CloseHaven't posted stuffs in a while, so I'll place these here.
A background I made for my friend. I hope she doesn't see this yet as I'm supposed to give it to her in a few days. Was trying out a Magical Starsign type of style with this.
Some Azulea chipset work. The tree is old but that I didn't really feel like redoing.
Character sprites for Azulea.
Testing an animation
Watercolor still life
Mockup
A Halloween themed scene, also the biggest sprite I've ever made.
And an Amelia sprite.
Complete with a video on the process of making it:

Your stuff is lovely but you need to work on your bigger sprites. That biggest one looks very stiff and copy/pasted in the scene. I say copy/pasted because none of the background's shadows and lighting seem to have any effect on her. The night would probably tint her skin bluish in some places and the pumpkin would make it yellow to redish (assuming the pumpkin is a light source).
Oh, and Amelia is going to topple over any minute now.
Otherwise, I really admire you for your tilesets. They're incredibly well done and are some of the best custom sets out there! :D

Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah, the Shikieiki one I didn't have a background planned for it. I'll try fixing it later. I still have problems with drawing people, I suspect a lack of any recent practice there is the issue. I'll have to practice more.
Tilesets are fun, I love 16x16 tiles. I wish RMVX/RMXP used 16x16 tiles, it'd make my life easier and be more fun for me to do!

Personally, when I feel I need to improve on something (for example the shape of the upper arms or anything really) I just look at other people's art, see what they draw similarly/differently and try to figure out what works best for me. Some of the tutorials on DA can be very detailed and useful, too. Aaand practice follows, of course. :D
You still work them 256 colors to the core. And who knows, maybe next RM? :D

The azulea character sprites are probably my favourite of the bunch. I just love tiny little character graphics- when done right (like these) they can convey so much emotion in so little detail/space. Well done, Ocean.

I always thought you were a pretty good spriter but what you really HAVE TO WORK with are your colouring scheme.
Do you have more than one single palette, because everything you do looks EXACTLY the same - the same tone of gray to purple, the same chicks with the same haircuts and samey colours of everything. Now, I'm not saying having a particular style or working with a coherent theme is bad but man, I really can't ever see the difference. And I (THINK; if I'm wrong then this is just a "what if-" scenario) I've even seen some starts of collaborative works, whereas it was you and some other spriter working together - this however, is impossible due to your very specific preferences.
Don't mean to be an asshole but this is basically what I think everytime I see your stuff. This was also a problem in the tutorials you held at GW; now, suddenly people with no spriting abilities at all were basically making shittier versions of your stuff, with you exact colour-scheme and made EVERYTHING look even MORE the same (and also really, really bad). I mean, it was a great initiative and all, but for it you COULD have settled for a more "generic" colouring scheme, actually remotely compatible with any other graphical sources on the net, besides your own.
ALSO; the tree looks fine... a little flat, but good nonetheless

Nemo, your comment makes no sense to me. It looks like a rant that's very badly disguised as constructive criticism.
I think my main problem with the work is that you seem to have trouble spatially. It looks fine when it's a straight, flat surface but when you add in the dynamics you get into trouble.
Keep some perspective references around, I suggest.
And yeah, you need to work on anatomy.
As for what Nemo said...I do kind of agree with him in one sense. The colors are very stylized and you do consistently use them. It would be nice to see differing approaches to the subject matter. I don't think it warrants the massive heap of negativity, though.

The palettes are different each time, I don't use a standard palette unless it's something for the same project. They're pretty much all bright and colorful though, and that's my preference. I could play around with color usage more though. I think it's more that I instinctively go to similar color hues when I'm thinking of something.
For the big character sprites, the skin color is the same though. I'll be changing that.
I know what you're saying though, so yeah I'll see what I can do. And don't worry, I'm all up for criticism, I know I still have a lot to improve on.

I tend not to do collaborative works, but that doesn't mean I'll ignore the style they're going for when I make some works for them.

Starting an old Japanese style house, I will add more tiles so I can make various types later.
A kitchen
These 2 are based on the Bahamut Lagoon battle characters. I've always wanted to give the style a try.
The bottom one would not look out of place in formation next to Byuu.
(Bahamut Lagoon is so much <3)

Thanks!
I love Bahamut Lagoon, I tried in the past to make a game like it but with no success (back in the Rm2k days...). Maybe one day!
I also need to learn how to do the big Alexander in battle sprites, those were really well done.

A simple sky, there was more to this image but I'm not gonna show it as it was commissioned.
Moar BL style
Amelia from Paradise Blue!
A background since I didn't really want to use the Bahamut Lagoon rips straight even just for the mockup.
And the mockup. Menu was stolen from BL because of laziness.
the bahamut lagoon style knight is amazing. and that background is pro-grade- the grass looks perfect.
how detailed is the animation in your battlers?

oh god why is this just a mockup!?
keep in mind- i fucking love your other stuff (ie gams), but i think this bahamut lagoon stuff completely blows just about everything you've ever done out of the water. and that's saying something since your games are incredible.

Yeah, those sprites are really nice! Your pixel work is pretty ace :)
And i think your colouring scheme is good, it shows you have a style, but you do have to be able to work with different kinds of colour schemes(well obviously you don't have to do anything, but...it helps) - like the full shot of the person, she looks like she's somewhere well lit up rather than a dark forest.
Though i'm not one to talk about lighting.

Don't want to add any more projects than what I already have, but yeah I like the style. I wanted to make a Bahamut Lagoon style game in the past, though. I just mainly wanted to try out the style.

Yeah I know, the palette I used for that one was meant for a white background, I just added on a dark background later. Should have changed the colors to go with it though.
