Game Art / Re: Not sure where to put this post!

I understand what the OP wants but there is a lack of information.

How do you want the ripple to be like? An example would be nice.

Is there a specific color palette that the artist has to use?

I know it is rather boring to look at but it's best that I learn from the basics before I jump the gun again. 

@Blob

Is there a way to get those NES/SNES palettes?

Woops, I just noticed. Thanks for pointing it out, I fixed it.

Yes, I am aware that the literal sprite use less as you said, but I went with more because of the character's design (it's Hatsune Miku of Vocaloid). Thankfully, the number of color is still low compared to my Konata sprite.

@intimate

Thank you for liking my Konata sprite. Even though I can use any color that I wish, I think what Blob meant to say is that I have been using too many and he is right. If you look at the sprite with the magnifier tool, you can see that it's a pixelated cluster-mess. 

@Blob

No one has given me any techniques so far, am I missing something? I think intimate just gave his opinion.

Anyways, lesson learned, I decided to take a few steps back and start at an even smaller scale. I made a small NES sprite with only a few colors. Sprite based on Final Fantasy.

@SWATLLAMA

Thank you very much. Thankfully, my style does not limit to only "anime"/"manga". I also enjoy drawing realism from time to time. I hope to expand even more with practice and observation.

Thank you so much, this article sure is teaching me a whole lot.

I have a few questions:

1. Is anti-aliasing really necessary when making small sprites/backgrounds for games?

2. When is anti-aliasing really needed?

3. How does one make a good palette?

Greetings to the Stencyl Community,

My name is Stephanie and I am new to pixel art and pixel art animation. I registered so I can be able to improve my art by collecting information, advices & suggestions given be experienced artists.

Here is what I have made so far by reading pixel art tutorials.

Not the best, could be better but I had loads of fun drawing it.
