Forgot to mention your tileset's texture and palette is pretty horrible as it is now.
For a grassy/dirty kinda set, here's few reference suggestions:

I like the little characters, but there is some things that could be improved.What do you guys think of the character design though? I'm trying to make it simple and attractive.
I have no clue what this technique is called so I'll call it "cleaning up the pixels" it might take a bit more time but I bet it'll make the outcome better.
You basically just clean up the lines and make sure diagonal lines don't meet.
Depending on how you want the stylization of the game to come out, you could also make the outline of those little guys be a darker shade of the primary color; like in this pic:
I noticed the grey tones didn't look good unless I made them slightly red, too. I guess it just makes it more colorful; but it might depend on the style you're going for in the game, I personally think it looks better but it's up to you.
-
Maybe some other shit on top of that too
-
I like the fat outlines much better.
They could still be colored.
-
I read somewhere that it's better to work from the shadows to the brighter parts than it is to color the bright parts first and then add darker parts.
-
Yeah you basicaly work your way up, but the first thing you do is have a base color and then block the shapes out with the darkest shade and maybe some highlights, though that applies to painting so I'm not sure how it'd work in MSPaint
-
Used only 3 colours. Tried to get it little noire feeling.
-
Hahahaha. Yeah. I realize that humongous dirt blocks aren't very attractive. That second picture has almost exactly the sort of scenery I'm going after. I'll try to do the weird scrapey dirt thing.
Yeah. I noticed the chest area was a bit bothersome The denser lines at the beak and other areas were intentional.I like the little characters, but there is some things that could be improved.

I really like contrast though. I think the reddish-gray tones sort of detracts from how much the sprites pop out at you. But I'll definitely give it a go later.
That definitely looks nice, but doesn't seem very appropriate for a game about a BAMF bird that kills bears. It would look nice in a dreamy world like in Braid or something though.Maybe some other shit on top of that too
Looks nice, especially the hand, but some things are a bit out of proportion, like the ears. I'm not an expert at anatomy, but I think the neck might be a bit too thick too. The hat should be wider, and maybe you could give him cuffs. Overall it's not bad, but a few more details in the background could help set the mood.

Thanks for some cc, laughingstock.
Added fourth colour for background activity, did some minor fixes.
Edited:
I'm either really creative or really bored.

This sounds like a good way to paint
The evolution of the robot continues, heavier armor has been added to give its wearer a much better protection. The Mark III also includes higher mobility, something that the previous models lacked, and a much larger visor has been added so that the wearer will be more aware of his surroundings.
The Mark III has also an integrated powersource that not only is more efficent, but is much more protected from enemy fire since it is now part of the armor.

You missed the spot by the trigger.Thanks for some cc, laughingstock.

I made a new tile block. How does it look?
-
I didn't feel like resurrecting the Weapons dump thread while resurrecting myself as well. I thought of this idea when wondering what kind of superweapons the US special forces would take with them into the Zone if they became s.t.a.l.k.e.r.s.
Oh, and it is caseless. The ejection port on the side is just for fixing misfires.
-
Your back, nice to see you.
-
What do you guys think so far? I have four different tiles, shown in the image above, a static background, a sun, and a cloud. There will be pine trees or your average looking trees in the background once I finish it. I'm just not sure about how I'll draw them. I tried to stylize the rest of the objects so it wouldn't look like I copied and pasted them from a bunch of other games.
-
Weapons dump thread is p much dead, so I'll post here too.I didn't feel like resurrecting the Weapons dump thread while resurrecting myself as well.

Started TMP.

Drew a red robot. May I have some c&c?
-
dead is my grandpa,you guys only need to wake up that thread,so Im starting drawing a few guns too...
In the meantime,I wanted to draw soething simple in a minute,but then I took 10 and draw this
(I love centerline looks) Then I ask 5 buddys and only 2 of them saw the same thing,2 saw diffrent and the fift saw more than just one thing. Then I roatate that picture 90° and they started to see something else again.

I was never any good at drawing robots, and it might depend on the style you're going for; but I always thought that robotic things look best when you use the line and curve tools to give it a more smooth look, since they're supposed to be machines and machines use straight lines and such.

I think overall it looks pretty good, and I like the concept and coloring of the character. But the inconsistency of smoothing on the legs, feet, head etc throw me off a bit. Same with how the eye isn't an oval/circle.
Also the gun looks too simple in my opinion.

First time I've made a deagle using a reference.
By the way, do those deagles with the built-in picatinny rail even exist outside Call of Derp?
-
Nice job! Also, I'm pretty sure you can order customs slides/frames for deagle with rails.First time I've made a deagle using a reference.

YeahFirst time I've made a deagle using a reference.
By the way, do those deagles with the built-in picatinny rail even exist outside Call of Derp?
also the 2010 redesign has a picatinny rail
unless you meant the lower frame, then also yes you can have a gunsmith mount one for you or do it yourself
-
A crying tear, with another crying tear off of one of the crying tear's tear. How's that for creative?
-
Lower rail on a deagle looks like crap though, why would someone even do that.
As for laser pointers/flashlights this way is prettier by far:
-
The desert eagle is kinda ugly period
Jericho all the way mayne
-
Jericho doesn't take chunks off bodies. :D
But here's a Jatimatic. It's incredibly hard to draw because of all the different awkward angles the parts are in. In fact this is a major FAIL because the barrel is in the wrong angle. The line between the back and front sights should be the same as the line of the barrel.
-
I'm pretty sure the fin doesn't work like that.Thanks for some cc, laughingstock.

Blueprint for a mech

I love it.
Blueprint for a mech
All i have to do now is draw the face and add shading
bit pointless but it'll be done post-haste.
-
And that was a wonderful educational moment from my brother, the gun nerd.Yeah
also the 2010 redesign has a picatinny rail
unless you meant the lower frame, then also yes you can have a gunsmith mount one for you or do it yourself
So proud of you!
Edited:
It is ugly. Cause it's not a shotgun. Most beautiful weapon ever...
Edited:
Yeah, you know... and learn proper anatomy.

-
I'm trying my best, and adding on to that. The drawing was actually an attempt at trying to better myself on terms of anatomy. It may not be amazing, but as much as I try, each time will give me a little bit of experience gradually.
-
I like it but with those leg joints it doesn't look like it could walk.

I did this guy awhile ago, maybe they could be friends?
-
Oh hey it's you!
It was a new style for you I completely didn't see it was you!
This is very good that you're changing your style so drastically and moving onto realisem!
I now make my comment: Excellent, keep on the good work!
-
Thank you so much
Finished, I hope you guys like it. Also if there's anything you don't like tell me.
PS: Rety do you think this would look better with the moustache?
-
Looks almost like a daishi up front
Blueprint for a mech
actually yeah, if you're looking for mech references check out the mechwarrior series
-
picture isnt working for meThank you so much

Edited:
oh now it is
also go with a full beard this time
-
How about now?
-
yep now its good
-
Hmm maybe, I'm not sure how to draw mechs to be honest so any help would be awesome
Edited:
I googled and yes it almost does, I will check out mechwarrior series and get some good references from there so I can make plausible mech
-
Lightning Hawk and improved Jatimatic
-
I'm working on Mark II of the mecha, now with better stance and all that
