Ha, nice! Love the expressions, and the pixel-y style is really fun. Gotta give the guys more arm to work with though, so they can properly brace themselves! But I sympathize, foreshortening is hard.
heh thanks, been experimenting with pixel art and the limitations can be pretty freeing - less choices to make and all that
and yeah, the poses in general are pretty sketchy if you look too closely at them - was tinkering with the non-hand-holding arms in particular for hours, flipping the canvas 100x, trying to see where to place them, but eventually decided it would have to be a case of "good enough" lol
Oh I know the feeling, believe me. And it's usually the correct decision. Finished art leads to more finished art, and making more art is the best way to improve. Spending too much time on a piece after a certain point just wastes effort; most people learn faster by starting off fresh. I certainly do at least.
But regardless, this is still really cool to see! Appreciate it.
