a rendered copy and paste? :roll: its not a render. :wink:

Well allot of things to c/c but here goes nothing! StonedPriest - sorry i didnt get to finish the drawing as example but ill try to explain without it. The mountains are flat because there shaded in a sphere like shading but there not sphere-ish. When shading a mountain youll have to rely on ridges and rocky outcrops and perhaps trees to fill up, dont try mountains as a starter because there hard. The inside of the helm should be way darker. since theres not much of a scene (no offense) try putting all kinds of ornamentals on the helmet and practice with the shapes try making parts bend or broken ,i assure its the moste fun part in pixels. Clean up the black outlines there sort of sketchy try doing a sort of thinner line. Theres not allot of depth in it, at first i could tell if it was on a edge, to create depth use more contrast between colors and mountains dont really look or color like that there more brownise, ant hill like. Terley - its very nice only advise i can think of right now in the late night is to create more depth (once again contrast) at the front of the helm. Not only will that bring out the foreground more.. itll make it nifty 8) (the background is focal point bring it to the helm in the way i stated above) Nadril - loving the way you did the legs and shoes not to mention im loving the background to. :shock: pitty you could complete it, but there where its shaded its quite nice. only problem is something happend with the outlines.. atleast looks like it and the shading on the legs at the top left (for us) is great but on the other sides it seems a bit more flat then it should.. try using darker tones for shades. (cotrast, depth - im saying that allot..) Airmanmidget - i consider g-g to be more for coloring then drawing never knew paint has grid, and yes g-g is allot like paint. themanwitdaplan - ill comment later its late i dont have time to do everyones ChocoboT the shading is nice for something so simple, if only it where a little darker it would be very good. though the shading on the sword doesnt quite match it somehow, neither do the colors. Ausseh - try to use more colors and darker shades of contrast and try to set a light source to.. it almoste looks as if it wasnt shaded. thanks maxie Did that with your line-art Terley it was fun, but i was to lazy to finish it :P

Now hold on just a second! thats going to far, you have NO room to talk! calling this crap..? take a look at your own pixels. There other ways to help people rather then burning them to ground and pissing on them before you leave. he's asking for help.. i didnt see no sign saying "Hey im over here.. so if you have any torches and pitchforks feel free to come in here and kill my happyness!"

1. Any good pixel artist would do shading on paint, its easy when you get the hang of it though you just have to adapt the shading to your style.. Its tempting to do gradiant shading but trust me, DONT.. listen to what Quer says, he's one of the best. 2. Simply right click on a picture you want to colour in and press copy (CTRL+C), open paint and paste it (CTRL+V).. 3. The longer you spend on it the better it will probably be. Though through experience it will come more naturally to you so you wont have to spend ages on a pixel sig.. I personally spend max about 4 hours on a sig but some people take much longer.. If your thinking of drawing one out from scratch id advise ya to plan it out on paper and draw out the linework on paint, that wont take you long and then you can eventually start to colour it in. This is linework. needs clean lines so it looks better because its only a small picture, any small mistake in the linework is noticable.. Oh Quer, im leaving the shading tips to you.. Im still learnin :oops: That was quite good Terley and covers it :D though the program Graphics Gale (easy to look up at google, Free) will work just as well as paint only difference is that it will save you an hour of work with all the color selecting. the reason it does this is because the color system is user friendly and easy accesable (its next to your "drawing area" and you can take sample colors with right click. And it has layers.. but i dont use those anyway.. And im sure you mean DO instead of DONT, it says DONT listen to what quer says.. :shock: Ill comment on your shading later StonedPriest sorry for the inconvience, i want to use a drawing to explain but ive got a test in german.. bleh..

You are the noob that deserves to be exterminated! i swear i saw you holding a mirror when you said that.

