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 -_-;;

You should add Matthew Rorie riding a puppy. Also, Brad should have his pink hard hat on... you know, for protection and such.

@Fobwashed: I think Brad looks fine. If anything, the lowermost pixel of his jawline could maybe be brought up one? If you make his chin any smaller, he won't have one, but if you make his jawline a little more narrow, it might do the trick.

That said, these are all very good. You sound like you don't consider yourself to be very artistic (I may be wrong about this), but you've done a good job making everyone interesting and giving them character in pixel form. That's hard to do. Nice job,

Having maybe, John Drake or Brad Muir chasing them, along with Johnny V would be great.

I agree though, you should definitely add Alexis running along with the duders.

@Otzlowe: I'll try the Brad chin thing and thanks =)

@RTSlord: Any suggestions on references or how? I've heard em on bombcasts and such but rarely ever see em so no clue on what to do. . .

@ImmortalSaiyan: I'm happy he's recognizable =P Funny how that reference pic I was looking for was taken down.

@SotoSaki: @JJOR64: I need to find some references to know what this dude looks like. Is he just the backend guy? I've only seen him like once. He's not an intern is he?

@RichardNixon: I gave him the angry eye glasses but I think you're right. I'll try removing them and seeing if I can bring out his inner glow.

No Caption Provided

Added what I think is Alexis. Very few will prolly get why he's on that trike but them's the breaks since I don't really know him neither. Dude does appear to have a big head and a square jaw. I'll have to do some tuning.

Made a bunch of little changes

@Fobwashed: People have already said it, but you can shuffle through a mountain of images if you look up the crew on the GB wiki. I found tons for reference.

Also, I haven't read through the entire thread, so apologies if this has been asked. Are you just using photoshop for these, or something more geared towards low-rez sprite animation? I'm working on a personal project and I'm jumping into GraphicsGale for animating some 16-bit sprites.

Also, these are fantastic caricatures.

I have no idea how to draw mechs. I'll prolly slowly make edits to it over time. . . I feel like the perspective is way off as well.

Not really diggin the glasses and how they appear, I'll have to futz w/that as well.

@verysexypotato: Just photoshop. And thanks =D

I'm impressed with how much work you are doing for this. Have you thought about adding cool baby? Maybe he could be chilling in Vinny's crib drinking that liquor bottle of his. Or stumbling drunk, trying to keep up with everyone else.

Dude those are fantastic. If you're able to make a background for that then I'm sure the staff would be interested in selling that as a poster. Seriously, the amount of detail you put int each character is awesome!

Cool Baby running along while clasping a big liquor bottle sounds like a great idea.
