Sonic Pixel Art Scenes

[Previous]

Guess what I used? Paint!
Rushed a bit, but I suppose you see that one can make it smoother than you did. You just followed the lines and drew lines around lines.
However, blurs almost always look awkward.

To show how far they fall, you could increase the distance they already fell (as in, place them further down). I still think you could easily cut off about 150 pixels, though.


Oh, another thing. When you want to make such scene graphics with pasted sprites, you could make them much better if you'd tweak them to properly interact with their surroundings. In a game where the sprites move around over different backgrounds etc that's not possible, but when you make a still scene, you could. For example, have the pink Sonic in the secont picture be illuminated by the red shine of the lava below.

As for the fourth picture, you could apply the same split you made on the floor to the background tom emphasize the split between the good and evil characters.