1. helmet sort of looks out of place however that might of been because its the only part with a colored outline :wink: ' The Pectorials are executed nicely i must say and the part below it is nice to.. however below that (the abdomnials and such) it just seems like a round tube.. his crotch area seems rather flat, try putting a bump there with highlight and depth and such. you seem to have colored the top armor as it is one piece i ask myself how would you take it of? but since it is just a drawing it doesnt really matter if you change it or not. but well its supossed to be armor pads and leather protection clothing underneath it... (hence i always do that blue/black-ish clothing underneath the armor) the shield and weapon look to gradient-ish and i cant really say i like the color match 2. nice! very nice! its a bit bright but thats personal preference messing with ya. only advises are to do the outline color on the left side (to us) of the arm to create an element of overlaping.. it sort of blends with the the rest of the body. i love how you did the head and is just me or does he look.. less buff?i think it has something to do with the neck/head positioning. the leg pads seem connected.. wasnt the intention but well to all there own style :wink: the kneepads should be disconnected from the leg pads for freedom of movement. the rest of the flaws i see in there are my own...

I must say, ar those two the same piece :| lol, SUCH a difference. I may try this later, perhaps put it in a little minimalistic sig for practice :D Haha :lol: yes there the same lol ooohhh im looking forward to see your result :D Thanks allot Terley and themanwitdaplan i updated the first post with that stuff :D and please try to keep the discussion of this thread unless it has to do with this thread.

well.. you could fill the colors white and change the outlines to black.. to late to do it now, if need ill do it tomorow. o and yes i did that all pixel by pixel..

thank you :D

Welcome Ok well let me explain! The deal is simple; i've got some lineart here both old and semi-new, there right here for YOU! to practice your shading on. It has come to my attention in the past.. urh.. 11 months (ive been here for that long..) only few knew what exactly the deal is when it comes to shading. Let me explain that one; When you shade you dont just add more colors to make it perty or set it to a decent lightsource.. NO you add Depth and Shape to the image two similiar but very Important factors.. you dont whant to let your characters look like cardboards do you? So practice on these and post your results or any comments, me myself and i + perhaps other posters will give you c/c and advise. I will substain being helpfull and will not flame anyone if they behold there selfs to the rules of practice only (meaning no selling or using the sigs). You can btw call this a sort of part three of my pixel tutorials.. if you whant to start of with a white base of colors (but keep the lineart) or change the lineart to black outlines feel free to do so. Good luck 1.1 Practice 1.1 Results 1. Quer_Skull c/c: none 2.1 Practice 2.1 Results 1. Quer_Skull c/c: none 2. Quer_Skull c/c: none 3.1 Practice 3.1 Results 1. Quer_Skull c/c: none 2. Quer_Skull c/c: none 4.1 Practice 4.1 Results Quer_Skull c/c: none Practice without base colors! thank you for your help Terley and Themanwitdaplan 1.2 Practice Thank you Terley 1.2 Results Terley c/c: Well its hard to find something wrong with this one so ill go with the minor details. the outline on his skin seems a bit to light, sometimes when outline is to light or to dark compared to the obect it outlines, the lineart will become fuzzy. Theres dark spots around the text, they make the text harder to read.. Theres somesort of vulcano shaped darker spot on the cape.. it looks out of place and not really like something you see in a cape. 2.2 Practice by Terley 2.2 Results Terley c/c: well moste of my comments will be made upon the male character to the right. There simply isnt mcuh depth in his skin and pants it kind of makes him look like a cardboard.. however his chest doesnt suffer this problem. to creat depth use a higher contrast between colors (dont contrast to much or you will create a metal shine) + Darken the outline of the girls cooking .. uhh thingy the thing she has on. 3.2 Practice other version posted above at at "2.1 P" press Ctr+F and type that in to find it.[/img]

..godslayer made the lineart..

really? since when? :|

first thing=the lashes because i had to scroll down... second thing was the.. colory badly blended swirl in the eye... the third thing the guy.. the fourth thing was that that doesnt look like a real eye the color pop doesnt look realistic.. (i noticed it by look from the vains to the right to the eye..) so im now assuming you made it from the start.. o btw for the rest of you.. the guy of whom the eye belongs is scared for some-one/thing close to him.. hence the size of the pupil...im thinking texas chain saw massacre here

the beard in the wind is estetic, so it makes no difference if we change or not. in case anyone asks banana drew the sig and i colored.

i wonder if anyone ever heard of Miscellania .. you have your own kingdom.. you can can grow herbs and such.. not sure about carpentry.. but i think it will be part of crafting. if it will ever exist that is.

