Why Not?

Here's my pixel art.

This is Shaion, the final boss of the game.

Currently in the process of animating it. Seeing as I'm no spriting god, that sprite alone took me about twenty or thirty minutes on coffee, and isn't glossy or amazing in any way.

However, this is my style which I've come to love, and I have to say that since the RPG competition, I've improved in many aspects of pixel art, including speed.

In RPG news, I wanted to post a video covering all the classes. But I couldn't think of an easy way to annotate as well as record from both the mic and speakers. So instead, have some screenshots. Because why the fuck not?

This time around I'm showing the stealth class, the Shadowlurker.

This is the Shadowlurker's special move: the ability to summon a clone that will fight for you for a short time.

Visual distortions in the Terminal Band.

The lovely screen of death.

The first zone of the Aethereal Band, the badlands. Still…a work in progress.

This one's the Skirmisher. He can place a smoke bomb to briefly become stealthed while in the area, and block some projectiles.

The Skirmisher's special is a ring which ups his power while he's inside it. Also, the saverune

The Particle Artist has some lovely sustain if you empower his moves.

The Particle Artist draws a pentacle.

Empowering it increases the effect. With full Astral Force (which increases the density of your next spell), this attack is pretty fucking powerful.

MAN I SUCK.

My favorite classes at the moment are as follows:

Shadowlurker: The stealth class, capable of quick escapes and powerful attacks.

Skirmisher: The mobility class, able to fight at a distance or close the gap for a quick strike.

Particle Artist: The ranged class which uses tons of bullets to strike enemies while staying at a safe distance.

Two and a half weeks to go, guys. Here's hoping this'll be finished in time.

The bow fuckin' rocks. Leave it.

Also, it had better be a girl, because I have a crush on her. It had better not be some, like, dark priest or something, that likes to wear dresses, and the "bow" is actually just a really tall caller that comes up the back.

This is looking great Kilin. Can't say your sprites are bad, for the most part. :3

This is one of the games I look forward to playing.

Masking arrogance in a compliment. Stop that. I've made it fully clear that graphics aren't my thing; why must you rub it in my face so?

I'm not masking anything. That's your style of art, I'm not complaining.

The tiles do look repetitive. There. Take that as some criticism if you have to have it.

There you go, Mega. If nothing bad is ever said, nothing good will ever get done.

Just do it in a way that doesn't make you look like an asshole, and thus makes me look like an asshole for calling someone out.

I really have been being an asshole this past three months.

Thanks. You totally made me realize that [furry]'s the biggest asshole ever to walk 64Digits.

And now I'm going to bed.

We're all being assholes.

Competitions do this to us. Let's get it over with so we can resume being… wait. Normal isn't the correct wording in this situation…
