Could it be because you were squinting? They say I look mad because I needed to narrow my eyes to see. lol

My legs got tangled up on my bag's straps when I got up to move out of the way for a girl getting to her locker. I stumbled towards the other side of hallway and slammed my face on the wall. XD Bent my glasses frame but the lens weren't broken, thank goodness.

Depending on the size and if there are anything else on the table like fries, olives, pickles and Coke then the most I can eat is 4. Usually the pieces are quite large so they're cut down to size, maybe 1/3 off. I have a rather large family (as in numbers) so we often buy 4 different pizzas. I try to eat all four to get a taste for all flavours : D

Ah, dragon expert : ) How is the wing and neck now? Personally, I think the final version of his head is more accurate. The other two versions had his head looking away from the dragon. :-k hmm, the dragon's head is also inaccurate....Well, I gotta fix that too! lol Thanks

Everyone in my family wears glasses. : / Personally, getting glasses or the effects of wearing them is nothing. People only remarked how different I looked at the beginning. Whether they meant it as good or bad, who cares, as long as I can see. :XD: But yes, wearing glasses will have drawbacks like being active in sports. You'll have to wear contacts (sp?) instead. Wearing glasses is partly a fashion statement too (not to say that people where them because it looks good). Their choice of frame style will affect others' judgment on them like how clothing does. My glasses frame are pretty casual, nothing that would jump out at people's attention. Anyways, I have not run into any glasses-wearing discrimination but only disadvantages and personal fears (breaking them, losing them, and etc.)

Have fun with the new tablet : ) We'll be expecting some paintings out of you :

How do you use colours like that :XD: Loving the quote "ROFL this is crap! Why is it all pixelated?" Awesome comic!

The magical pen is like a brush to a painter (minus the magical canvas). : p I agree with what you suggested for the orc and it is why I took a long break before coming back to it. Okay, not really. I lost the file to that painting like many others so now I have to start over again!! Not a big a deal since I'm a little more confident with musculature now. And yes, red and green is horrid! Comes summer, I'm redoing that picture! Thank you for the suggestions PJ! \ edit: If you notice in the newer piece, I've lighten up the shading to avoid boxy looking muscle like in the orc.

Great start! The lighting and shading are consistent throughout the piece. The next step is put on some weight. :thumbsup: ..... :-s Give his clothing some creases and folds around the body. Add in solid shades (without feathering) to bring out the form a little more. Experiment with ambient lightings. A good practice is to colour the background first. The colour of the sky (light source) dictates the colour mixture of the shades and lightings. Give it a try : D

...........I just like traditional stuff.... :cry: Well, pixels on canvas isn't really traditional like oil on canvas but you know what I mean. :XD:

I did a major colour overhaul today. Made everything darker and pretty much brushed out the body section to start over again. :lol: With the darken colours, it'll be easier to paint (for me) and glowing magic thingy-ma-bob will look cooler. :roll: Polished it up a little on this update but the .jpg quality is a little iffy. XD It is quicker than painting it but changing the hue will affect other hues as well especially in the shades and lightings. They're not always a dark green or light green but could be a mixture of blue or yellow and etc...You probably know how to change it properly but for me, I'm not very techy with photoshop :XD: Brush and eraser = :thumbup: It will be that character with several others.......on the ground........ :uhh: The blood and gore was/is my brother's idea! Is it less now? Thank you for all your suggestions! :

No problem : ) I'll try to remember imageshack next time. : D I made that pixel like how I would paint a picture by focusing mostly on the colours; most noticeably in the sky, water and grass. I'm currently working on a digital painting of a wolf rider. It's one of those bigger paintings that I am attempting. For something like this, I tend not to complete it...lol :XD:

Thanks : D For a speed painting, I try not to go over an hour. I finally have the time to do some "serious" :anxious: art working besides school or my job. Anyways, here's a signature of a person looking across runescape's horizon. It's a signature request by satenza back in *ahem* December 6th :XD: #-o but you know, it is worth the wait :P Well thats a relief! : lol :anxious: Thank you for all your comments! I will post the finished piece later tonight. In the meantime, here's a little pixel drawing of a girl and her pet dragon for Pink. : ) I switched the image host from photobucket to imageshack for those who can't view it.

Agreed. The worse is walking behind a smoker with the wind blowing it in your face. I either skip ahead or hold my breath if I can't pass by. :-# The number of people smoking around my school did cut down after the law was enforced here in Canada. A noticeable change; thank goodness. :D But still :uhh:

My hair is much much longer than that :XD:

In no particular order : O [hide] Pixel Jack Digital Painting - Dragon Armor Concept Digital Painting - Wolverine Portraiture Practice Sketch - erg, a warrior bull? Digital Painting - unfinished (Runescape wilderness) I have several others but they're in a different computer : / [/hide] Hey tttia!

Gallery update! Wish it was something bigger but theres simply no time. I needed to relief some stress yah know... :twisted: :shock: So I whipped something up : ) Hopefully the next update will be better >.< See you later!

Most prized item is my full adammite armor that I kept for 3 years. I wish we could engrave our names on it - that would be cool :D

Wolf san in game - cbt level 68 I think while my main account is 83. Started playing RS in grade 9 but my activeness in runescape began to decline in grade 11 even to the point where it came to a complete halt for several months. I still hop on for parties and holiday specials though. : ) Started playing regularly at night but that didnt last very long... #-o Mining and smithing were my favourite skills but due to the lack of time, combat training on wolfie became dominant. Most of the time though, I like to talk to friends and hang out. But it seems like time has plucked them out of existence in RS as it did to me...I hardly see them anymore. :cry: The only strong connection is art + runescape I like to exaggerate as in detailing the simple graphics - like painting a rock or an empty canvas...Bleh, I just like making art in general : D \ I hardly post in forums or even active for that matter. *shrugs*

Congrates mxm! Another great gallery collection : ) =D>

Mad bids! lol Two of my brothers left early this morning to a shop that's located in the middle of no where, hoping that no one else knows about it. I highly doubt they'll get one or even 2 since that was their plan. >.< Most people I think, are buying them and then selling them afterwards. lol :anxious:

Yes I did but I dont know where it is :? That one was not completed either if I recall correctly. In total, there are 4 different versions of J.Sparrow (none were completed); 3 of which were digi-painted with photoshop and 1 pixel. JS obsessed if you didnt know :anxious:

Exactly what terley said. From my personal experience, I find that there's very little advantage using a tablet pen. The time it takes to create a pixel art is the same with or without an 'expensive or cheap' tablet. It all comes down to having patience and time because the majority of it, is a pixel by pixel process. :ohnoes: Anyways... Terley has a good step by step example right there - scribbles to final product. For me however, I like my outlines nice and clean. The tools I generally use are the line and curve tool. Hardly, do I ever use the pencil to scribble an idea (unless, I'm in a rush). Another way to get a clean outline (in which some professional pixellers have done) is to trace over a scanned picture of your initial sketches. This will work quite well if your program have layers. Last but not least, having a good knowledge and experiences in traditional drawing will contribute greatly into your pixel art. I always say that...

The digital paintings were painted in photoshop with the aid of my beloved tablet pen. All pixel arts including the jack sparrow were made in microsoft paint and with a little constrast/brightness adjustments in micrsoft office picture manager. So yes, it was painted/drawn pixel by pixel. P.S. Passion drives patience : ) ...i think
