I think it kind of ruins your nice art work. I like the old one better. :)

Glad you like it. :D (Thanks for the compliments everyone.)

Thanks. :D Did he die or something. :o

Lol no... Well, if nobody gets what's happening, no point in trying to sell it. :( The golden line represents the level on the golden sign: 80. So basically he chopped everything up to the line to reach his goal. Even the guardian tree spirit. Yay for Wheaties.

stupid board made me double post... :oops:

Well, here's the completed project: The face is totally changeable...I realize some people might not like his expression, but as I said, easily changed. Anything else can be changed too. Me sleepy now.

I have a ton planned for this. I dunno if I'll wanna part with it for 500k. Heh. We'll see if the image in my head turns out well on the sig. Just got off work, now back to work...on the sig. ;)

By the way, here it is without the blood thing: No blood, no gore. ;)

I'm in. :D Got your guy drawn and a concept I think you'll like.

I may try... I have a hectic work schedule that starts in 4 hours. So I may not have time. I'll let you know.

Very good. Proportions are right, in a comic-book-y way. Looks great other than the coloring. And his right hand (our left) is a bit odd. Keep up the good work.

Less yack, more BIDS.

Minernav, you know there's someone at RHQ who is really into graffiti (irl)... His name is 0ptimus now...I don't know if he wants his old name out...so just PM 0ptimus at RHQ. I've seen some of his work, and it's beautiful. PS: That's a zero. (Zero)ptimus

Okay, so you want to improve. I'm gonna tell you what "*@#**((I))**#@*" think should be improved. The clouds: It's kind of difficult to see the clouds. Add some highlights accentuating the clouds' form. Also, don't be afraid to separate them. The lightning: It's a bit bland. Try adding white at some point of them to really show the electricity. Also, there's too much lightning. The mountains: They're there. That's about all I can say. Try to add something to them to accent them. Make a large boulder...or an animal standing on the slope. They're kind of boring right now. The ground: See above. Though I do like how you put the ladder. ;) The lava: Too many bubbles. :P The rune rock: It looks soft. Make it jagged, to make it seem more rigid. The people: Their arms are a bit freakishly long, but it's not too bad. You have good poses, I see a lot of people with their arms sticking straight out and down. The spider: Looks good. Heh. Overall: You're good, you just need to pay attention to smaller details to bring the sig fully alive. Keep it up. :)

His hair does have blue in it...for the sheen. After all, who has flat black hair? If you want to buy it...I may reconsider. (Thanks for the compliments everyone.)

Is it me or did you blatantly rip off TJ's flowers? Because they look dead on. o_O Looks good. Part of being able to make a pixel sig is being able to fill it in with your own idea. Just keep thinking about it. It will come to you.

Number one followed directions. Number two looks better. It's up to the purchaser now. o_O

Well here's most of it, not 100% done, but very nearly. Gotta go do some stuff. Have a nice day.

Well, now because of your stupidity, (no bank or fellow fishers), I won't be finishing this for your competition. If you actually knew how to read, and had the smallest amount of reading comprehension, you would know that "Unfinished" means that not everything is done. I woke up, did some things around the house, and started working again... ...as you can see above or below... Oh well, sucks to be you. Also, The blood advisory was a separate layer added in photoshop, could have come off at any time.

Really tired. Got some finished. Have a ton more to add. Tomorrow...

Hehe, yes I did. I'm trying a layout for this competition. ;)

Male character or female? :?

TJ, I'm a huge fan. You're the reason I even wanted to try pixel sigs. But I don't like this new coloring trend. Lol, it sounds weird but...it's too smooth. It doesn't even look like pixel sigs anymore. When you get down to it, you're bordering on painting now...albeit digital painting, but painting nonetheless. And painting a picture is a hell of a lot harder than pixelling one. I'm not saying it's not great...you're a very talented man...but I just like the old works better. The sharp edges...the cartoony colors... But still, very great work, as always. :)

There's not really any way to tell you how to shade... You just have to try, and try again. I know it sounds redundant, but it really is the best advice. Good luck.

30 hours? I don't think so. Unless you're making it ultra-realistic.
