Description
I thought I'd try this pixel art thing again after getting immensely bored doing revision. He's kinda cute, but I'm not entirely happy with the animation.So yeah, critique seriously encouraged, I know very little about pixel art and would love to know where I'm going wrong. Help me out?

Edit:
This seems to be quite a common question so I'll address it here.
You are welcome to use this particular piece as an avatar on DA, forums, etc, provided you credit me for it. Please leave a comment letting me though, it's always nice to know that someone wants to use this one and it makes it easier to keep tabs on my work.

Another edit:
It seems this need to be clarified, so I'll try again.
You may:
Use this piece as an avatar on DA or other forums, if and only if you give me credit, and link back to either here or my gallery.
You may not:
Upload this piece to anywhere and claim it as your own artwork.
Use this piece in any way, shape or form without crediting me.

Hee, thanks!
I did this one in photoshop, but I am reliably informed that there are much better programs out there for making them in. I don't really do pixel art very much...

the shading needs to be smoothed with the checker pattern

Aw it's very cute...and HOMG! YOUR ALIVE!
Anyway, I can't see anything really bad, there's a wobbly pixel when his ears move, but it's not really noticeable. Apart from that, it's fine. I'm going to steal this cutie now! *steals and runs off*

Aww thanks hun!
I know, I live! I'm heading back to durham tomorrow though, and my exams hit in 3 weeks so I'll probably go back to being barely here again.
I'd missed that, I'll go back and fix that at some point. Nuuu! Dun steal my foxy... *chases*

I know little about pixels as well, but I don't see much wrong with this. Animations don't have to all be super huge and flashy. I think it's very well done, and cute to boot.

derangedfirebird In reply to RedLion [2007-04-18 21:21:13 +0000 UTC]
Thank you very much for the kind words and the fave!
I dunno, the animation seems kind of... stop - start, if that makes any sense. It just doesn't feel like it flows properly. I dunno, maybe I'm being overly critical, it's just bugging me.
Meh. He's a cute lil foxy. *pokes him*

It is REALLY cute.. but sadly I know about pixels about as much as I know about... car engines. Believe me, that is not a good thing.

Lol, thanks hun. I just know so little about what I'm doing here it's untrue. Hmmm... I think I'll poke da for pixel tutorials. Maybe that might help.
