Why is pixel art so fucking hard.
worse part of all is that nobody appreciates the effort.

It depends on the method your using. The hardest is making a sprite from scratch pixel by pixel like a game of picross, which somehow people think that was the only way to make sprites. Where as you could of taped your original drawing and traced it in a drawing program. Or use a scanner or even a drawing tablet. With these other techniques it's less like picross with paint but more like traditional drawing or animation.
And that shit is hard.
Aaron Clark
You're doing it wrong that is why. You draw everything out on paper first and then just use an image editor. Or if you prefer you can draw on a grid and then program it in using math. Hell, you can use the Doom method which captured the clay and metal+ leather models for every position you needed on a camera then edited them to what we have today. They even captured destroying the models with this method.
Christian Hill
*Another method you can use today, would be to use 3D models to position what you want then use an image editor to convert them into sprites. An alternative to the Doom model.
John Rogers
I just use some software that downscales everything and makes it look like pixel art.
Cooper Peterson
Because people tend to start with the pixel-based sprite as a base rather than drawing the original character art and deforming it to fit the sprite limitations while still looking cool enough to fit in the game.
Joseph Phillips
I appreciate the result, not the effort, so I don't really give a shit about how much time you put into a piece of art if the result still looks horrible. Like the example in the OP.
Parker Reyes
We do appreciate it. Also, you do know that AGDG exists, right OP?
Anthony Clark
BECAUSE YOU AREN'T DRAWING OUT YOUR ANIMATION FRAMES BEFORE REDRAWING THEM AS SPRITE YOU FUCKING IDIOT.
AND DON'T SAY YOU ARE BECAUSE I CAN FUCKING TELL YOU AREN'T

Stop drawing pixel art. Clearly you are incapable of being serious about vectorizing your art and working in the limitations of lower resolution.
Jonathan Martinez
SNK fighters were done by paper then traced in computer.
Evan Collins
Alright, this looks kind of bad.
Take the Toby Fox route and just use different .png images for every limb, that way it'll come out way smoother in half the effort.
Bet you didn't know that did ya?
Hudson Peterson
I'm just learning.
Henry Wilson
Learning won't make you successful. This is really depressing advice because it is true, unless you only want to impress yourself.
Henry Myers
A good base is there, assuming you aren't tracing.
Gavin Evans
I want to improve.
Dominic Baker
It's a factor though.
Jacob Davis
I only saw the athena sprite as inspiration.
Not tracing.
Nathaniel Long
Go back to studying your anatomy, and fixing your perspective. You have the right idea, but you need to continue practising your work if you're hungry for improvement.
Colton Cox
Just because you a lot of work into something doesn't make it less shit, that applies to everything in life. You can spend hours preparing a meal and it still means nothing if it tastes like horse ass.

Cooper Young
I like it, Rayman Legends did it well.
Matthew Ramirez
If you can see the pixels in a sprite it's always awful.
Henry Peterson
excuse you
Elijah Young
The method you mentioned only really works for larger sprites, like fighting game characters, and you'll spend ages doing detail work to clean up individual pixels anyway. I've been doing pixel art for about 5+ years now and I've never done it like that, I don't use a tablet either despite owning one. You really don't need it when working at small resolutions.
Trying to condense a large drawing into a small sprite will cause details to get lost too, so I find it easier to draw a sprite from scratch. It makes you focus on the necessary things.
Gabriel Rogers
Like actually making your game instead of endless mockups?
Parker Parker
I'm waiting on my coder to deliver something.
You're not wrong though.
Jeremiah Martin
Isn't that the basic function of Spriter? And Ubisoft & Capcom did it long before Undertale.
It is also a tremendous pain in the ass. It's quick though, I'll give it that.
People do appreciate the effort, if it's good spritework.
Anyway, time for a cool story.
I can't do sprites. I can do levels. I can do sprite editing, but bare sprites are a pain my ass and my hands are full with the animation.
It took us two weeks to create one, ONE guy.
And then I had to do double work because hurr durr, we needed to change the direction.
I still have my "shit it out in 5 minutes" sketches somewhere on this computer. We never got to the mock up phase with the new characters because of "Time constrants". Fuck that. We were literally working out of a cardboard box powered by delusion and hot pockets.
The writer bitched and moaned about creating new dialogue for 3 characters. I bitched and moaned because I have to sketch, design, confirm and color them before giving them to the dude who was going to acutally put them in the project.
William Evans
As others have said, pixel art is taking real art, down scaling it and cleaning it up.
Hand placing every pixel like a lite-brite is retarded.
Asher Ward
Post the source code.

