Pixel Art!! :D

Woots! I did quite a bit for today's CPD :D

Well... lets seeeeee. 

Firstly I thought we should start on animation! So i decided to do an animation for our pixel tree (which the player will harvest throughout the course of the game~) 

It seems pretty cool (I'll post it up after this post so read the rest first!)

Hmm then I went on to design enemies! They would be the hostile creatures that the player will encounter and fight. For now I decided to create boss looking enemies so maybe these enemies will be placed at the end of the island instead of spawning randomly throughout the island (there will be smaller enemies for those) well for now I have three such drafts for our "mini-bosses"! :D

Here they are...

WHALEY-WHALE!!!!

So yup! This is the first mini boss I designed~ I wanted today's theme to be underwater/aquatic (basically anything involving the ocean) enemies so.. The first is actually a whale kind of creature XD

Since this mini boss will be encountered on land, I decided to give it legs to let it move about (hope the animation won't be too tedious! *faints*) but yeah! Here it is in color...

I gave it a blue back because I think it looks sleek on the monster and I can imagine this creature swiftly darting through the ocean (if it's in the ocean that is) and gulping food with it's wide mouth.

Speaking of wide mouth, Here comes 

FLOUNDERING-ANGLERFISH!!!

Yup it's a fish on land so it's floundering (geddit XD) and yup! It's an angler fish so it has the cute lil lantern on it's head :D (i'm pretty sure it's not a lantern but yeah D:)

I thought my whaley was a little too dull D: soooooo, I gave this a more vibrant color :D And check out it's hugeeeeee mouth and weird teeth :X

Well lastly, I decided to do something more menacing and dangerous so... I decided to use a hammerhead shark as reference! 

SNAKEY-LAT-something-DA!!! (yes I can't spell it)

Well, as you can see, the hammer head looks kind of derpy in my opinion. D: but yeah I wanted a hammerhead shark fused with a sea snake :D so yeah I went to research on sea snakes D: 

SEA SNAKES CANNOT GO ON LAND (fully aquatic) but good news issssss,

LATICAUDA :D (nailed it!)

Apparently this type of snake

Can actually move on land and it is less adapted for the aquatic life unlike any other sea snake :D

So yeah! I looked through it and it seems like they are closer to land(umm..) snakes and will mainly stay on land or shallow water. sooooooo yeap! I decided to go for it!

As you can see I kinda lied about the hammerhead. I realized, after like a billion times of trying, I cannot get a hammerhead shark's head right D: sooooo I gave up and went for a full sea snake :D But I kept the fins for it so it still looks badass XD

Well for me I'm glad went for the sea snake completely because I love Snakey the most hehe. It just feels cuddly~

Welll! I'm sorry for rambling but omg I've got a few more to talk about. (stay with me D:)

So next! I decided to do another creature for my GLD which can be used for this CPD/FYP too so yeap! here it is!

Heh, it's a... Weird skull like creature with a long tongue and some flowy paper on its back XD 

Yeah I haven't got a name for it but for now I'll call it Skully. Seems legit :D

And yup! I'm hoping to integrate this into both my games! (my One button game and LEGASEA) 

Moving on!!

SO yap here is the landscape I did (this canvas size is... 1600x900... I think) 

Yeah I kinda like the clouds even though some passing remarks was that it... doesn't look like clouds. :(

But it's ok! I'll work harder and make sure it looks better XD 

But this isn't the main point.. It's what's coming next!

PIXEL ART

YUP! from that environment I did, I created a pixel art version of it :D I hope we can use this in our Legasea (with improvements of course) and yeah ignore that purple thingy on the bottom left... it's supposed to be the northern lights... :( yeah I suck. I know D:

But well! I'll try my best the next time!

oh right! I asked my sensei (michael) for opinions regarding the game logo I designed.

He told me that the sunset was wrong because the lighter shades of orange should be closer to the sun instead of further (duh, omg I can't believe I missed that) and also I could add some clouds (I did not add this because I... kind of forgot. hahahaha) but no worries! I'll add them soon! Here it is for now, (fixed the sunset)

PHEW! This has got to be one of my longest posts! that's it for now! 

I'll post the GIF(my pixel tree) above this post! check it out!

CIAO!
