IA pixel project

By Girlbrush, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Hey! Thought I'd share a personal project related to Imperial Assault. The idea is to make an army builder in Unity to use when playing Skirmish with friends. Started making pixel portraits of the characters bc it would be fun(and dumb! So many characters!) to use original assets, so here's the ones started so far!
Some blocked, some that have gotten several passes and Luke that looks like Martha Stewart. :)

Very, very cool.

great work man, im also an Illustrator/Animator. Thought about collaborating on a similar type of idea. being trying to get in contact with some of the creators of Apps to see if they need designs for their Builders or Apps

Saboteur needs a bit of shadow or highlight to break up his clothes they are looking a bit flat

Great. :D

Now you made me think that I need to make a special version of the Vassal Campaign module with these... I would probably need the wounded versions of the heroes as well. :D

That's *really cool. Verena has an appropriate amount of "manface" and Gideon looks like a grumpy old man

These are awesome

Kayn's gun could do with some shading though. Just looks like a grey gun shaped blob at the moment

Very cool and well done. At first glance, I thought Biv was a guitarist rocking out.

Keytar, and that's still awesome ;)

Thanks guys! Work is going slowly forward. The usual process, as seen below, goes from blocking out a character to iterating over it a couple of times. There's definitely more effective ways to work(and with Fantasy Flight's release schedule it's a race against time x)) but since it's a home project it's okay. Super grateful for your feedback and kind words! :) Great help!

Do it! :D Always more fun with a custom, cool-looking builder! (at least Illustrators think so :D)

Great. :D

Cool :D Will have to google this Vassal module thing. ;) *noob*

yeah, been in contact, but noone has responded. I don't really have any coding skills for Apps

These are pretty awesome. Most of them are "pointing" to the right, is that intentional?

Nexu's eyes need to be a little closer to center, IMHO.

Way awesome.

These are really cool :)

I'm a pixel artist myself, I think you can get a lot of advice and attention at pixeljoint.com the biggest pixel art site :)

Its my wallpaper at the moment :) you thought about making comics with these characters ?
