Run cycles!

After another little absence, here's some more animation!

This time, we have a run cycle for 8-way top-down movement, 16-bit style. For more details and a little making of, look inside!

Animation: Walk Cycle

(click to enhance)

This is just a quick update with a walk cycle I've finished just now, intended for a theoretical point and click adventure.

VN character: Lady with basket

Another one-off character artwork. Like last week's entry, this would work as a VN portrait for dialogues.

VN Character: Flight attendant

Happy new year! I'm starting this year off with a still illustration designed for use in a VN-style game, meaning: has to be nice to look at, has to show some personality at least, doesn't need to be animated. In practice, a still that's more or less facing the viewer and can be used for dialogue scenes.

Two pixel artworks!

Click the images to view at full pixel size. Trust me, it'll look much nicer! 

Two samples of pixel art, fresh from the presses! It's a set of more than 20 pieces, so patience is needed in case you're looking to see more

Hope you like them!

Pixel art: Units!

This is part of a bigger thing, and I thought I'd post some of it here. Four-way walk animations in 32 x 32 pixels. Character designed by myself, and there's a stack of other animation and characters in the same set. The whole thing should come out in due time. Hope you like it!

(And if you were wondering, the inspirations for each faction are Indian/Sikh/Khalsa and 19th century Russian infantry.)

Character: John Charity Spring

After another lengthy absence, here's another full-body piece, this time based on a non-central but extremely interesting character from a great series of novels.
