Tyrannosaurus - NES style

Published:

Description

To continue my "world project", I am messing up with game makers. Since I am all by myself on this particular axis for now, and my drawing skills are merely ok, I am working with NES graphics. If all else goes wrong, I blame the limitations of this 80s videogame style. Cunning AND lame (but I am an NES workshipper, so it works in all ways)

Well, as I mentioned, I don't draw very well. But I wanted to make a Tyranossaurus for the future games ecosystem, and took this as a chance to practice the convertion of a high detailed picture to a pixel art. I discovered that nothing never is simple...

The line art is based on the awesome sketches of :iconvanoxymore:, but...

As I worked my way on converting his picture, in more than one possible ways, I figured I had to redo most of the pixel re-drawing - specially because of the limited colors that lies on NES pallete. All looked twisted and, even if you could distinguish the tyranossaurus there, the picture was dirty and unpleasant to the eyes...

So, it took me 9 hours of swapping between Gimp and Paint Shop Pro 3.12-32 (yeah! Odd choice, I know!) to finish it.

EDIT::iconvanoxymore: gave me his word about it, and allowed me to use as long as I give him the deserved credit for what is his. So you shouldn't waste more time and click the icon on this paragraph - among some mean dinosaurs, he have beautiful pieces in there.

This "sprite" will be only used on freeware games inside the "world project". Not commercial games. Besides, no one would buy a 8-bits looking game anyway ;D


They are, from left to right:

TYRANOSSAURUS REX - King of dinossaurs, we all know him well. ;D

ATHOSAURUS - Ferocius as the king, perhaps not as mighty, but its white skin is completely impervious to magic of any kind. It can also spit a mucus that, once solid, becomes slippery as ice, but resistant as steel.

THANAKRINO - A rare beast, breed in ages of chaos to deliver mass death over those who shouldn't exist at all. Although was raised to devour undeads, golens and ghosts, it learned to eat anything. They are intelligent as humans, but only care about eating. Rare are the ones who still lives or dare to show their fangs around...
