dex's progressive art thread, daerht tra evissergorp s'xed

Welcome to my art thread, folks! My name's Adam and I'm acting like an announcer because I have nothing better to do at 2:00 a.m! This thread will showcase all the stuffs I make because I'm always much too lazy to create a brand new thread! So yeah! Head down to the latest post for the updates, ladies and gentlemen. Keep your hands and feet in the windows at all times, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Out of all of these, I think only the robot has a shading style that really works for it, since the rest have a very cartoony feel, and the dim colors kind of take whatever life was there out of them. In some it's also just kind of hard to tell what is what due to the shading. The line art in a lot also feel kind of wonky, angles on some things are just kind of wrong like the UFO firing the beam.

The space piece and the robot are probably the best, because as I said, the color choice and shading styles work well for those types of settings, but the rest it just looks and feels pretty strange on. And before you finish that old guy, you may want to look at that foot again.

I love the forest scene with the troll

Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate it~

I agree about the robot, thanks. You gotta remember though, that most of these are def. WIPs, so everything is subject to change, such as the old man's foot and the UFO. That's also the case with the wonky lineart, just sketching.

Maybe it's from painting or something, but I normally end up choosing dimmer colors, haha. I'll try to brighten things up, any piece in general you think may need that?

Thanks for the C+C, man. Nice to see you again...!

The space scene is perhaps the best because of the shading as Delmore said. It seems a lot more realistic and the colour choices seem better.

I'm looking forward to the bridge though, i love the way you end up doing the water.

Great to see you again!

loving the space scene

Holy crap! Your work is awsome.

Great work, better then I remember. One critique I can make on the spot is that there seems something odd with the robot-space scenes legs: They seem weirdly straight. I know they are probably supposed to be straight and stiff like a robot but I think a little curviness wouldn't hurt. Again, good job!

Dex I love your cartoon scenes.
Please make some more, maybe a more realistic scene!

that's what the WIPs ones are pretty much :V

also, normally it's cartoony people in realistic settings, i.e. trees, mountains, etc etc

thanks for all the comments and stuffs

I love the mountain climber. Even though it's a WIP, I love the simplicity of it as is. Very relaxing, the no-dithering is nice. Not that I don't like dithering, but a mix is nice sometimes.



Love your work man, keep it up.

the only updates worth updating

also some random sprites, avatars, and a continuation of my oooooold cave story mario sprites, thought maybe if i finish a useable set someone might find a reason to use them, haha

i love the cave story one to death

great cave story stuff

Lovely work, especially the space scene.

Hey, I'd need the cave story styled sprites

PM'd you about it months ago

OKAY OKAY LARGE POST COMIN' IN~



Here's a digital doodle I did with drawr.net- a japanese art site with a built in art program. Very simple, very fun.



Some watercolor thing that got an award in an art show or something.

THEN SOME PIXELSTUFFS:



this dump of WIPs and such was composed before I went on vacation this past week, so they haven't been updated much since. ALSO A CAVE STORY MARIO MOCKUP JUST FOR YOU GUYS

but yeah that's what I've been up to. <3

That Moses is incredibly badass.

Very amazing stuff, dude. You handle pixels like you've done nothing else.
May I ask what program you are using?

So you're not doing project squire anymre? Anyways the stuff you have is awsome still, you need to make a tutorial for this stuff.
