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:
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.
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.
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
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
