Welcome! ​

Let's get to the introduction:​

Username: Pyrotanis​

Goal: Enjoy making fanart and speculate about the game​

About Feedback: While nice comments are always welcome, don't be afraid to tell me what you don't like about the art or some tips you think I can make use of.​

My own Ideas:​

​

Requests:​

Zoraculus' Slime Guy (forgot the legs, sorry.)​

To clarify, here are the requests you can make:​

​

2.Freeform-Made from scratch, like DeusExel's and Angry Muffin's, just takes longer.​

​

Make it easy on me by saying which you would like!​

​

And more to come!Feel free to request!​

 

Looks awesome, is that a walrus on his chest?!?!

 

Lol yeah, got the idea from from watching Robbaz, from teh sveedish youtubes.

 

Is his head made of fire?

 

Yup. The "deal with it" shades tell you he's too cool to put it out.

 

WHER DID U GET THE TAMPLATE! I mean.... Good art!

 

Quite good! Make more

 

Update #2

Finally got Photoshop transparency to work!

Did some guns as well as the poses for if/when I want to do more.
Top Left: Reference
Top Middle: Two handed gun pose
Top Right: Shotgun pose, with sketch below it before refined shading
Bottom Left: Big-ass Future Magnum pose, along with projectile

Had fun making this, and would like to make more soon
If you guys have any requests, don't hesitate to ask! The best part of making content is hearing the feedback.

(P.S.-Realized the shade of gray I used kinda clashed with forum background, hope it's not too hard to see.)

 

Now that guy is... pretty hot.

 

Now that's one smokin' comment

 

hey can you make a pixel sprite of this please? I beg you!

 

Wow, great! You are getting so much better

 

Looking good!

 

I didn't have time to finish B.O.B. today, but I thought the least I could do is show what I've done so far.
It is pretty difficult to implement the polygonal shapes precisely with only pixels, but I'm enjoying the challenge and hope to finish the limbs and shading as soon as possible! Also, if you'd like another color scheme(trying to use gray shades took an hour and nearly drove me mad),don't hesitate to ask!

 

I use GraphicsGale for my pixel art (at the moment) , but it really sucks because for most pictures except the template, the individual pixels are 4x4 or 6x6 or 3x 3 squares in the program. I need to get photoshop- does it have customizable brush sizes and stuff?

 

Hehe I love it^^ actually BOB is white but red is also okay. Can you make a red and a white version pls?

 

I'll do my best

 

I don't actual use Photoshop to make my pixel art. I make the art in MS Paint, then enlarge the art usually around five times bigger using simple multiplication for the selection containing the art. The only part I use Photoshop for is the transparency, in which I use the Magic Wand tool with contiguous selection and high tolerance.

But to answer your question, Photoshop does have different brush sizes and shapes. The only problem is the amount of complex customization, in my opinion, is not really fit for pixel art, and rather is better for editing photos and drawing paintings with a drawing tablet. If you're comfortable with GraphicsGale(which I am in no way), I would suggest sticking with it and editing the proportions afterward.

 

Looks Great! For My Pixel art I use Paint and Paint.net Can you take a look at my stuff so far?

 

I use paint.net which is basically free photoshop, I pixel as well and paint.net treats me well

Im not sure of the style of starbound quite yet since i'm used to dynamic sprites of cortex command of which depth shading is extremely important to match the style of the game. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it with time.

Your fire is really nice tho,
