A simple sig involving this? "Stabbing Westward" on it. If you find time. :P -Zim PS: It's a good thing you're doing for people. :wink:

If you're talking about the link, it's legit. -Zim

Lighting my friend, lighting. The values are there, but the lighting tones are not. The hair, I dunno. Not sure what it looks like in LOTR. -Zim

Mad props for originality. 9\10. -Zim

Enjoy it, good to see some holiday cheer. I gave away about 200k in Beginner's gear yesterday. That's a lot of Full Irons, Ruby Ammies, and 10k 's to a lot of new players, haha. It took a while. 100% were grateful though. The most touching thing was when one of them gave 1k to 10 of his friends in front of me, leaving none for himself. :wink: They all said thanks to him, and he later thanked me because he couldn't afford to get them presents otherwise. Life lessons, people, life lessons. -Zim PS: Sword-Shot, Think you should know, you are now the proud owner of the sig that started the entire pixel fad along with Lan Hikari's LOTR sig.

Traxion: Anything you like to draw in particular? If not you're going to get a flower. It takes a real man to color a flower. Zerg: There's you a helmet to color. Don't lose it's 3D shape in the shading. Shading and lineart should compliment each other. :D -Zim

Yes, please continue oiler. Zerg, and Traxion I'll get you both some linearts in a sec. :D

G'night Zerg! J_Rod: Thanks for nice words. As for advice...Hm... -Don't pillow shade or use gradients. -Detail is key in pixels -Take your time on the lineart! -Don't use stock colors(Except black and white) -Don't rip work, reference pics are ok!( No tracing!) -Practice, practice, practice -Creativity!! Sword-shot: Thanks loads! My pc is d-e-a-d. I don't think I ever sold the first one, all you have to do is give at least 50k to a random player ( post a pic on general if you'd like) You can take the URL and erase "zim" now, but I'm trusting you to pay it forward! -Zim

Heh. Oiler: Very nice mimic of my style. Takes skill to adapt someone else's pallete like that. Here's what I've got so far, about the same amount haha. Zerg: The lineart on that one isn't bad, but the shading is gradient... And.. It maks the helmet look flat. :wink: Erase the colors, add some detail to the helmet(only) and shade it with some depth. Spend a lot of time on a small thing like the helmet instead of the whole sig. Zep: It better not be bieng used by anyone else! :twisted: Report them if you've seen it. I don't think anyone else has permission. 8) Post it on general. See if we can get some others to be generous this holiday season, too. -Zim

All I have to go by is what you give me, and if you say you can do better shading now ( NO MORE PILLOW SHADING ) then maybe you can give me another example. One that displays improvement from the earlier ones. -Zim

Alrighty :D -Zim

I love Weeble n bob! Very nice job there, Azvi. -Zim

'Props -Zim PS:You got your own style .You don't need to bank off "Pixel art". Start something new! 8)

Wow, lots of responses last night. :D Cool Banana: Great to see you're still going strong, much love! I was there when you got started ( Actually, I was there when everone started ['Cept Lan]) Cheers, I am actually a fan of your lineart. Jep: Hey hey! Good to see the people's pixeler still goin', haha. Although everyone revere's your insane dedication to shading I'm still astounded by your creativity (something this board could use). I hadn't seen some of your newer pieces, but they are just as original and stylish as the rest. Anyways, good to see you again. PS: Is DementedHero still making those sexy, funky, abstract, brushing sigs? Led-Zeppelin: 50k would be plenty, I think I want it going to someone random and poor in RS. Just pick some one out and give it. I trust ya, the sig's yours. Pay it forward! Oze, Lowgravity, 2pac, Ran: Possibly post some of your work as well? 2pac, I've seen your wallpaper(s) but it's hard to tell bieng a completely different style. Have you got any other works? Avis? Or I'll await your sig. Just a display of skills, Lineart or coloring. Ran: I like your style, but it's hard to tell. You obviously have an eye for drawing, possibly crank out some linearts for me to color? That might work. :P Entangle: Keep that kind of stuff to yourself. You don't know when you'll hurt someone's feelings. Everyone else: Prices won't be ungodly unless what you ask for is ungodly! :P I'm sure I could try to offer some high quality sigs at decent prices for the commonfolk, I'm not in a desperate need for money. Thanks all for encouragement, I hope to bring some creativity to this board!! MONOTONY IS BAD. Much love, -Zim

I don't work for profit yet, but if you donate a bit of money to charity you may have it. :D I shall think of a worthy place for it to go if you'd like. -Zim

Not bad, I'm curious what prog you used? Possibly a bit more shading? :wink: -Zim

If you'd like some easy practice, you could color one of those linearts or I could make another right quick. :wink: -Zim

I shall consider, those last two are 10x better. -Zim.

Graphics Gale. Zerg: Colors too bright and contrasting. Got anything less ceizure(sp?) causing :D ? -Zim.

If you think you're exceptional, post some of your work. :) -Zim.

Yours are nice, but yes I only use Paint or GG. If you have some skills in that department I'd sure consider. -Zim.

WINNER CHOSEN! See pg 12!

I withdraw. Too boring. :? -Zim

Here's a preview and a breakdown: You're chopping at a movie set with trees. The cameraman is saying "Call the Asylum" The director is saying " Does she know they're fake?" and the actress (Littke red riding hood) is standing there shocked. The main text will read " Chop Happy " and your name on the other corner. Of course it's not finished. The place where you and the hatchet will go is outlined in yellow and red respectively. The "real" background will be more shaded etc. that the intentionally plain movie set. *Breathes* :D Yay?\Nay? -Z

Thanks, I was curious. At this rate I'll crank one out tonight. Unique idea, I don't know how much realism I'll put in, but it's nifty. :wink: -Z
