[WIP] Pixel Art - Abomination Boss

Hello!
My name is Sven Thole, I’m a pixel artist from Sweden and today I announce a new character project:
Pixel Art - Abomination Boss

The purpose of this forum post is to share my creative process behind my pixel art characters. Hopefully I will be able to update this thread with daily progress. Feel free to comment/criticize/give suggestions throughout the creation process. The first step when creating a new character is gather reference material. Here is the material I will work from:


Feel free to check out my work on: Unity Asset Store

Day 1: Working on initial design! Not quite sure yet how I want the human face to look like. Feel free to leave suggestions.

Day 2: Finished character design. Started making an idle animation. Nearly done, just need some arm movement for the human torso.

The section below the human torso looks a little funny, not sure about the animation, looks a little off. Probably not final at this point though.

Maybe consider adding a little more detail or subtle color shift in the area where the torso comes out of the abomination, to show distinction from the human torso and the abomination. Looking at it at 1/3 - 1/4 size there isn’t enough info in the detail to display this is an amalgamation of two beings stuck together. :wink:
Looking at the original reference material - there is distinct gradient treatment on both the torso and lower parts to portray the melding of the two forms.

Great tips! Thanks for taking the time to write this.

Sadly I had some computer issues and could not draw or post anything yesterday. I started with an attack animation. Still in very early stages, looking forward to keep working on it tomorrow :slight_smile:

Added more weight and recovery to the motion. Still WIP.

Looks great so far.
The leg on the very right seems to just go up and down and does not have the same rotation pattern as the rest of the legs.
Really nice to see the progress
