bump

Bump for the night. I'll be checking this tomorrow afternoon.

I saw that sig earlier and thought that it looked familiar

Like its been said, a few months ago was the good time period on TIF for non-pixelers. I don't know how long I'll last here either. There are some people that I keep coming back to read their posts. If they left, and it was only newer, not-so-good pixlers left, I would probably diminish into an unknown figure of the past.

1. Has the quality declined? The quality from back on Scapoeboard has definately declined. Alot of the really good artists that we had are now gone, and the few who still post here don't show any pieces very often at all. 2. Is the pixel trend positive? Positive in what way? Like benefitting the Media board? If thats what this question means, than yes and no. People can now buy really detailed and specific sigs from the good pixlers, but the trend has brought in alot of people who post really poorly done pixel pieces. 3. What keeps people coming back? I keep coming back for a few reasons. I like some of the people here, and I want to see how their art work is coming along. I also come to read discussion such as this one, to see what people think about different aspects of design trends, preferences, etc.. I also keep hoping that someday I can make a few geepee from here 8) 4. How many rate my whatever posts are too many? I've seen this already, but I agree that it shouldn't just be a "Rate This" post, but a C&C post. If people are looking for genuine, honest C&C, and not just a rating to make them feel special, than there is no real limit. For those wanting lies to feel good about their not-so-good art, than 1 is too many. 5 What kind of posts do you REALLY ENJOY. I like these kind of posts. Discussions about different trends, preferences, and.. this sounds familiar. 6. For those who have left , cut back activity or are considering it, why? When the forums opened as TIF, I posted alot on the Media Board. I entered alot of contests, since they were all abstract/landscape and the occasional space. I made a good bit of earnings from the first couple months, but then the pixels started. Once everyone wanted pixels, and the new threads were dominated by 'Rate my 1st pixel', I lost interest and didn't post much at all for awhile. The pixelness isn't as extreme as it was at one point, as there are now people actually buying some other type of sigs, so I have entered a couple contests and opened shop once again. No, that makes sense. You can pump out 5 sigs an hour all day, and none of them will look good. What some people here don't seem to get is that spped doesn't equal quality. Alot of them don't seem to want to spend the time to get quality results. I pm'ed Witty a while back, asking why he hasn't posted any of his works. He told me that if he did, that it would get maybe a few posts, and then fall off the charts, so to speak. Less people here seem to appreciate true artwork, and would rather post on someone's lame first attempt at pixiling.

Thanks 8) Hopefuly some people start to buy some sigs.

Anyone want to order a sig?

Yea, we need details on what kind of sig you want and wwhat text you want on it.

Here you go Sly How are these Noalei? Name is spelt wrong, that will be changed if you buy these.

I will get to work on both of those right now 8)

Make sure that you have the render quality slider (underneath the preview window) all the way up at maximum. It will make the render look so much better.

Thanks for the comments 8)

That is Freestyle Script

Yes

Good prices, and quality simplicity 8) I like animation #3. Very smooth.

People and graffiti are freehand, which I'm not good at. I'll see what isometric type items I can fit in to improve it.

Paint is a default program that comes with windows

http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=12046 Read it. There is a free program listed.

How much longer will you keep this going for?

Fake in what way? There are some clouds in front of it to make it blend in better with the sky.

Look at a road. It isn't purely black. There's a sort of texture because of the mixture that makes the road.

This is something I made quite awhile ago, and I decided to make it into a sig today. Rate it if you want.

The last is the best one by far. All the others aren't realistic looking.

Very nice job on that. The only thing that could be fixed is the white coming out from the bottom right of the center 'ball' of white is a bit pixelly.

Awesome work, its very nice. Theres some great detailing done there.