SPRITE WORK IS NOT HARD
YOU YOUNG PEOPLE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW EASY IT IS DESERVE DEATH
Isaac Cooper

Luis Williams
The sprite is supposed to resemble an actual drawing as close as possible, what you are doing is the complete opposite making the drawing resemble the sprite. That may sound counter intuitive but a good example of what I mean is Yoshi. As you can clearly see the actual Super Mario World sprite looks different from his official artwork.
Elijah Cox
Reminded me of this, though admittedly it more about 2D games in general than games that specifically have pixel art.
Would have been better to use an image without Mario's fat ass partially obscuring Yoshi's sprite. Just saying.
Joshua Lopez
Polygons were a mistake
Juan Walker
It's not hard. You're just not good at it, I'm not even trying to be mean I'm just being honest. It's like any other art: It takes time. My pixel-art used to be shit still is tbh but that only changed because I got better. Meaning it got easier. Art gets easier the better you are.
Eventually you'll look back on your past art and say: "WOW I fucking sucked" And you'll be able to create that "hard" work easily.
You know what people also don't appreciate? Almost everything else. No one cares about the work, and effort, it takes to someone to create.
Alexander James
This. Stripping away the unnecessary is always hard, no matter whether you're doing it in graphics, music, programming, mathematics or what have you. Just look at the turd I uploaded right here.
He's talking about visible pixels in rotated sprites, mate. Undertale is actually a great example of a game where sprite rotation horribly clashes with everything else.
Josiah Collins
it's nowhere near as hard as 3d modelling and making a real game

Thanks for those pdfs, those are some great resources. Maybe one day I too can make a good pixel thing or something.
Daniel Reyes
Been working away at some art assets for a grocery store sim. You probably haven't seen it unless you frequent /agdg/.
Anyways, I used SS13 body as a base and made my own shit from it. Does it look serviceable?
Colton Nguyen
Here's something to avoid like the indies nowadays.
Mason Allen
You mean nobody appreciates the "effort" that went into making shitty 8x8 resolution characters that are going to get blown up to 1080p while the developer uses "muh artstyle" as an excuse to his incompetence.
Owlboy was a recently released game that has gorgeous pixel art and was acclaimed for it.
Hudson Young
Its really not that hard.
Colton Hall

I don't really have a lot of the mechanics fleshed out yet. I'm thinking of it like RCT, but in a different setting. Definitely singleplayer management, though.

Juan Gray

Jacob Bell
people appreciate the effort when it looks GOOD. yours looks like shit.
its not that hard to make good pixel art.
Asher Walker
maybe if you just git gud you won't be such a whiny faggot
Kayden Long
Nah, if you want it to be serious make it serious
Lincoln Robinson
how do i get good
Jaxson King
There's not really anything terribly wrong with the right sprite. I'd argue the left one looks a bit weirder because the dithering implies the texture isn't smooth. The outline and leaves make it look more interesting though.
The problem with most indies nowadays isn't that they don't use dithering or outlines (an example being Cave Story, which looks great). It's that their color palettes suck, their sprites don't have obvious shapes and their animations are generally uninspired.
Cave Story got all of those right, yet I often see people blame it for starting the indie pixel art trend. But I think if it wasn't for Cave Story, it'd be something else that people imitate lazily.
Copy something you like until you get proficient at it, then deviate from it and try new things. I got started making shitty sprites that were essentially traces of Link's Awakening. I still don't consider myself very good but people have paid me for my art before, so there's that.
All it takes is several years of pursued interest, it's not as hard as people think.
Ethan Jenkins
Keep doing it. 10,000 hour rule
Daniel Diaz
Did you make that sprite? No offense, but it doesn't look very good either.

