just sorting it out Easy really, you just need to manually remove some of the small scratches

hmm your could do a giant cookie

what do you meen like geting a website and a forum comes with it and optica sounds not bad and thnx verry much i got more names like Project tyro Static(lame) Bazooka Omni they suppIy the code for a forum tyropics?

did a quick Sketch, may make it into a full scene

nice idea, I could do a few sketches today for more ideas.Also gives me a chance to use this tablet. You going to brush it?

you can got sites with forum packages.

few anatomical errors but overall I'm loving yours style, truly a pixeler in the making

you can change the quality by pressing ctrl alt shift and s and reducing it

iGFX is copying apple a bit too much. Brainstorming some ideas V Heaven Graphics Graphics for u Graphics "r" us Graphics for eva Graphics kingdom Btw what is the purpose of this site ne way

Don't use abbreviations in the name. How are you going to be hosting it, are you going to be using invision free and or are you going to make it yourself. Also are you going to make banner and items yourself or rip them from google. Are you going to keep it simple or complex. Perhaps the name Graphics Unlimited

glad people like it. Going to work on a new one making it slower

said it better than me.

I know many use the line tool but pixels are called pixels because they are drawn pixel by pixel. By dithering of lines I mean neatening them by putting darker shades next to them

Thanks. Not a good as I've seen and the examples aren't very good but I thought I may as well post it

It's a really good picture. I just put somethign up about shading in my tutorial thingy, take a look at that. It only covers the basics but is a good start

Ye I may change that when I have the time. The tutorials more on the basics though, I had someone ask me through pm so I copied and pasted what I said to him.

I'd never really seen shiva around the forums or any other place. It's sad to hear that shiva died especially in such a peculiar way. Any death, for me, is sad and I hope it was not suicide. I did notice a stop in post by him but in a way I didn't. RIP Shiva :(

So?

It certainly blew his mind though

finally got round to making pics. Linework Linework is the frame for the signature, without it there would just be a mass of coloured jelly and unless you like jelly you don't want that. When drawing lines of any kind you must use only the 1px penicl or brush otherwise it cannot be counted as a pixel signature. Dithering of lines also has to be done manually. For the lines to look neat and tidy they need to be only one pixel thick, if they are more then the lines look uneven and will most likely decrease the value of the signature. Example below (which do you think looks best) Shading The second part of making a signature is colouring it. solid colours look plain and bored so I'll show you how to add a 3d effect to your work. To get a gradient you need to pick darker colours after each other in quick succession this makes it seem that it is smooth. The first one of both pictures shows what you should not do. The second shows a gradient and the third shows a dithered (see next section) gradient. Dithering To add a certain touch to your pixels you can create even smoother transitions and add texture just using a crosshatch method. When doing the crosshatch think of binary (on or off). This is the equivalent of 010101 or on,off,on,off. A second stage of dithering can also be added to make it even more presise. By using dithering you can create five different shades and add texture using only two colours. This is my favourite and many others favourite method for a good pixel (it also adds considerable value) General other stuff You may want to try out some of the above things to see what they are like. Pixeling takes a long time but can be rewarding. By making sure you use dithering you add value to your pixels and as long as you get the shading right it's hard to go wrong. One of the most important tips for pixeling is to keep on going and continue practicing, also use a reference picture (grab one off google) it's not against the rules. You could be the next misterxman or terley. A few statistics Average time I take for a pixel - 3 hours - 8 hours of work Average money i've made - 350k awaiting 200k and going to get 700k-1million. A hint is not to post your first piece unles it's really good - Doing so can cause you to get flamed and don't use buddies on these forums (everybody hates them) ~ Hope this cleared up just about every problem you have and is much clearer than the previous one ~ Lemonfish P.s remember borders, text and waterwarks too.

I may remake it coloured but black and white looks better for this one.

You sure disgrace is the right word? I thought it was 40 star anyway? Or was that stripes? Well something has 40 EDIT: Dam I'm starting to hate it, it's MOVING!

Hey, why not?
