More pixelated Giant Bombers

No Caption Provided

Individuals

Here they are separate for anyone who wants em! These are all Included in the Zip file up above =)

In the beginning

right now it's just the two of us.
right now it's just the two of us.

I like the picture I have in my head of a bunch of em just running to the right like they're in some awful video game so I'll stick w/that motif for anyone else I add. I'll continue on with this until it eventually becomes something bigger, but no less stupid. Consider this a first pass -_-;; I'll put some more time into it tomorrow perhaps =)

Any suggestions for positions/clothing/people to add would be welcome =) I'm thinking I'll prolly do Jeff or Patrick next but who knows. . .

Update 1:

So, I fixed a few things at this point and added a rough Klepek. Ryan's beard has been trimmed a little in the neck area and I've increased Brad's sideburns by 100% (added a whole nother pixel to it). I've also made some adjustments to the clothing around Ryan's left arm. I messed around a little bit w/the idea of adding stubble to his chin but didn't really like how it looked so it's off for now though that's not to say it's not a possibility later on. I wanna get everyone in before I start really digging into details because I wanna keep it uniform. Btw, Klepek is in the classic shaggy run pose and wearing the same outfit I had him in my previous GB pixel thingy because I just think it's hilarious =P

No Caption Provided

I'll be back w/more eventually. I'm not entirely happy w/PK's pants. . .

Update 2

No Caption Provided

Added a Jeff. The face is still rough. I was thinking about having him look as if he's whistling but maybe I'll give him a more aggressive look. . . though if I did that it might make more sense if he was leaning forward on his mega scooter. iono.

Update 3

No Caption Provided

Added Mr Caravella & Co. I'll prolly figure out a way to add hardcore dave into the mix and after that. I dunno. Is that everyone? Alex Nvarro? This is all still rough but I'd still appreciate any comments on how to increase anyone's likeness if I'm missing stuff. Mostly, I'll need to do fine tuning of the face and hair of everyone.

Update 4

No Caption Provided

Drew to popular demand! Stupid pun aside, I added one Mr Scanlon to the mix. His face is still rough but I wanted to get the basic positioning in to see if it'd work in the first place. The only thing I can remember about him is North Korea, and flight simulators using that crazy 3 point hat sooooo. . . . he's doin an airplane whilst wearing said hat. I can't get the points on the hat to show w/a solid white bg, but it should be better once there's a bg that's not just white. Also, his face is somewhat jacked and you can't really see his hair. Mostly, the thing I'll go back and touch up the most will be all the character's hair since I just threw it in there to get the general face shape at the moment. Including Tricky's seemingly spike hair =P

Update 5

No Caption Provided

Navarro joins the mix. I wasn't really sure what to do with him. I'd gotten some suggestions on a party hat which I might still add depending on whether ppl think it's necessary. I went with this tongue face and horn hands to the side but it's pretty hard to tell what's going on with his left hand so I may scrap it later on. Just a few more then I can get to everyone's hair, proper shadows and some sort of a BG. Also, at this point, I may need them to actually be running away or escaping from something. I've got a couple things in mind but I'd like to keep it a surprise for later =P Also, good ol' Mr Marino has this post into the Community Spotlight on the front page =) Thanks for that!

Update 6

No Caption Provided

Re-positioned ppls and added a slightly older Hardcore Dave. At this point, am I missing anyone? -_-;; Does anything stand out as being completely wrong? If not, I'll prob start workin on some bg and fine tuning the existing characters into a more final phase =)

Update 7

No Caption Provided

Started putting in a really simple BG. I'm still not positive what exactly I want back there but maybe it'll come to me as I continue working on the foreground stuff. Anyway, special guest appearance. I think maybe I should add a collection of things/people/characters etc on the left chasin the bombers on the right. Dunno. . . This is all just off the top of my head.

Update 8

I couldn't get the idea out of my head once someone said it.

No Caption Provided

Also went back to a plain white BG for now till I can think of what I want to actually use. . . And I've been hearing a lot of calls for Alexander or some such person. I guess I'll have to dig up some pics or something to figure out who this guy is and what to draw him as. -_-;;

Update 9

No Caption Provided

I don't really know much about this Alexis fellow but due to popular demand, there he is. Since I'm not familiar w/him, I couldn't really figure out what to do, but upon searching for him on the internet, I found a picture of him riding a little girls tricycle down a hill. . . so there -_-;;

Update 10

No Caption Provided

Lots and lots of little edits across everyone. Biggest change is Rorie no longer being all mean and trying an open smile for Mr Davis. Futzed with a lot of hair and such. I also just realized that chesty McChesty hair totally reminds me of that big dude with the nutty hair from some fighting game. Maybe Street Fighter 4. I forget.

