in a single post, so I'm not going to try. The best way I could sum it up is "Baation's story but exponentially more terrible and also you're locked into the bad ending along with killing Zulf but instead of Zulf it's yourself".

>>383076314
ESA just looks like programmer art and the fact that most of the early game enemies are direct rips of metroid sprites, just downscaled until they look terrible makes a horrible first impression.

Kero Blaster looks great, don't lump it in with ESA.

VVVVVV looks like shit, but it's clearly intentional to make it more like a classic euro microcomputer game so its not really a big deal.

>>383078641
>I'm annoyed whenever anyone just straight up copies Zelda's game design

A lot of games do copy the way Zelda does bosses though, with you needing to use a certain item or ability three times or so to take down a boss and it having a really obvious and easy pattern. I love Zelda, but I fucking hate that shit so much.

ESA looks fucking great, as does VVVVVV. They just use unconventional artstyles, with VVVVVV going for C64 and ESA going for an incredibly low-res look. (I think the developer stated in an interview that he wanted every single-tile object to be 8x8, i.e. the player, blocks, etc)

I want Sasquatch to fight Saberwulf. Is that too much to ask Crapcom?

>>383083915
>Why? Because it's incredibly low res?
No, because it's incredibly low effort. Animations tend to be no more than 2 or 3 frames max and detail is kept to a minimum because the artist wasn't capable of anything more. It's not the ugliest game ever but its visuals pale in comparison to almost any other Metroid style game. Only metroid-style game I can think of that looks worse is Rabi Ribi.

VVVVVV looks like shit because the C64 games it's emulating mostly look like shit. It is very accurately imitating an ugly-ass art style that has no detail, no character, and no animation. Just because that's the style it's going for doesn't mean that it's good, it just means they accomplished what they set out to do, make a shitty looking game. (I do love VVVVVV though)

>animations tend to be no.more than 2 or three frames minimum
>C64 games mostly looks like shit (...) no detail, no animation
Anon, see, you're doing exactly what I talked about in my first post. You can't compare these games to things like Metal Slug or KoF or whatever with the absurdly smooth animation because first off, they aren't going for that incredibly high-detail, buttery smooth look, and second, you really don't NEED that sort of look. You said in >>383081954 that I couldn't compare Kero Blaster to ESA or VVVVVV. Why not? According to your complaints about VVVVVV and ESA, Kero Blaster should look like shit, too. Most animations in Kero Blaster are fairly simple and Kero Blaster opts for a very low detail, simplistic art style that I would say is somewhat similar to games from the C64 sort of "old-ass computers" line. (Though Kero Blaster would be better compared to Amiga or PC98 games than C64). You're calling these games's artstyles shit because you're applying this sort of preconcieved notion that anything that lacks detail or has fairly simple animations looks like shit, yet for whatever reason you seem to ignore these complaints when it comes to KB.
