This is my second tutorial on making pixel images or sigs make of it whatever you whant. however this time i have learned allot more about shapes and actually shading stuff and having a meaning to everything. tip: dont do pixel sigs if you cant draw, well you can but USUALLY it wont turn out to great, the key to solving this problem is practice. drawing is not something you learn overnight took me 4 years to get where i am now and i have learned allot in the past 6 months. ill explain in basic steps. note that i drew it all by hand and scanned it in, that explains why all the first steps are large in size. this tutorial is for both advanced and starters. STEP 1Brainstorm: think what you whant in it like recognisitions, appearance, color scheme, poetic meanings, scheme itself, background. STEP 2 Draw a stick figure, remember the lines across the face show where hes look at. keep it simple so you can alter the pose if you dont like. tho you should know some basic atanomy. STEP 3 do some basic shapes around him to see if his body structure is good. STEP 4 draw his muscle on him, knowledge for atanomy will help allot. buy a book if needed or look on the net. STEP 5 draw his armor/clothes and all accesoires on him STEP 6 Draw a background around him, i did it on another paper tho.. sometimes its better to do it on the same. STEP 7 resize it all to the canvas you whant.. the sizes for these forums are 300x150x30kb if you whant to make it in a sig. and clean up up your lines. STEP 8 put on base colors to check out your color scheme. STEP 9 Shade the main character try shading everything with shape, if it looks flat its bad. STEP 10 shade his enviroment again using shapes, if its flat its bad.(dont bother my grass i hate doing grass it turns me off) STEP 11 tweak your sky (if you have one) a bit. STEP 12 color the outlines if you like, it usually makes it look more 3D STEP 13 you might have noticed i colored some stuff way to soft, so thats step 13. make whatever changes to fit your liking a bit. o and make a border (helps allot it really does) STEP 14 put on the text. STEP 15 this might be one of the moste important steps ASK FOR C/C (Costructive Critisme) ask whatever has to be changed to look better or feel better and then change it if (will not help unless you listen and actually tweak some stuff this was my final result.. note how its much better after the c/c and actually listening to it.. {special thanks to TJ for some awesome c/c} more to come. i think. well comments appreciated, if i skipped something or made mistakes tell me.. feel free to zoom in to check how i shaded. all was done in a pixel by pixel ratus if it was note done pixel by pixel it would NOT be a pixel sig. [EDIT]it would be nice if tttia would give me permission to merge some of his tutorials in this one. :wink: [/EDIT] Pixel Programs: Paint: is a very good program for linework in pixel art yet its coloring system is a bit slow so it takes very long to make a sig in Ms Paint. Graphics Gale: THE best program for coloring pixel art basicly because of its quick color sample system, its color system itself is awesome to you can get some awesome color schemes its a sort of magic :P http://www.humanbalance.net/gale/ < click to download SHADING TUTORIAL first. You have to start with the high lights place them on whatever place you think his body shape and depth will react to the light second. you'll have to surround it with more colors to get depth in it, use contrast between color to mantain depth. third. the final "dark spots" these are essential to depth! supossed to be darker then the rest and will be good for 3D effect. try to give this one a high contrast depending on the light volume result. tadaa! not to hard yet a pretty good result.

just a few days be patient... 8) working on putting one together.

in my opining he pushed the pecs of way to high making it appear as if he has no neck. not to mention split in half never really works out good in any drawing, it spoiled it to in this sig, even for split personalitys...

my god, ur a freaking sig nerd.... shut up.. :lol: :lol: :lol: Coming from a terragen... shut up.. *agrees with teenage*

lol you dont think jagex would be stupid enough to make it like that? its not even operational, imagene that sword being real: if you strike with it your hands will slip down onto the blood causing wounds on your hands thus making you less powerfull everytime you hit not to mention rust infections.. handle is to short anyway.. jagex shades it differently and drop shades it differently.. the way you did the outlines was a giveaway.. im just pointing out the negatives.. edit: o yeah whats Dragon Hut..??

