Pixel Art / Game Assets

Using Photoshop, I made several Sprites which will be used for various games I produce for the course.

Here are various Pixel Art Sprites which I have created for a Space Invaders type game. Instead of using spaceships, I chose to use a Pirate theme. For these I used basic pixel art techniques shown to us in a lecture, setting the canvas size then simply painting pixel by pixel. I preferred to start with a silhouette of the Sprite then add on details and colour from there. For inspiration, I looked at images of galleons on Google. I then simplified the shapes into its most basic form. The details added are limited as this wide pixels were used. Going forward, I would have added more variations between the main ship and enemy ships to give an obvious distinction to the person playing the game. I would go around the images further to edit and refine the doubles within the images.
