Pixel Art Brutallama's Brutal Pixels

I have a question: how, exactly, did you create the table used for all the sets? I'm thinking of putting a similar one on my pixel art thread once I have the appropriate amount of sprites.

Which one? (there's at least 2)

Oh, and I did these a while ago, but I forgot to upload them
Updated Guns.png
 
I mean the table that has an "armor" column, "sword," "staff" and so on.
If you're talking about the giant one at the very bottom, I just made a grid in photoshop (square first, then a row, then the whole grid; mostly through copy and paste:p)

I made it large enough to accommodate most of my sprites, but some of them are too big, and I have to find creative ways of making them fit, and still look good :confused:

Ah, thanks. I'll try something like that.
 
I've been meaning to address thos fpr a while, and I'll bet to it tomorrow when I have time

Also, to everyone who sees this, which one?

They all seem to be different. First is Meteor? Last is Molten (or Meteor, given that it uses the improved color)?
I personally think that #3 is the one you'd get if you melted down Meteor Armor, while #4 doesn't fit it at all (more Molten), #1 is similar to the one we have now and #2 appears to be the most raw meteor-y.

Hmm... that's a good question. The first one is definitely the closest to the original sprite, and the third one matches the meteorite equipment (while the second is somewhere in between)... I don't think the last one would work though, that one would make more sense to replace hellstone or be an entirety new ore.
 
Probably the first one, assuming this is all meant to be meteorite. Meteorite is described as being "warm to the touch" and the other three look way too hot. They all look really good, I'm just not sure the brighter ones work on a thematic level. Honestly, they'd make a good progression, like different 'tiers' of meteor that can fall depending on the game's difficulty, with the first one being the default, existing meteorite.
 
Thanks for the Quick feedback guys :happy: So far, I'm liking the second one best

I see your point :happy: It just always confused me that meteorite ore/bars were a brownish purple, and the armor and tools were more of a blue... :confused: I was mostly just experimenting a bit :p

Hmm... that's an interesting though... ;)

The third bar definitely looks like it goes with the color scheme of the tools and armor. Overall, I'd say the fourth one looks the least like Meteorite.
Meteorite currently changes color a lot - from a pinkish-red to a purple to a blue.

-Introduction-
(please read)

Note- Requests are currently on-hold, I have a lot to do, and I need to catch up

Greetings fellow Terrarians! My name is Brutallama. I am an established sprite artist from the old forums, many of you may know me, many of you may not. With the new forums, I've decided to Re-launch my sprite thread, as it had fallen into disuse.

With my new thread, many things will change. first of all, I will not take requests, but I will take suggestions. this means that you can suggest ideas, rather than specific things for me to create. If I find the idea interesting, challenging, fun, etc. I may decide to make it, or my interpretation of it.

Another thing that came up a lot was mods. I am currently the one and only spriter for the Thorium Mod. I do not intend to work on any other mods anytime soon. Any currently implemented items will be in the "Thorium Mod Stuff" section.

The Game Improvements section is where I will post re-skins of existing items and enemies in vanilla Terraria. They will all be added to a texture pack that is currently in development by @SzGamer227. When it is finished I will post a link to it here.

Finally; advise. A lot of beginning spriters came to me asking for help, and I'd love to give it! Also,
Balduran made a wonderful beginners guide to spriting here.

Without further ado... behold, the most brutal sprites on these forums!

The Thundrium and high king armor look amazing(and the others)
Can I have a watery armor set that looks like its made of waves?
 
Alright, get ready for a wall of text...

So, First off, I would like to address requests/suggestions. I don't like them; to be blunt. I Don't like the way they are done. I'm not good at them either. I mean, sometimes the end product is good, and the person is satisfied, but I really, really hate doing them...

Now, I've said this before, and I'm saying it again. I would infinitely prefer suggestions. This concept is a slight twist on requests. Rather than posting a picture and saying, "Make this!" I would prefer you do something similar to what several people have done here. In example...
Can I have a watery armor set that looks like its made of waves?
These are really great. As far as suggestions, I have a few general ideas of things that would be cool to see. Nothing I'd say I'm asking for, just some "what if" concepts to maybe give you some ideas. Hopefully, you don't feel like I'm swamping you. I realize that I'm casting a pretty wide net, but it's mostly meant to just be something you can, hopefully, take inspiration from.
  • It's always kind of bugged me that the gears don't make any equipment.
  • The Lizhard temple has a cool style, mixing ancient with futuristic, so what would a Lizhard set look like?
  • If you can make things out of ectoplasm, why not purely out of souls?
  • Where's the blacksmi- I mean alloys? We have all the ingredients for things like Steel, Brass, Electrum, etc...
  • Has the Travelling Merchant been skipping the Americas?
  • We have light disks. What would other holographic/hardlight stuff look like?
These two are good examples of more abstract suggestions. Ideas that intrigue me, things that I would want to make because I find them interesting. Most other suggestions just have... no appeal. It's not that I don't want to do them, I want to make you guys happy, but I just can't push myself to work on them. To be entirely honest, this was one of the factors that got me burned out. And I don't want to be there again, it wasn't fun. I would love to sprite all the time, and sprite what you guys want, but I just feel obligated to an uncomfortable extent when I receive so many suggestions.

Now, I'm going to attempt to the best of my ability to complete all received requests up to this point, but, as to whether I will accept more in the future, is another issue that is not yet decided...

Now I'll respond to some other comments like normal :p

Awesome! What are those bars?
Different versions of meteorite :happy: I was experimenting a bit

If I may ask, do any of these armors have the frames for them done?
Nope :p I've never really done many armor animations :confused:
