Posted: Sun May 17, 2009 11:43 pmIt looks pretty good. I just added the other end of the syringe. It is pretty hard to make such small sprites, if this one still doesn't fit, I suggest making the center a pixel or two wider, and compress one of the ends.

I usually don't do pixel art, and if I do, it is on a bigger scale. I guess you don't need as much detail, but you can't put in much either.

The detail is just stunning.

like say your making... a rock... exciting yes, anyway if its big, you have to put in detail over the whole large surface, where on a small rock you just have to put in a few colour changes here and there and it looks fine because its so small xD
xP im so lazy

Small < Big in detail
so you can have small sprites with few details, and it could look great, because you can't put much detail in something small, it's hard, you also can't get shapes right with smaller things.
with bigger sprites, detail is key, sometimes you need to draw something, scan it, go over it, and make a sprite off of that. with bigger sprites it's easy to get any shape or rotation you want.
so really if you have the skills of drawing, a scanner and a good image editing program you can make big, good looking sprites, but you only need a couple pixels and ms paint to do a small sprite, which is why you see alot of sprites that are so small, need less work.
