Once you’ve become familiar with the basic anatomy of the head and body, try putting your figures into some expressive poses.
Go to article
The head and face contain a complex set of expressive features. However, just like the body, the proportions and spacing can be established with simple spacial divisions.

Thought I’d try a 6 head model to create slightly small figures, but otherwise in proper proportions. Hope it helps!

Thought I'd share another tease of the story sequence as I inch along with it. Still busy with the Mega Brain level and also working on tutorial content this week, so not a whole lot of new assets to show. Really, most of the graphic content is finished at this point. The final boss, story conten...

Static version of Pixelmotion 17.
This could fit right in with the designs of the Royal Space Force in Thyrian Defenders.

Hey everybody! Got a loaded schedule for you this month. In addition to the usual contents, Pixel minis will make its return. Thanks for voting on the theme, we had a good turn out. It appears the modern themed characters won the poll, which should be a fun fresh subject for me. The rough concept...
2019-05-03 15:37:43 +0000 UTC View PostNow that pixel minis are back, we need to decide a theme for the next series. As a refresh, pixel minis are simply small scale static pieces. I try to keep it to a 64x64 canvas but will make exceptions. These give me a chance to focus on sprite work, or create minimalistic scenes.
I decided I ...

Heya! Got some boss action for you this week. This is the Hyper Queen, which resides in Hyperspace, feeding off the countless space wrecks drifting about. We are able to iterate and use the same concept for all 3 Hyperspace levels. First encounter is medium sized, second encounter gets longer and...

As you may know, I like to use contrast both visually and conceptually. Furthermore, I often find myself immersed in worlds that combine rustic fantasy with cut...
Local Skyway
I kept the animation concepts fairly simple but still tedious to string everything together. There are about 90 frames just for the character movement. Still had lots of fun making it. Funny how cinematic pixels can feel. I would love to expand on some of these ideas and strin...
Making good progress on the final level, Mega Brain. On the outside this planet sized fortress is constructed of impenetrable armor covered in razor sharp spikes, as shown in last week's update. But inside y...

Featured artwork from Pixelcast 32. I've been making surreal spacey scenes lately, so I felt a strong urge to get back to a more natural green landscape, with some fantasy mixed in of course.

Exciting news! You're looking at the first actual pixel WIP of the final level. It's going to have to be a whopper to top the previous 9 epic worlds. I won't spoil much now, but expect lots of spikes, and brains!

Hey everybody! It's officially Spring around here and I'm excited to start to see life return to the landscape. More than any other art or human endeavor, nature is really what gets my creative juices flowing. By the end of winter the bleak landscape provides little inspiration, but it's worth en...
