A place to share your WIP
As a host I know theme in advance so I started a bit earlier than everyone else. But don't worry I am not going to use my power to cheat so I keep track on when I started to finish without exceeding limit of time which is given to all other people... It is generally already done and I just need to bring all the drawings in perfect shape. Which will take just several days. It is a minor but tedious task to spread all the parts of the finished drawings among separate tilesheets. I won't submit this to the jam because I've already exceeded time limits of the jam. I still think if I should separate clothes patterns on top/bottom pattern as also how to keep track of combined clothes pattern. Btw, here is a sneak peak of what I drew this time ;)
I am quite surprised that I drew girls better than boys. Always when I tried to draw people in pixel art, the boys looked better than girls. I started from boy heads but somewhat girl heads just looked better. And because of this most clothes/patterns look prettier on girls so amount of descent girl combinations is going to be greater than amount of descent boy combinations
It's been a busy month so I haven't had the chance to work on it everyday, but I wanted to share the wip! All of the layers are separate and I made two different body types. I worked in color but changed it to gray because I realized the colors can be modified in a game engine. I'm going to export each layer on separate sprite sheets, and I want to add some more hair and clothes options.
Here is a grayscale version of the other body type. I think it's easier to see everything in the colored mode, but I'm hoping the gray will lead to more customization. :>
Cool art! And it's a great idea to use grey colors but I (am not fully sure about it) would recommend you to add one separate zip file where the sprites are colored so the users can have easier time to get preview...
At least one entry will be submitted this month. I am glad :P
