dark_shadow

i meant an animated pixel.. i do say, 30 slides in ms paint, altering each slightly, then take it into animation shop 2 and simply add the slides and save it as a gif, and its animated. its all completly and 100% pixelled, with lots and lots of slides. i need to know ASAP if i can do this, cause itll take all my time to do it.

no one answered before... so ill ask again.. i REALLY need to know before i start! can i do an animation, with a lot of slides?

:cry: i didnt know i was that unliked :cry: :( :)

so this just has to be our interpretation of energy? and it can be animated? is there a max number of slides, cause ive thought of a fantastic idea that i could do, but itll have quite a few slides... is that ok? ill have to start tomorrow, cooking some food stuffs atm for church, then gotta leave at 4:15pm (2:54 atm)

yeah, your edits help ppl terley :) at least, they help me when im just browsing through random threads lol :lol: ontopic; the ruby coloured thing joining the straps across the chest looks weird, how youve seperated it into the three equal parts, is it going to stay like that? the arm-pits seem too high up, and the shoulders should be a lil more rounded IMO the nose is also a bit.. weird... and as said before, lacks depth atm but im sure youll fix that :) gl with finishing it, should be quite a big task! im already sick of that medium-big sized xmas pixel i started.. ugh

goodluck to both of you, terley and runemetsa, for the first round! and to everyone else i suppose.... :D

yay :P

lay off it guys, what is this place now, a slaughter house? Lord_Gromit just tried a sig. simple. its a tonne better than a lot of the stuff thats on here now, that can get comments such as 'awesome, perfect, 10/10". He dosnt have a program, like photoshop, and i can understand that cause its expensive. he probably never heard of GIMP and other free downloadable programs. he worked with what he had, and for the tools in paint, he did pretty well. paint is a program pretty much only used by pixellers (yeah yeah, like your fave pro's, MXM, terley and GS to name a few) as well as some fakers i suppose. no, its not used as a program for abstracts or similar sigs. so what if someone tried to use the program they had to make a sig? at least give the guy a chance and help him improve, instead of saying things like "i dont think you did anything", "you truly did nothing except a little copy and paste" and "you didnt do anything besides add a name". at least gromit tried to make his own sig, even if it didnt prove to be a 10/10 quality sig, instead of ripping one off someone else like so many others do. lately this forums been slipping a lot, you all seem like you want to slaughter any new people that come here and try sigs. we were ALL beginners, though we all seem to like to forget it. i remember i used to get flamed all the time when i joined the forum with my crappy pixels, that lacked shading, perspective and anatomy. i was one of the few that didnt turn away, yet you notice a lot of the new people comming on this particular forum now post a sig, gets flamed, and leaves. how is that helping them? GIVE THEM GOOD C/C and HELP them, dont flame and despise them, jeeze. im personally getting sick of this. done ranting now.

i made a very, very fast mini pixel tut that may be able to help you with linework a tiny bit. i dont know about others, but i learn by watching, so this is animated. not much text, and its a small scale pixel so you cant really see detail. but it outlines the basic steps in making a pixel. ill consider making a better tut, animated, at some stage.

yay someones using my avvy :D

glad i could somehow help :) congrats on starting, and finishing a great sig :D

thats alright :D currently 11:52, 15th of december here. currently waiting till midnight to see if my OP (overall position; australian, or more like it, QLD's system for ranking people to get into uni's) gets emailed to me at midnight. have a headache from the party.. was a youth group party, so the headache isnt related to the party itself. stupid wisdom teeth.

the flames obviously wern't done in paint... but im not going to glame you for that :D its pretty good, and you managed to get rid of the bg from the render (or was it taken from a render site with a pre-cut out render?) either way, its not too bad. generally good sigs, excluding pixel sigs, cant really be made in ms paint. id recommend dlding a free, legal program off the internet, cant remember their names at the moment, but you'd be able to blend the renders and do better things with the text.

i really like the border, and the fire is MUCH MUCH better IMO. cant honestly really see a differences between the two file types, though as MXM said, the bottom one seems slightly lighter, but not really noticible last but not least, if your still looking for some place to put the text, maybe you could do something like this? it kinda fits into the theme of the sig, isnt too obvious but isnt too discrete either.. eh, trying to help, failed miserably :oops: hope you dont mind me doing this.. also i just noticed something :shock: between the char's front of the shirt and the thigh, theres a white patch... is that.. supposed to be there? once again, as youve heard plenty of times, fantastic job :D

17hrs. but thats ok, i have to leave for a break up party soon. and your pixel is 50kb? wow. is it a png? and i'd better stop spamming this topic. and yeah i know. those americans are so slow, arnt they? :D

hey, didnt know you were from NZ Faelenof! north or south island? havnt been to the south yet, but i love the north island! if i didnt live in australia, id move to NZ :) now its been the 15th for... 15.5hrs oh terley.. if its 4am, how can it be 4hrs till the 15th for you? technically it must already be the 15th...? and beesafree, if i get an idea i like, ill finish it in a day if possible :D

*sigh* been the 15th of dec for over 13 hrs here now... gotta get used to the country-time delay one day :(

i personally use the line tool, and draw lots of little, straight lines to create curves then go back and delete sections that arnt curved enough and re-draw it with the line tool again. its neat if you join the lines correctly and keep the lines 1px thick

are pixel avvy's ok? will make a sig later (though im of course not the best abstract maker... :oops: ) ive started the pixel, will post in about 10mins edit: avvy is done! hope you like it :)

as before, its still awesome, lots of detail. two things i see wrong; the fire dosnt seem to move much, it seems like a dead straight unmoving line of fire, yet when you watch real fire it flickers, moves etc... yours dosnt :( that and i dont really like the font/its size/its position.. dunno what font you could use, what colour, size or position though -.- also.. last thing.. the lizards right back leg still looks rubbery and broken, cause of the way its joined to the leg... did you see how i thought it should look, on the pic i edited? (btw hope you dont mind me editing that? :-X ) nice job :)

Just as a comment, that sig request form is for abstract/grunge type sigs, not pixel. instead, just try listing the description of the characters involved, their actions, the background and any extra details

thanks for the comments :) im probably gonna be bad and slack off and just leave the perspective. i know its still wrong, but its 'close enough'; ive played with it for ages, if i keep trying to fix it ill get sick of this pixel and scrap it, and i dont wanna do that... as you can see i kinda did the sky, though might add an animated shooting star later, and i did one of the bins.. lol. this pixel is going to take forever :shock: ok, every time i do pixels and post on tip it, i seem to have 2 versions of the same pixel at some stage. so heres the two versions again. "A" has the original santa, sleigh and reindeers that i pixelled, "B" has a darkened, higher contrasted version of santa, the sleigh and the deer. which do you prefer, remembering its going to be a dark night? should i re do "B" and lessen the contrast of the colours? "A" "B"

fixed up all the perspectives, thanks for the sidewalk comment darrel, helped me figure out what the perspectives should actually look like :D still nowhere near finished the linework. ideas on how to effectivly merge the mountains with the back of the houses is appreciated!

i use the line tool (the 6th tool down on the left collumn of the toolbar in ms paint) and just do lots and lots of short little straight lines to produce my linework. i do curves, everything with this tool, keeps the linework neat, 1px thick, and its faster than doing it dot by dot. call me a cheater pixeller by doing this, but its not. all its doing is making use of ms paints features (which.. it kinda lacks :lol: )

i like the colour choice, purple ftw! nice work as usual random, and good to see you back. cant really comment, theres nothing really bad about it. hope ya finish it :) btw, feel free to not check the thread about pixel-battles... :-# )
