Elysian Shadows

That's pretty much what I do. But I'm talking about the delay when you hold the key down. I might just not understand exactly what you said. And I've attempted to work with KeyPress but I couldn't find a working solution to execute the same code that my KeyDown event does.

Alright, I tried to simulate the type of shading you had in your picture. How's this?

Hey everybody, I've been doing Visual Basic game development for about 7 months now. I've never actually tried making an RPG style game before, but now I am attempting to accomplish it. I've always used the KeyDown event for checking if a key is pressed to move your character. However, when you do h...

Yeah, here it is.

Start with an easy language like Python or Visual Basic(what I use). It's boring at first, but once you learn the essentials of creating a game it's FUN AS HELL.

When I tried to make the creases darker, it looked more choppy... I'm not sure how to use the colors I have to still make it appear shaded.

I have used Gimp, in fact I use it for my website templates. I've never actually tried pixel art on it though.

Thanks :D

Hopefully, haha. :P I've redesigned a lot of it after taking everybody's advice. I haven't added in the sword in yet, but I think I did a better job on this one. I didn't use dithering because I can't, heh. I'm pretty intimidated by dithering overall, so I probably won't be using it yet. I added mor...

Thanks. And man... That is incredible. I've tried to do things like that, yet they never turn out as planned. :\

Thanks. :P Yeah, I'm absolutely horrible at hair and I really like the top-down view so I just put a ball. Sort of like those Flash games like Athalina RPG or Hero RPG. After taking the advice, here is the updated version: http://i54.tinypic.com/25f3ij4.png Don't mind the purple background, that is ...

I'm really new to pixel art, and in my perspective I am absolutely horrible at it. I've been messing around on MS Paint for awhile, and I've come with something decent... I think. I made a sprite for this one game I plan to program, but I need both feedback and advice on it. These will both be appre...
