Well the barrel is a metal cilinder so, assumin the light is full frontal in this sig (as everything is shaded that way) i had to use that kind of shading plus a slim bright reflection line (i don't think a cannon like that, coming from dwarves, will be that clean to be all reflective). The body of the cannon is actualy flat in reality but that was kinda boring so i decided to create a bumped surface and i actualy like the effect cause if gives some 3d look to the cannon. About the shop i erm...forgot about that lol...gotta recover it... About the new rule i'm well aware of that...not that my lastest siggies are bloody at all however i gotta say your gory trend had spread so much that it was pretty obvious some parents were gonna complain about that (ppl complaint about everything so...). It's a pity cause you could still see a certain humor and not stressed atmosphere in your works. But rules are rules and we gotta follow them. and about your shop...sigh...i wanted it to reach the 30k views :) Good luck on next one then :)

Very nice work there. I like the simple concept with no bg,yet very well done. Only things you could change are the 2 inbox minipics that i'd fade a bit more and the hair. Imo they should look longer...but mainly the "tentacle" like brushing effext is 2 strong... great job however 9.5/10

Let's stay on topic... :evil:

Sorry i can't afford free sigs for the time they take. Plus you already have a sig ^^^^

BIG NEW:I'm probably opening a shop now my exams are over...a limited number of sigs for the highest bidders. That should provide reasonable delivery times and payback for me. Dealing with past requests for this week however...

Add a border...and since you have no sig..take away sample...save it with better quality (u have 30k to use...so just use them) and use yourself :) However taking (stealing?) a bg and adding some plain text isn't the top...still for a first sig i'd close both eyes :) 6/10

For me it costs 6-8 hours and some thousands mouse clicks. For buyers, since i don't have a shop and all are on pm requests...i normaly don't set a price but i get paid very well (1-2 mils range)

It's pretty final version...i'll add something maybe tomorrow... 2 tired now at 2 am... took 7 hours. Hope you like it. Edit: oh i also tried some antialiasing on the baby dragon tail that looked so blocky "natural". ..first try :) And ... i used 2 many colors maybe cause the standard photoshop PNG-24 was over the limits sigh...

Well let me explain this...what i call texture isn't a tool that will make your sig in 1 click. U still need to use them propely. They'r by the color palette...in the fill bar. U chose the fill options. And actualy the so called "textures" didn't even draw a pixel on my sig (but the rooftops but actualy they would have taken a sec in paint 2). As i wrote above i used the 1pxl net combined with other 2 layers. They both were hand made gradients from left dark areas to light ones, with different starting tones...so that in the whole street a little difference between a pixel and another would show. The "texture" was useful, with transparency, to open this or that layer, pixel by pixel. Again...i didn't click on the white bg and the whole street came out. There was a concept and some pretty boring work behind 2. And about the above guy. It's all made in paint but the explained stuff :) I see no point why this shouldn't be made in paint ^_^

Aight kool if I have time I'll download that Gale program. I like the less time concept, lol what if you had used Paint for your latest sigs. I guess I'm more of a completely-made-by-hand kind of pixeler where I don't use textures I don't make myself. Well u can also avoid textures if u don't like them. I'm not that big fan myself but i had that idea for the streets and i used the net texture to open some transparent holes in the layer :P And well u can make textures in Paint aswell...just make a pattern in a new file and then copy paste with the transparent box checked. It helps giving detail to stuff... :)

Thx bro ^_^

Sorry to bug about this subject but i realy need one that could work safely with imageshack hosted sigs. Thx ^_^

Well some of the feedback was well aimed...even if the first version i posted was still a WIP and i finished it a bit later... Some criticisms actualy go against what i consider my style and i don't want to get rid of it, so they'r still "politicaly correct" but i personaly don't consider them 2 much cause, imo and i might be wrong...that will change my style. However i like feedback...helps improving and every1 but OperationFl made correct posts, lucky me most of them loved it ^_^

Sorry i had been busy with university stuff and a pix work...howerver here i am... Sold the bottom left one to L337 and i'll work on the red one asap.... later ^_^

Not bad for an early try...however if there's something to point out i'd start with the guy. The console has a strong "3d" impostation while the poor guy looks very flat. More shading should be made and a full frontal view isn't what better matches the prospetcive setting u used. Plus his anatomy is pretty messed up...expecialy the arms. The head is 2 big and having the cap covering it saved you time but personaly isn't the top choice imo. The bg might need some work on disco theme...Nice cube logo even if...alone in the bg is pretty odd. Keep it up

Thx to every1 who posted here :D To MrX: You should try Gale cause it's mainly like paint, even if the drawing mechanics is pretty faster, and allows you to work with layers and with the rgb palette always open. U mainly get the same results in less time. It hasn't some particulary great features or at least none i know about pixel stuff, however it's faster than Paint once u get used to its interface. The only difference i found with paint, along with the above layers, is a little selection of "patterns". Using those i made the rooftops (easy) and together with masked layers i made the city streets. If u zoom in you can see they'r made by a 1 dark - 1 light pxl net. Well both dark and light pixel groups start with darker tone to the left and end with light tone to the right, with 1 brightness shift every 2 or 3. With paint that could have taken hours. With gale it took like 10 mins. For example... This took 6 hours. Your Mother's was made in paint and took some more time. (couple hours ? i don't remember exactely but for sure way more than 6 ^_^)

That's not bad...don't get me wrong, but it's more a painted drawing than a paint pixel drawing...U used the tools like u were drawing and colouring...not pixel by pixel. At least that's the look it has. If u want to do something pixel looking then work on the design and on the black line refining a bit more, try to make the head simmetric for example and give the chain scales a more accurate design. Still way better than the recent first tries i've seen by far so grats and keep it up.

I just read the opening message and since i'm falling asleep i didn't read any other but the last one, Grandma's. If i'm not wrong (hope i'm not else this message is a big laugh for you lol) he was just ironic on the "leaving media board" trend that grew up these days with the school restarting. I'd go with him about the originality of the thread titles, but i'd say it's also nice to say bye bye before leaving.... I think he's not leaving.

Good stuff as usual bro... And your prices are outrageously low !!! Ppl will come, just wait. Good luck and keep it on ^_^

About the eyes, i wanted only one to show...and the other get covered with the sun reflection on the lens.

Btw i don't get your post... DEMPZIE : .... *I hates yooo* *Throws rock* :P Well as the name in the sig says it's our friend :D

I'm not gonna put any stupid reflection on a sea observed from the distance and from a high position...

6 hours more or less

It's not a gradient (no PS for me) and it's not a straight color...lol... There's like 20 colors in the water, arranged like a gradient (1 step in brightness a time) but with messed up lines...whatever... Finished the city and worked a bit on the water.

This took it's time...Based on the real face... Removed the black border lines almost every where...i'll work on the city a bit later.... Made in Paint(almost everything) & Graphic Gale (rooftops and square/road texture work) FINAL (?)
