I gotta say Gem that pretty sweet some great artwork there keep it up!

[InsaneJP]

jesus man you did that in all pixels? must took a long *** time! hey hows your spriting going at all with the template you like to make? use the spritesheet i lent ya at all? i still plan to add WAY more to that

[Ben]

Yeah dude, its straight up pixels. Ive been going hard on the flat out PA lately. I havent done anything with my Side view templates, Im waiting for stencyl to be released before I do much with those, but they are saved away in a dark corner for now,lol.

Im just mostly working on some Isomatric 64X64 tiles now, and made a sweet old school 16X16 tileset. Planning on releasing an isometric TBS sprite template sometime in the early new year as well.

Im working with 16 and 8 color pallettes, to try and get my eye trained up on tertiary contrasts, which is lots of fun as well. Ill probably post some of that sort of stuff up on my DA, and maybe drop off my top down tileset here, as somebody will find a use for them.

Im diggin your photoshop lines right now too. Some nice crisp work buddy

[InsaneJP]

wow man sounds like youve ben busy with some pretty sick ideas! well ill def need to take a look at that when your done!

Yea im using the side template sheet i made im still remaking all my bcharas into them.... omg it takes forever! lol

Haha thanks glad ya like the lines My deviant actually has the originals up and the line work..... i use the pen tool with anchors and brush with pressure

I hope to make a game with my character brash eventually =)

[Ben]

sometimes i read about old things i was working on and think "Why didnt i finish that"

but thats irrelavent.
Some tiles for a steampunky platformer....early WIP here
Much more on the way.

Figured Id post them here

The entire project is being done with the same 16 colour palette

Its my favorite palette.

Also, another piece that i never finished, that one day, i will finish, that is not finished right now.

Dude.... Squidhead is amazing up close.

[Fisherson]

I love that tile set, but the squid headed dude scares the **** out of me with it's multi-layer shading.

[Valiere]

Really dig your stuff, especially the blocky 3D style. Very nice.

[Dominicy]

The tileset reminds me of Monster Boy.

The Illithid (I presume) looks great, to put it mildly, though the very VERY different shading techniques used between the first and second set of tentacles is extremely hard to ignore.  Save for that, it looks nothing short of stunning.

[Uberpwn_w00t]

He said it wasn't done.

Which makes me wonder how many more pants I would shit if it was done. I already went through several.

[Ben]

only his two right tentacles are done.
Only the shoulder, two tentacles and his upper head are done.

The whole thing will be dithered at some point...at this rate it will be done in six years.

[fruckert]

Damn...that tileset looks nice
Good job Gem

[Dominicy]

My apologies.  Hadn't realized you said it wasn't done   Certainly passable as being done, if I may say so myself.

[Ben]

thanks man

So, is that a screenshot from AGM, or just a mock-up? (It looks like something I would have sex with if it took human form. Regardless of what gender it happened to become.)
