Making a Fletcher Starbound mod, need help at Pixel Art !

(Eox) #1

So yeah, I decided to make one constructive thing in my life. I recently learned how to make mods in another video game named Starbound, and I had an idea : how about a Mod where you can be Fletcher for Dirty Bomb ? Being able to equip Fletcher’s outfit, throwing sticky bombs at people… Awesome right ? The only problem : I can’t manage to make a decent enough pixel art.

So I am requesting a bit of help for Pixel art. Can someone help me to create the fixel arts of the following weapons ?

  • Empire-9
    - Ahnuhld-12 (I think I managed to make this one)
  • Blishlok

I should be fine for pixel arting anything else. :slight_smile:

Thanks for your help guys. :slight_smile:

Pixel artist, here ^.^ Give me the details (such as resolution) for each one, and I’ll give it a bash for yah.

Thanks @Faraleth :slight_smile:

I am not sure about the resolution you should use, because Starbound is a pretty funky game to mod up when it’s about skins. Pistols in starbound seems to be something like 15 pixels lenght, but there’s no way you could fit an Empire-9 in a 15px square.

I’ll base myself on my first test, trying to make a Blishlok pixel art : do it in a 3010 square, but don’t hesitate to change the resolution if it can make it look better. My first attempt at trying to make the Blishlok ended with a 3111 image size. Maybe avoid going above 45px in lenght and 20px in height. I’ll then try the skin in game and see if we can go for a bigger image.

The weapon should look like it was shown from the side, pointing to the right.

Here’s something handy : concept arts of each weapons ! :slight_smile:

In addition, make sure that the background is transparent. If you can’t, well I’ll try to do it by myself so don’t worry too much. Of course if you find this fun, don’t hesitate to make more weapon pixel arts. Maybe I’ll be able to create a big “Dirty Bomb mod” for Starbound. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thoughts on the Blish?

I will do the other two if you like it, or can make changes to it if you desire. :slight_smile: Just tag me with the @ again if you reply :stuck_out_tongue:

PS. Can make the background transparent when I send the final ones! ^.^

…I can also flip the image if it needs to be the other way around! XD

@Faraleth : This looks like a nice sprite for sure. We may be able to create a more detailed version, but I have to try it first. :stuck_out_tongue:

Try to make the sprite transparent, and tomorrow I’ll try it as a mod to check if everything is fine. :slight_smile:

I worked around with Starbound modding quite a bit many months ago, never really got into making weapons(Made an awesome ship mod that pretty much revolutionized how people made ships), but I think some of that knowledge carries over. Let me know if you get stuck on a bit of code, I might be able to debug it!