Adrian Baker
Well hopefully I can get some gameplay going in a month or two. I'll post here for feedback of course. We'll see what works.
Julian Rogers
Yeah, I did. But its from like, 2 years ago, and I traced it over an image.
Liam Cook
No excuses :^)
Landon Brooks
Why didnt you just draw out the animations in a flash program Photoshop it then bring the individual images as layers and trace the over w/ a 1px brush?
Probably would use GIMP for that
Dominic Taylor
pixel art is hard because:
art is hard
animating is hard
doing both in a compressed format with color restrictions is fucking hard.
Benjamin Reed
Anyone have any advice or tips on animating?
I'm struggling to keep on model.
By never giving up.
Blake Adams
Plan your motions in advance by drawing keyframes first. If you can keep on model for those it'll probably be easier to keep on model when you draw the inbetweens.
Leo Harris
depending on which software you use, you can put the base drawing or a concept sheet on the background layer and animate on top of that
Easton Bailey
You need a slash line effect when he swings his sword and ends the swing. Take a look at sprite sheets if you're stuck
Christian Watson
isn't KOFXIII touched-up renders?
Eli King
Wait I thought that was Donkey Kong Country seires
Kayden Stewart
Yes, they're rotoscoped 3D models. Still, the end result is nothing to scoff at and neither was the amount of work and resources it costed them. The KoFXIII roster was so small and limited in their move sets simply because SNK didn't have the funds to add in anything more.
James Mitchell
My bad. the process is way more involved than a "touch-up". They just pose a very basic model and then do the rest by hand. Very impressive.
Landon Adams
And ironically enough, it's one of the more cost/time effective ways of creating high quality sprites. This is why developers, even in traditionally sprite based franchises, have been switching to 3D models over the years. It's often just not feasible anymore to do anything else.
Benjamin Rogers
I think I can do a better job then Toby Fox did
Carson Morris
because if your pixel art is too simplistic then it gets thrown into the indieshit bitch pile, if it's passable then people will generally ignore the effort. And if your pixel art is exceptionally good then people will say it looks nice and leave it at that, despite the fact you had to labor for years to make it look that good whereas 3d graphics can always look impressive despite the relatively small amount of effort. Bottom line, your effort will never be appreciated unless you make some godly piece of art but if you're doing it by yourself then you'll waste your entire life away on one project. No one realizes that making an animation means doing it frame by frame, which is time consuming as fuck.
i'm actually kind of surprised the thread didn't turn into
pic related, the pinnacle of my pixel art.
Isaac Sullivan
*Right, forgot to put Yoshi without Mario.
Hunter Smith
That's believable. The pixel art was easily Undertale's weakest aspect. It was the one thing Toby Fox was really inexperienced at and got a tonne of help with.
David Roberts
So this is where the inspiration for the latest Street Fighter comes from.
Ethan Howard
finally
Logan Rodriguez
it's more like embed related where the 3d is used as a base to keep animators on model than something purely rotoscoped from 3d like dkc. arcsys uses a similar technique for blazblue & the persona arena games
Dylan Smith
No, SF has had that artstyle since the Alpha days. The transition to 3D didn't do it much good.

