Piles of Pixels [Selkie's Sprites]

[TheoreticalSelkie]

Annnd I just missed WIP Wednesday this week so pretend today's Wednesday.

WIP Wednesday 5/8/2015

So yeah I did show Speed this challenge over here on Tumblr. I plan on trying to animate at least three of those guys (I have one done, two more to go) so stay tuned for them later this weekend hopefully!

So to talk a bit about this kind of style, I've always had a preference for lower colors in pixel art. Not quite sure why, but I have this sense of satisfaction when I do stuff with lower colors because the constraints make me think about how to use one color in unlikely places. Though, if you know me, you can see me lamenting how pink goes so well with blue. I feel like I still have a long way to go with color since there are so many good pixel artists that can do some crazy stuff with colors like here and here. Perhaps I'm just a color nut, but this is one of the best things about pixel art for me.

I really do need to experiment more with color honestly :P.
