ok.. i managed to make a animated high quality pixel for the matching avvy! any comments?

that b y :lol: thanks.. ill save it onto my comp and reupload.. lol my comps been formatted so many times recently the file is long gone. ill edit the other post soon edit- prev post, end of page 3 updated with 1st 'pixel'

first (lol.. noones ever seen this but me :lol: :oops: shameful :oops: its taken a lot of courage for me to decide to post it... i was young(er) and a pure noob then (still kinda a noob lol) :oops: ) - Latest (completed) pixel - \ i personally think ive advanced just a lil bit

im hoping i do it right :oops: incase i mess it up, im going to just also do a non-animated one. but lets hope that dosnt happen :D :lol:

well... :oops: unlike the majority so far. #1 isnt my fave :S ill vote for #3... i just prefer that style the most, even tho i like # 2 as well. blue :lol:

ive got PS :D and the newest corel etc.. i do a lot of graphics stuff in them. edit a lot of pics, fix faults :wink: i sometimes get payed in rl for doing pics for other ppl in rl :wink:

update- took so long cause i was practicing on the sig in my 'sig space' lol... anyway. did some detail on the ground :S not much of an update.. but yeah.. and teenager- i usually use a lot of colours.. (and i dont use ALL of the colours shown there.. theyre just a kinda scale. i usually use only every 2nd or third shade in the row..) edit- forgot to post the pic :oops:

for starters... thanks for the comments.. :) This sig wasnt really sposed to be used as anything.. just as practice for the better animated one im working on.. this sig was only my second animation, and i wanted to make it simple.. even though its got 29 slides in it :roll: but my new wip is going to be very difficult /(for me, anyway...) and i figured i needed to get a better hang of animation first also - Every part of this sig was done in microsoft paint. the moon was pixelled. i just used quite a few shades of grey, and dithered it. it was not done with any gradient. if you like, copy it into paint, and zoom in on the moon x8 or x6. ull c wat i mean

changed mymint AGAIN.... changed it so it no longer looks like the drag is inhaling the flames again..

first post updated -

will update the post fairly soon with teh animated version (~30mins-1hr) cc welcome

ill probably end up sounding harsh but i dont mean to :wink: ok 1st- The rune guy looks like he is standing up - his head would almost be level with the main char. the proportion with the tree/main char/hills seems off... either the hill is very small, the tree is very small... or the chars are verry big. thats because the shading behind the main char is the wrong shape - it would follow the shape of the land, instead of being in a straight line... also.. with the right leg (our left) the yellow patch that goes over the knee is in the wrong spot.. the foot is facing forwards, so the knee guard/whatever should be centered.. The shading on the bg could be improved, and added to the tree. the coloud needs more detail as well.. you could also make the head less rounded, by removing some of the side pieces of the helmet, so that the sides of the helmet are straighter The detail on the main char and the rune guy is pretty good :wink: you might find it would look even better with slight dithering, or more colour shades. overall, its still a pretty good pixel :) like i said.. might seem like im being harsh, and if it does, sorry..

VERY nice work! :D im not going to rate it.... because im not too good at giving accurate ratings :lol: but its excellent :P only slight problem i can see... is that i know t'rex's have small forelimbs.. but they seem slightly too small.. however that might just be my imagination :) keep posting with updates/ the finished pic :wink: looking forward to seeing the finished version

ok.. thought id better do a simple pixel sig of a dragon, before i continue on the other wip... anyway here it is 2nd update- 3rd and final update. cc welcome for future sigs.. Changed my mind. 4th and NOW final update. slowed the final slide down, so thered a longer time when its not breathing fire...

i promise not to ruin it :D ill probably fill the 120 gig on my comp with the # of saved steps ill do etc... :lol: this will take a while... ive had a new idea for it - im gonna do a black dragon fly up in front of the cliff, right in front of the drag guy, get the drag to kinda snake its neck towards the drag guy, as if inspecting him, then 'suddenly' put its head up and breathe fire, before either flying off, or diving down again... any ideas on this, whether it would be good/bad? also... :oops: whats dithering? heard of it before... but not quite sure what it is :oops:

*i will keep updating this.. maybe not all that often, cause itll be hard to update posting every slide... lol :lol: This sig will be highly animated... the cape will flap in the wind etc ok the overall sig - the drag guy will be surveying a valley, full of either blue or black dragons, with lots of eggs/drag nests around... some dragons will be animated etc... heres the start of it. if everyone/most people dont think its a good idea, please let me kno and i wont bother :P *please note the cape is supposed to be fairly large/er than normal *edit- ive now also decided to make a dragon fly up in front of the cliff... for better detail read my post below :wink: *also... ill probably end up selling this when its done :D

ok. how do u get iso in paint?? ill c if i can somehow fix my building and ufo :( spent ages on it. i know what isometric is (cause i do graphics.. ) but i dunno how to get it in paint.......

ok.. youll probably think its too big, but it just looks it cause of the ufo..

ok. i recently started making pixels, entered quite a few comps... but so far ive lost all hope, because ive put a lot of effort into all of the sigs i made, and they havnt gone anywhere... anyway. this is most likely going to be my last pixel sig. only wip atm... its going to be a guy in full drag, walking down a red path thingo in a kind of palace, observing all of his riches.... possibly with servants around. thats all.. comments and cc appreciated, would like to make this sig my best... thats if i even have a best :? 2nd update.. a little detail added to legs...

thanks guys :wink: i shall just keep entering contests then , and hopefully improving :)

recently started to make pixel sigs and avvys... but im not sure whether people like my style, and what im doing wrong... anyway... some of these are premades for sale, or competition sigs...theres also some avvys... any cc would be appreciated :wink: premades Comp Sigs Avitars

ok... i need to do black vambraces... but i have no idea how to do them in a pixel sig :( if anyone can post an example, or help in some way, that would be greatly appreciated

this is my newest sig.. i also have a post in media market, cause im trying to sell it... but, noones bidding.. so i was wondering if there was something wrong with it? if so, plz reply, and any other tips would be appreciated :wink:

yeah i brushed it

this is the second sig ive made... this one is for a comp that i dont stand a chance at, so i thought id use it as a learning experience :P any tips would be appreciated... dark version light version