Cameron Ortiz
Here's chapters 4 & 5. Chapter 6 is out too but I haven't been able to find any links
Cameron Martin
is there any corner cutting technique for non-artists to just churn out barely acceptable pixel art and then make up for it with sypro tier color co-ordination or something?
"if you want a 4x3px bee as a background object, first you need to be able to draw THIS!" is the bane of my existence. proper drawing and construction is nightmare tier.
Anthony Davis
3d is probably the closest you can come to corner-cutting without making something that just looks like lazy shit.
Aaron Ross
Even if you don't want to learn proper anatomy and whatnot, you'll still need to make your designs appealing, readable, and all that. It's no wonder there is a whole chapter dedodated to this in these pdfs :>>12231726
You could also look into cartoon drawing books. Even without knowing jackshit about muscles, you can still draw a stick figure that can convey the appropriate emotions.
Michael Gonzalez
for animation related learning material, look at: "the 12 principles of animation"
Jacob Russell
A lot of failed artists use pixel art as a crutch. They try to use the lower resolution to hide the fact that they can't draw for shit.
It makes the actual good pixel artists look bad.
Lucas Williams
And this is why none of your crap art will ever look good. It always pays to have solid foundation art skill and from there you can stylise and make some appealing. The most beautiful art is a interpretation of nature no CalArts bullshit. While it comes time to reinvent your style for a new project, you can back to your basics. Goes for comic art, game art and animations, everything.
You don't need to be able to perfectly paint your pic related and you know it. This is just an excuse for
10'000 hours, fucker. Get started.
Noah Bell
You can compensate for lack of anatomical knowledge if you can animate and convey motion really well. But for that you'll need to study a ton of great animation.
Also, if you want to make game, then try to make it at the artistic skill level you're at right now. "When I'm better" will never produce a game, starting now might.
Levi Morales
Did you know that retards in special schools form hierarchies and are elitist to each other based upon the severity of their disabilities? I find it fascinating that even people who have nothing going for them still try to find ways to hold something over others.

Jonathan Williams

Dominic Gray
It's hard because drawing is hard and art is hard. You're not good at drawing, so you won't be good at pixel art either. Draw more people, improve your general drawing skills. Pixel art isn't a crutch that will make your art good.
Mason Kelly

Self-improvement is a stupid meme. Yes your art will change over time but if you don't have natural talent, you might as well kill yourself. There's a reason you have all these people who have never taken a lesson in their life and are great at drawing.
Jonathan Evans
There are a shit ton of more creative things you can do other than just drawing. I'm a Motion Graphics Designer and I can't draw that well at all.
Carter Price
well a lot of skills translate over to other skills.
one may not have 10,000 hours in drawing, but they may have 10,000 hours at a mix of translatable hand-eye coordination skills; which gives them said "talent" (which is in-fact not "talent", but time spent on skills that translate to drawing).
Still, one has to learn the fundamentals to realize the proper way of utilizing said skill; or else it's just raw skill that hasn't been properly refined.

Nolan Reyes
He's true, though. Most skills are 'talent' at the base, it's how neural connections in your head are managed. You just may lack the capacity to even IMAGINE things in a way needed to draw.
Hell, I know a person who claims that he lacks imagination at all, i.e. he just takes in the information he hears and understands it, but there is no 'picture' in the head, which is absolutely baffling to me.
Brody Wilson
HOW THE FUCK DO I PIXELATE ANIME TIDDIES
Nathan Johnson
If you're looking for approval on an anonymous image board you really have to be mentally disabled.
You get better by doing slow and deliberate exercises. Charles Bargue Drawing Course is the kind of thing you should do first to train your draftmansship, observational skills and learn how to to use division and hierarchy to deal with complex tasks. Continue with stuff like Villppu, Loomis, Proko, Bridgman and so on once you are decent at copying. You mainly get better at drawing from imagination by copying from real life or reference with the constructive methods, described by the literature I mentioned in the previous sentence, not by actually drawing figures from scratch.
Kevin Gomez

Fucking niggers! You just need a teacher!
Just find someone who will teach you how to draw.
I could do it, but then we would have to stop being anonymous and we would have to set up shitty google talk and you need to find a way for me to see your drawings, it would be a pain online. Find someone local who is an illustrator or pirate classes (best course of action). The point of the teacher and the payment is that both of those will keep you in the routine of practicing which you can't do now because you're procrastinating faggots.
