Just out of curiosity are there any good pixel/sprite artists on this forum?

thanks

If you mean minecraft style pixel art then I am I guess.

My friend is an amazing pixel artist. He used to design games using an old program called Klik & Play and he did all his graphics himself in pixel art.

He made a card game called King Deck that was sort of a Magic The Gathering cross Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock style thing. Blue beats Red, Red beats Green etc and every card was a different creature/spell that he did himself.... Freaking awesome and I wish I had it so I could screenshot it and post it.

Is anyone interested in making some pixel art? I'm making a small game (well 2 if this post picks up http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/240/502062.page#5345539 ) but I'm not very good on the arty side. I can't afford to pay anything, so it would be more for the love of it at the moment!

I may have a DKoK sprite lying around. Let me check.

How does one place a commissar in your game by the way? I couldn't find out how for the life of me. And what type of pixel artist are you looking for? Where the sprites in your game representative of what you were looking for? Or were you thinking more along the lines of 8 bit, 16 bit, animation etc. One of my friends does all of his own pixel art for RPGs that he makes with RPG maker, and I'm not too shabby myself. I might be interested.

Can't find the sprite, sorry.
You place commisars by clicking where you want em.

Doesn't work. All I see is 10 guys jumping out of a Valkyrie then walking off the world in a line.

You need to place commisars (you got two) to lead them to the flag, you fool! Click to place 'em

Tried, nothing happens. I click like a maniac and all that happens is my finger gets tired.

Strange. Worked in Chrome.

Ah, only tested in Chrome. I will check other browsers and update. I will add more levels as well if there's a demand!

Yeah, I'm running Waterfox, so it may well be a problem with bits.

Shall I assume it's 32 bit?

OK I've updated it and it should work in ie9, firefox and Chrome! As I say it's very basic graphics as it was more a proof of concept! But I will improve it if there is demand

With regards to the images/sprites I'm open for anything. As I say this was more of a proof of concept. I'm making another game where I'm after a sort of snes "zelda a link to the past" style look

I've made some updates to the game. This includes adding a more "Lemming" type feel to it. You now have to click a specific trooper to turn them into a commissar. Going forward I plan to add more trooper "types" to do different things. Most of what I've done has been "behind the scenes" tonight. But tomorrow evening I hope to create a new level and a new trooper type. I've got some ideas of these types and some "obstacles" that the troopers will need to over come
