Nice!!!

Any plans for the King of the Battlefield, AKA Kodiak?

[GonaDie]

So I gave my shot at pixel art.

This was suppose to be a Panther, but I guess it ended up being too small and you can't really tell

[Alistair Winter]

Good stuff, GonaDie! It's not that it's too small, it's just a matter of where you put the pixels.

Didn't you see the outline above? Kodiak is coming. I did the Night Gyr first. Not sure why. It was really hard though, on account of the spherical shapes. I may go back and fix some things.

It's not the size that matters it's the way you use it?

Wonderful work!
And I can't wait for the Kodiak!

Thank you senpai!

I might aswell, try something bigger this time.

That's what she said

[Luscious Dan]

Working with small pixel counts is inevitable, that was clearly a Panther

Looking good on the new batch Alistair, kinda surprised you went with the Night Gyr first but it looks great. I'm curious to see how yours compare to some of my revised ones Which reminds me, at some point I need to update the ones I posted to the other thread, I don't think the most recent versions are posted anywhere.

Well... the Kodiak was 10 times harder than the Night Gyr. Maybe the hardest one I've done, because it's such a complex model. Hard to get the teddybear head right, hard to get the hands right, the legs are extremely complex shapes, the chest is hard... I don't know that I'm happy with this result, but I'm not sure I can do much better.

How does the teddybear head read? Does it look right? Hard to make the eyes as menacing as the original.

I tried to increase size of the cockpit window, enhance the ears, and flatten the forehead to look more like the concept art. Incidentally, I think this makes it look a little more aggressive. I may have accidentally turned it into terminator armor.

I'll take a stab at it tonight, unless I get distracted by beers on the patio. Could maybe use a little more emphasis on the ears if possible, but it's definitely tricky adding that much detail into what 6-8 pixels width?

Looks solid, you're totally right it has lots of complex shapes (some rounded, some square) and hands in this scale are generally a nightmare. There's usually the wrong number of pixels to make the fingers the same size. Doesn't it have 3 fingers and a thumb though? Not 4 + thumb?

[Luscious Dan]

As a side note, if the Kodiak receives a 2+/5++ save I won't complain about losing its agility quirks

[Mechteric]

Excellent work guys, looking forward to all the new ones!


Also, I'm in the early stages of making an open source game using them, going for a Front Mission (SNES) feel using Alpha Strike rules When I have a playable alpha I'll be sure to post it around! No guarantees on when that will be, likely a few months.

"Hunter"! I choose you!

[Luscious Dan]

Doh. I tried out a different head design for the Kodiak, and forgot to do anything with it before I left the office. It's stuck on my desktop there for another day.

[Luscious Dan]

My attempt at the head. Moved the head/neck down a pixel to give more room for ears.

Might just be me, but its head kinda looks like a Sea Lion with its tongue sticking out (the ears looked a bit like eyes at first glance)