Update 11

No Caption Provided

Just for laughs.

Update 12

No Caption Provided

A very rough Brad Muir appears!

Just a few edits.

Update 13

No Caption Provided

More tweaking. I tried throwing Brad in his safety gear to see if it helps. I've got it so that it can easily be removed if it doesn't jive well. Also added Will's buddy and by request, a baby w/alchohol.

Update 14

No Caption Provided

Mr Marathon himself! =D

Update 15

No Caption Provided

Made some adjustments to Will, Ryan's got his old smile back, Greg has been darkened a bit, vinny's sleeves are shorter and minor tweaks all around.

Update 16

No Caption Provided

I'm pretty sure I'm done adding ppl. Unless someone that needs to be here pops up. Now I gotta try and think up something that'll work w/all of em background wise. =\

Update 17

No Caption Provided

Yet even more rearranging and the addition of some Comic Vine. I can't possibly be missing anyone at this point right? Right?

Update 18

No Caption Provided

Due to popular demand. Also tweaked Drew a bit because he had a serious Calvin and Hobbes vibe goin on before. . . May need a bit more. I'll try to add Whitta maybe tomorrow or so -_-;;

@NTM: That'll be taken care of once I get all the characters in place -_-;; It's sorta a messy fro atm and I tried for a fro in the wind look. . . Doesn't seem to work unless you're Afro Samurai.

@RockmanBionics: Thx for the link, those help greatly. I'll look into it =)

@helloiamgary: Wooooo!!! As I'm doin more, he's already almost lookin like a slightly different style from the rest. I'll even em all out once I'm done =P I'd like to skew more towards Ryan than the other way around.

@TheSouthernDandy: It's been expressed properly. Thank you sir.

@JCTango: Maybe I'll change his shoes so that it's an easier connection to make. That crotch shouldn't be shown in ANY form.

@mscupcakes: I might be able to whip up a gif of one of em, but to do the lot of em, that'd be way too many frames of animation =(

@pyromagnestir: And a Drew just to make it all the more confusing!

This is great stuff. Since it's "more" pixel art, care to point ignorant people like me to your earlier work?

Edit - Scratch that, just looked at your profile. All great, though I have to say this is my favourite of the styles you've shared so far. Keep going!

I think why people made the comparison of the Brad one looking like Rich Gallup is the chin. he has got Richs' chin. Maybe put him in safety Brad uniform

Looks great though!

Added Hardcore Dave. Notes in OP. Basically, is there anyone else I need to throw in before I start doing final edits and a BG? Looking at this now, I migth want to move Ryan a bit to the left and maybe up.

@joshthebear: I tried mixing the pixels a bit to make it a massive frown, and it was just depressing so I changed it back =P

@Phatmac: TY number one.

@cap123: Hahahahahahahah. . . .. no.

@Demoskinos: I <3 anamanaguchi

@RockmanBionics: He's magic. I have a luchadeer drawn, just don't know where to put it. . . well. . . I've got an idea but it'll be strange or difficult.

@RTSlord: I'm taken =(

@joshthebear: I honestly don't know him. Cept for that one video where they talked about site redesign. Maybe. . .

@forestofdeath: For the most part. I do dabble but I tend to dabble in a lot of things. Lately though, I've been working w/em a lot on a secret project -______-

@sungahymn: Thanks!

Just a suggestion though, you're losing a lot of the contrast you had before you added the new background. If you want to stick with a city theme, try framing the crew in something lighter

@49th: Thanks =)

@Fascismo: I'm so happy someone recognized who it is -_-;; Yea, I hear you on the contrast. For now I just threw them on a street so that I could draw some white pants. . . A city scene sounds alright for now but I want it to be something a bit meaningful so I may end up ripping out a locale from a game or something. . . iono. Possibly Deadly premonition? I could always lighten the blacktop some since right now it IS pretty damn dark. . . Though if I need to go any lighter, I'll prob have to remove then from blacktop altogether and think of something else. Thanks for the C&C!