are they wearing bras? if not then those chests are anatomicly incorrect against there body structure

4 actually :wink: Black, red, light red and dark red. xD black isnt a color :roll: spend more time on it for future reference..

no no, its donut if u go to like krispy kreme, or dunkin donuts so he's right. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=doughnut donut came from americans who couldnt spell. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=donut or just thought it would be easier like that.

whining about prayer is pathetic dont use any of them there horrible.. :? try again another time.

its a random sig script with 86(or more) different sigs.. :shock: which one?

use the search button and it looks like a bunch of weeners attached to one another.

lol! funny replys here :lol: the donut looking fat on one side and skinny on the other but its because of the perspective and i dont whant to put some stuff in that eye hole of his to make it look fat on the other side because its his eye in a funny way. and its for lord maras alone despaxus!! lol Col.Avanor! :lol: and the name is different in different countrys the one says Doughnut the other says Donut.

ahh the guy that gave away 16 santa hats and 20 mil total value because he got drunk and playd rs i remember the story lol kind of short tho.. http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=202213&start=0 << the topic about it... and itachi you already post the slow mo thingy like 3 months ago..

woohoo no this is NOT a mascot thingy.. hands off!! so this is basicly just a rate my/c-c my or comment on the new avatar i made for Lord_Maras, and Lord_Maras alone one day donuts shall rule the world, mark my words.

candles in church of saradomin (lumbridge) - its amazing what bees produce! bees.. candles? ..riiiighht...

pitty they have to be taken down soon.. i thought they where only going to stay for 3 weeks ?

the banana is his self figure.. not a fan figure.. like that bloody ted the pear. i wish a kid came in and ate him, same applys to apple guy. on second thoughts ill drop and leave the entire gerbils and turtles thing to, dont get me wrong i like gerbils.. but got tired of it.

jpg isnt a bad format when will you people learn! :evil: its only bad in paint because its quality is set to 50 percent or something allong that direction it seems as if you copy and pasted one of your characters in it ..? dont do that , and i dont like it.

That's even worse looking than the original fake. :P thats not a fake and it doesnt look bad its a pixel drawing. as for the original fake i like, the one pad on the right arm is original looks nice to, tho jagex isn't creative enough to think of something like that.(no offense to jagex, they just havent thought of a creative armor sort yet..) as for those who say bad fake: shame on you! it blends with jagex style good job.

get rid of the picture, get rid of the text. texts are suposed to be vocal points ever wonder why they dont put black lettering on black material? because it would be hard to notice, same should aply to this. i dont like the background either, sorry im just not a fun of your style.

still the eyes there still.. empty.. :( the amy seems flat you drew it in the wrong perspective, a sort of side view would do better and the armor can fixed easy with higher contrast to make it look metal. something like the contrasts of 15 dark and 85 light will do.. (you use gg? if not start using it, you'll like it) and you couldtry making the clothing underneath the armor look like black leather (high contrasts once again, and very tight around the arms)

but nad.. halo2 has t3h l337 star scenes on it ! and the ending sucks.. because it doesnt suck its a open ending which means theres another story is attached to it which means halo3 is going to ?complete? or atleast carry on that story! but i still love myself.. (not really but.. its just that..im a coyote :(poeticly(sp?) speaking but i still own 8)

the neck and head is fine. use more reds oranges and yellows in his eyes to make him fierce, make the reds go a bit on the left side of the eyes,orange a bit in between and yellow to the right. if you please to do different go right ahead. ruby ammy suits it best since it has a red color scheme

i think stuff on a large canvas..? :shock: honestly i dont know..

i like the character, no wait i love it! tho his eyes.. there blank they dont give you a spark, they dont transfer his emotion to your thougts. given his pose he's fiesty ready to fight burning up with flames inside him, yet his eyes remain blank? even if you tried something mysterious its just not right! o yeah his right hand looks like a fish.
