Goro told me to make an art thread, that tyrant.

So I did:

This was for the Badge of Blood (site is currently down for some reason) Half-Life 2 modification community that I never posted to, yet. But, instead of it being a whole fanatic-artwork piece and whatnot, it was more of a texturing/photoshop/lighting effort. I think it turned out horribly.

Moving on;

Here, I have one of the few "concept" soldier designs for The Federation Army for Outpost 101, which I gave up production on. ('Twas suppost to be a 3DMM movie, remember?) Anyway, it was mainly for the whole torso, but I decided to stick on poorly-drawn arms and legs.

... And here is just some stuffs I did over MS Paint this year. Kyle Magocs (bottom-left obviously) was probably the best piece of "pixel art," if concidered so, work using MS Paint.

Yeah, the middle one is definitely the best of the bunch. I can see what you mean about having a similar style to me.. I focus on the torso as well quite often, but then the appendages often feel tacked on. Yours here have come together fairly well!

I would really like to see some sketches of Zix characters as well

More like bottom right.

Magocs head looks awesome for some reason. I wouldn't consider it pixel art, though.

Work on your characters' bodies, though. Try to give them more natural poses. The character in the second one is standing like he has a serious Napoleon complex.

But yeah, cool stuff here!

Sorry, Bud. I don't do furries.

Oh, and HMC; my freehand is horrible with posing. It turns to be all sloppy, and all of the proportions are off.

Forget about the furry ones, do the awesome green guy

The first two are really plain and boring in concept. Generic, in a way.

The last image you posted has soom cool shit in it though, like that thing in the center. It's like a mix of those things from Spirit Within and that other thing... from... that movie...

It looks cool and FAMILIAR.

I like the Kyle Magocs thing, a lot.
