Save it as a .gif, miles better than jpg for a pixel.

 

 

 

Other than that it does look nice, I'll give you that. You obviously spent some time on it and it has good detail.

 

 

 

 

 

My complaint is that, well, its a flat out copy from that painting. The great thing is you have the technique down now.

 

 

 

Yeah but I made the mistake that I forgot to save it BEFORE making the signature.. If you save it as GIF after the colors will turn bad. :(

i think i smell paint over... it looks much too close to not be....

This final .png has...wait for it.... 13,242 unique colours?! Are you sure that's pixel art? :?

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, reduction to 256 colours should help on the size issue...

 

 

 

I have this overwhelming feeling that you didn't 100% make that image. The tree trunk in your final version is almost an exact copy of the John Howe image's tree trunk, only resized. If you did make it, you must have incredible patience to place every one of those pixels there. It might be a traced image as other said, not sure.

 

 

 

It is a good pixel if you made it entirely with no tracing or copy. If you did do those, shame.

Ok, I'm not going to make myself look like a more jerk so I'm not going to try deny it. I did copy some parts of the tree after many unfinished tries. I did paint the rest of the tree myself and I painted sky/grass and gandalf myself. But this aint anyhow worse than those most of signatures you just take already made renders and just bit edit them, right? :P

 

 

 

So that's why there is so many colors, I still must say I used like 1000 colors myself atleast (I did copy colors from original picture).

 

 

 

Yes I admit that copying the tree parts and all the colours wasn't that wise, and I got that I'm not going to do that ever again. Still give me a break I did work on this for like 30 hours and all you do is find mistakes I did. :cry:

 

 

 

If you don't have any CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISISM(Not about copying the tree or colours <- I know that already).

 

And I'm starting new pixel work soon where's no MODEL, so I'll be all by myself with it, then you'll see what I can do without models. :

wow... you kind of ruined your reputation by copying parts of the pic that wasn't that smart... i hope you get good reviews on your next cause copying is bad!!!!!

You can promptly disregard what I said earlier now.
