My main pc totally died so I tried to stream on an old laptop to do some practice and hang out with friends.. It was my first ever art stream and it was pretty successful even though I get nervous about how I do
Each of these had a lot of different amount of time spent depending on the request
Electricity practice
I will continue separating the progress with new frames
Its a great way to document the process and pinpoint any mistakes
i've been working on a mod but i did try to doodle some yesterday it was just very late at night..
but peep the secret
Chipped away at some animation practice this week!
I gotta understand each segment to its fullest so i can piece them together better.
I also want to get better at smooth animation & adapt to whatever frame rate im at
Time Spent: 1 hour 30 minutes (specifically the second character)
For this one I tried to give Dedede a more solid pose and defined some lines but also pace myself in a way where I'm not trying too hard on just one part of the piece
This one was tough because trying to translate squid hair to pixel art is a bit strange
Fixing up the lines before felt nice but trying to get nice 'chaos' colors to work is also hard so if the next time i share this one it's probably gonna have a new palette LMAO
I also needed to stop at this point because I was starting to take up too much time working at this stage
But I still feel pretty good about it
Time spent: 2 hours 38 minutes
So, with the 14 day challenge finished, planning to put the pixel skills to use in creating a very small game to stretch those pixel muscles. First step to that end will be the creation of some simple placeholder assets to be refined later.
Didn't have much time today, but I wanted to throw together a simple palette for some of the basic tiles that'll show up in the first area (some bright, peaceful ruins) to set the tone.
Colors correspond roughly to the grass, stones, water, and dirt. Over the next couple days, I'll throw together some tilesets and scenery props--perhaps a simple main character sprite.
Time: 20 minutes
These doodles are fun bc i get to practice the story telling aspect of animation :D
Ill focus on story sequences in future doodles
Ima practice sketching animation scenes so I can polish em later