grammar aint everything.. or writing capabilitys.. neither did i do this to see how many people will miss me i did for a good bye to all my friends on this forum, i'd just feel bad if i'd just leave without saying anything regardless of the situation. and well im still active today but its only because of my curiousity.. this isnt blind love i'll tell you that but im not going to share any talk about that. well on this forum i can say stuff like "it sucks donkey.." while i dont think i'd ever do it in real life.. i dont really know why but i just get irritated easy after a long day at school (the time i get online) however lets all drop the love discussion.. its about the bye discussion. a well to all there sence of humor and fun :D

thank you :) and i portray myself as an a-hole regarding my responses on this forum, not sure how anyone else thinks about that. ill work on it a bit :)

i do. ill visit from time to time (like about once a week unless i got something finished earlier) that'll turn out into a fine sig smelly :D Visiting isn't quiting. I'm sorry that you want to go and all, but if you come back once a week then this thread is hardly necessary. I was gone for 3 months and made a post about that and I didn't even think that was necessary. You're better off just making this post relate to your image and mention that you won't be as active. yes ill only check pms tho.. i wont be posting.. thats what i meant.. well im only checking this post now. Keiphus dont repeat yourself, just because you dont care doesnt mean others dont. i dont whant this to turn into one of those flame threads, im just saying my good byes like a normal man/woman would do in a real life situation (gee i dont think leaving without telling anyone is a very nice thing to do, point taken?)

i do. ill visit from time to time (like about once a week unless i got something finished earlier) that'll turn out into a fine sig smelly :D

thats it.. i just quit. after 9+ months of tip.it ive had enough of it. ive had enough that i kind of get portrayed as an a-hole at times here, i just cant express myself here. now to tell you a bit about me; im a very secretive person USUALLY i keep my mind to my own, i hardly ever share my thoughts. To tell you the truth im a nice guy, ive never had a fight (either mouthing or fighting) in real life, some people find that odd, but its because of to factors; 1. i cant get mad at people because im apparantly to nice 2. im good at solving things without any arguements or fights. at real life that is. o and im a bit loco. but the real reason is ive fallen in love. im a man of the color red you see. ive fallen in love and i think this is it, she's crazy like me we have a very similiar background and i love her (not that any of you care) well since ive fallen deeply in love i just cant spend time behind a computer and feel happy about it, no i whant to improve my real life situation. so thats it, i quit. i will be checking back from time to time to either post a finished sig thats on my list or wall paper (that ill do after i finished my sig list) in case you havent checked, after my list i quit sig making to. so heres the good bye drawing, its a pre-sketch on a piece im working on and i just wanted to keep this media board related.

Muse Sunburn/hyper music regardless of my mood i love it.

Led Zep. Stairway to Heaven. Jimi Hendrix Hey Joe/Little Wing/All along the Watchtower etc etc. Stereophonics Dakota Joss Stone.. Super Duper Love (depending on my mood) Kasabian Club Foot/ Cut off Bob Marley Rasta man chant/no woman no cry Nirvana ..urh well pretty much allot of numbers Muse Sunburn/Stockholm Syndrome/Hyper Music/Bliss/Citizen Erazed. and many many more.

same for me.. i got from 84 to 52... but then again math is the ONLY subject i have trouble with... im just not good at it.

you seem the one ignorant and stubborn to me here. why in the name of pete cant you see that a flow of events get you into something, i my case Runescape was a large factor in that flow, period you cant tell me why I got into art because you simply know nothing about it , FACT! interacting with someone by any form of communication or whatsoever takes social skills. in RS i once a long time ago have learned how to deal with so called Scammers. Now because of that experience i have learned how to deal with a company that is trying to rip you off. You are so narrow minded that you fail to see that the factors in life that are important to you are not important to everybody else, not to mention that BlueTear is right. Actually your addicted to money :roll: where does money get you in the first place? sure a nice looking home and car.. woopt-e-doo its not as if youll be happy because you got a few pieces of paper with a number on it. Pitty your ego blurs YOUR vision.

Si, la mujer/nỉ̮̱̉a est poco de perspectỉ̮̩̉ve(sp?) ok its.. not my first language so give me a break... it btw says that the lady/girl is slightly out of perspective
