Pixel WIP. - My 3rd.

[ThruItAll]

I know its not that good, but decided to post. I may update, but probably not.

 

 

Any good?

I like it so far.

 

But it's saved as a jpg. Never save a pixel as a jpeg ever, ever, ever. Always save as a png

[Faelenof]

To Doom: It is saved as a .png. ;) Aaaand... because it's saved as a .png, that raises a whole different issue.

 

 

 

It looks like you've brushed it a little (in Photoshop, I mean), to be honest, or used an obnoxious amount of colours to get teensy-tiny little blendings.

 

 

 

From what I can gather from looking at it and zooming in, it looks like you made a shape of a jagged fire initially from a base maroon colour, then used something along the lines of the 3px soft default brush and coloured it that way.

 

 

 

Because you used a soft brush, it tends to blend into whatever it is that's underneath it, meaning you get a bazillion more colours than you originally intended - and because this looks technically brushed, it's not a pixel, I'm afraid. :?

 

 

 

BUT, if you can actually say you put 1656 unique colours using a 1px hard brush on Photoshop, then I'm proven wrong and it's a pixel.

 

 

 

There's another possibility that you initially saved it as a .jpg, and then saved that as a .png, which means your colours were blended due to the .jpg. BUT, that doesn't explain the odd light-shaded bits that come out of the base maroon colour.

 

 

 

Good luck. :)

Yes, I agree, I still like the pixel though.

 

 

 

You have some talent, definitely. Next time maybe try a slightly larger canvas (100x100 px, avatar size, for example). But small pieces are good to practice on if you are just starting out.

 

 

 

Good luck pixeling, I really hope to see more pixels from you soon. :

well i think it was originally atleast,because if you try to use the normal fill feature on paint on the white, then it seems like it's a jpeg. I doubt he would take the time to invisibly shade the white.

Did you save as JPG and then resave as PNG?
