3-way battle sounds good. Looking for a totally original theme idea, or just going with any video game themed sig. :? I call Mega-Man! QH.

Well put, and I probably will. I'm just kind of stuck on a mental image right now. Got excited to do it, lol. Anyways, how about.. -Picasso-esque? -College mascots? -A simplistic logo? (Kiephus would kill me at that. :cry: ) -Mood piece? -Help me out, here? QH.

The second one is very nice. The first one is okay, but both are kitsch. Your talent shows, though. QH.

Alrighty, Keiphus. I really want to do something on SNES games, or perhaps classic rock! Any ideas? QH.

What an arrogant fool. I do not rip artwork. If I needed a quick sig I would use my sister's old ones. I am perfectly capable of making my own avitar *Points* and sig *Points*. AxeRaider, Of course you can judge! Mr. X. , It seems you're pretty busy. If you don't have time to battle, then perhaps you can judge? UMoN: Erm, was my suggestion of 300x100 and any SNES game related sig good? If not I'm open to any kind of ideas. Preferably not Runescape related, but... QH.

If someone knows them well, please extend the challenge. :D Ice Ring, I might do several fun ones after the big one. Like maybe a 30-minute contest to see who can rush best. :P QH.

MSPaint works fine. Graphics Gale is probably the best, though.

Well I'm seeing where the respect lies ( and the money ), and figured it would be good to earn some by battling someone. I don't care who it is, even the best pixel artist here would be fine. I'm just out for a little recognition and piece of the money. SO.. anyone who wants to do battle, drop a line. Size: 300 x 100 or 300 x 150 Theme: Any SNES game. Objections\ suggestions are fine if you don't want to do that^. QH. PS: Also, if you have any suggestions on who to battle, I will gladly extend the offer.

One order most likely. Unless two pays very well. Btw, I'm back. :D Basically the best paying \ Most fun one I'll work on. QH.

What's Ibrox Stadium, lol.

No AA, minimal shading, Bleh. :wink: Spend some time, this is forum spam. No offense. :P QH.

I am in need of a bit of money, and I wouldn't mind having a challenge to work on for a few days. Here's the scoop. I'm pretty confident with my skills in pixelating, and I am looking to take a request for a top-notch sig. I'm only asking anyone who is willing to shell out about 300-500k on a sig. Of course it will only cost you if you enjoy the final product. I might be able to dig up some examples other than my avi and signature, but I don't think they are necessary seeing as it's only going to cost you if you like it. 8) .:Specifics :. Size: Maximum of 300x150 (obviously). Preferred- 300x100. Style: Any specific style of pixelation. (Cartoon, realism, manga..) Color: Any desired color scheme. Description: What you would like on the sig. Misc: Anything else. Price: Your offer. QH. PS: My sister, Rachel (Zimlem), was the starter of the pixel fad if that inspires any confidence. :D

That's quite a bit of money, and also quite a bit of work. I don't mean to offend you, but before I dive into a huge project I'd prefer a middleman hold the money so we know you're good for it. (GreatsilverWyrm, or someone like that). Anyways, I might try this.. QH.

The love of my life just decided it was over.. 4 years.. I was feeling really emo, and wrote this.. I'm going to send it to her along with a love poem.. Tell me what you guys think of it. C|C appreciated.. Thanks in advance. I f Y o u S a y S o.. Mental anguish Still hurts the most I geuss you win Here's the toast... :( Walk on unscathed I'll cripple for you :oops: Smile, unchanged Some tears, too? :cry: Not enough hurt yet? You're not how you seemed :cry: You tell me what you want I'll tell you what you mean. QH.

No problem. Hope to see some budding pixel artists with pride in thier work. 8)

Outside AA almost always looks disasterous. I probably could make it more circular, but I don't think I will. I was focusing more on the internal AA. Ty for comment-o.

Looks like it's lacking picture quality. :cry: QH.

Okay, There used to be one of these threads for photoshop-type programs. Seeing as the pixel fad hasn't died down yet, and I still see lots of questions about the style as well as lots of generally bad pieces on display, I figured we need one. Before you make pixel sigs, or attempt them. Consult the few basic steps to not bieng dreadful, or ask a question if you have a more advanced or specific problem. No-Suck-Solutions. 1.) Spend time! Don't expect to whip out a masterpiece in 30 minutes every time. If you can't spend a lot of time, don't bother. Quality over Quantity. 2.)Make your own colors. MSPaint's stock colors are totally ugly due to high saturation. Spend some time developing a pallette before you do a work. It will save time instead of having to go back and recolor. 3.) Clean up your lines. If you don't know what this means, learn it. Ask me if needed. 4.) Don't do it solely for profit. Get some serious experience under your belt before you expect to make money off of artwork. Start off with doing free signatures until you develop a portfolio you are proud of. Pixeling should be fun! 5.) Be creative! Don't do the same old trees, warriors, weapons, etc. etc. scenes all the time. Take some time and think of the concept until you've got something you can't wait to finish. Of course I barely explained the fundamentals of art, but if you have some questions or need some quick C|C then post here or PM a veteran for info and tips instead of clogging up the board. Don't be afraid to ask people questions. In case you haven't noticed, most of the best artists in general around here are the more mature people. Most of them wouldn't mind stopping to give you something to practice on or give you some tips. If anyone else that knows a little something feels like answering any questions here, feel free to do so. The purpose of this post is to clean up this board from all the first attempts, and monotonous questions. QH.

If anyone else needs terms explained.. Post. QH.

1. Apologies. "Free" and "Shop" in the title threw me off a bit. 2. It's not very noticeable. No offense. QH.

Do free ones until you have a firm grasp on the artform. Also, don't use paint's stock colors. Make your own. QH.

Wow. I feel bad. I KNOW that. I am astounded. TY for noticing. I HATE SPELLING \ GRAMMAR errors. :D Updated with brighter BG. Weeeeee! QH.

Name : QuietHeroin. Don't make text stand out too much. Color: No preference. Quote: None. Theme: Guns N' Roses OR Velvet Revolver. Size: 300x100 Thanks in advance. QH.

The AA took me a while, but for some reason I'm most proud of the font I created (:P). Rate, Comment, Blah blah. OR Please tell me if you can find a fault or two so I can perfect it. QH. PS: Seeing as TIF users are pessimists: 100% my drawing, with a stock kirby reference. 100% MSpaint. :roll:

D i r t y the Dress Take cover in my mind, regress I start crying to repress These visions in my head Of you in that dress You're scared to commit To that white one with a veil I know you won't be there Some pretty girl in my life Some blonde B**** Posing as my wife Dirtying the dress That should've been on you.
