Ok although I can't to much of Art these days I still can sprite. And that's what I do most at the moment, or doing little head-shots in Gimp.. the only program currently not crashing my laptop.. Hope it will stay that way.

You might do Suggestions for Pixels, but no Requests!
Means you can show me stuff you think would be nice to see pixeled.
Suggestion also means you have no right to make me do what you want. It kills my inspiration and I won't get stuff done for weeks.
All Sprites here are only to be used with my own Permission! Means: Don't use them if I didn't told you you where allowed to do so!

Reserving another post, just in case I might need it

Thx

Finished the dragon-fish lines and started adding scales:

It#s nither of them, but goot to know.. Will upload them to Photobucket as soon as possible

Updated the images, also did add finished Dragon-fish + older works.. now working on Puvia for K4Swap

*gets pitchfork out* mine... Mine.. MINE!


No, seriously. I think I could do some recolors of them... Write me a PM about it if this would interest you ^^
I don't want this thread moved, because I take requests in here (I think it's nice where it is, as I think it fits here, best. It would get lost in the other topics)

I´m not sure if what I will mention now is something you do on purpose so please ignore me if that is the case.
The shading on your sprites is kind of rough and busy looking in most cases. You have quite a low number of colours while your sprites are extremely large which leads to that look, as well as the dithering you use to smoothen out the transitions. If that rough look is not something you intended perhaps try working on a smaller scale or using more colours (also upping the contrast) to smoothen the shading somewhat and give the sprites more depth.
Also I would be careful not to rely on lines too much. For example the back leg of the dragon fish has a line in it to define the muscle...why not use shading to shape the muscle instead?
