Lance_Devore Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I'm completely new and fresh at this, so I'm gonna need your help. Please tell me if it's good for a first timer or if it's even worth being a sig at all. I see so many good pixelers here, it's really awesome and you guys are so good. p.s. I might pay around 50k to anyone who can make my avatar all pimped outish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take dozens of hours (only an assumption) to get decent at making pixel sigs. This type of art is incredibly detailed when done right, and takes many hours (just ask a pro) to complete successfully. Most importantly here, don't post your first pixel sig. They are rarely good and most times don't stand a chance. Now I'm not trying to insult anyone here, but ask many people and they will say the same.

Lance_Devore Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 How am I ever supposed to start pixeling if I can't get anyone to tell me how to do it? I think posting your first pixel sig allows you to get advice from people and grow and become a better pixeler. Would it be alright if said it was my second pixeled sig? :?

Carlos74 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 It would actually be worse, concidering the quality. Try reading around for some tutorials, or use the Search button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilertay Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 well, it lacks some things. first of all, the p-hat doesnt look like its around his head, it looks like its too small and just sitting on his head. secondly, theres all these little white dots on him, and it makes one think u may have just copied, pasted and filled in colour. His left hand is strange. We dont really have a clue to whats going on with the black helmet on the ground. His right hand would look nothing like that. grab something with your hand. look at it. EXACTLY. The text is really rough and hard to make out. Theres random red dots on the shining light beams. Pros you have the right idea on shading, the armour is really basic straight lines, but the sword is quite nicely done. And its not a .jpg so thats another good thing. :lol: hope that helped. BTW: what do u mean pimped outish? I can nicely fix and colour it out if u wish.

DoomGuard Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 i cant help thinking u drew it on a page and then scanned it or something... it looks to be drawn with a real pencil instead of a PS or paint one :? if u made it for real, well i like the guy on the left. He looks realistic, but like other people sed his hands dont look... normal and it also looks like hes wearing his pyama or something instead of armor :lol: also make the black guy stick out more. Same with the text, its illegible :? And i wouldnt do that ray-of-light thingie around the sword 8) it looks weird lol hope it helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before i post anything on Tip.it, Runevillage, GameRenders or DA i always ask 3 people on msn whats good about it and what improvements i can do. I hate it when people post and say they hate the sig. Its pointless of posting :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forceape Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 That looks good for a 1st sig man! Good Job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonorhc Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Here's a free tip: plate mail is made of metal, not latex. I'd change that armour, if I were you. Also remember that armour is not a SOLID piece of metal, because you'll have to be able to take it off without the help of a pneumatic drill.
