Hobgoblin11 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Makings of a pixel sig? Looks like it could be really nice, whats the idea behind it? As in, is it 'just' a dolphin or are you putting other stuff with it? Can't wait to see it fully rendered, 6/10 atm, good, realistic shape. 99/99 Fletching, 99/99 Cooking, 96/99 Strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, is it 'just' a dolphin or are you putting other stuff with it? Can't wait to see it fully rendered. Hmm, I first thought I was just bored. Then I started drawing the lines of a dolphin. Fixed the lines, started shading, returned back to unshaded form, played with some lines, got bored. I don't know when or how I will continue it, but the dolphin SHOULD be jumping at a sea (how original). Trying to make large pieces of water look cool will be a challenge, hope I will ever get there. The sky won't be that much of a problem I hope. 99+ all 23rd March 2012 - 2496 total 13th June 2012.9000+ dragon drops!

Hobgoblin11 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Lol, gotcha. Yes, I guess it will be pretty tricky to realistically shade the water, and not make it seem too 'monotone' and boring. I'm no expert, but if you start with the white wave crests and work 'down' the wave, going from lighter to darker blue at the wave trough, that may be a way forwards. I'm possibly spouting complete rubbish though, you'd have to ask Aperson or someone :-P 99/99 Fletching, 99/99 Cooking, 96/99 Strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I like the shading on the dolphin, good job. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jopie211 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Interesting piece, dolphin looks good so far. :) pixel avvy by me deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jav Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hate to be the first "bad" cc on it, but the tail fin is way to big. Then the body seems to get smaller as it goes towards the head. But it shouldnt be too hard to fix the tail, good luck! jav "Let your feelings be like that of a monkey in a pinata, hiding inside with the candy hoping that the kids don't break through with the stick."

But it shouldnt be too hard to fix the tail, good luck! jav besides the tail fin, that's actually how real dolphins look. good job on the picture so far, the shading is realistic, except for the middle part. like i said, looks pretty much like a real dolphin should loook.

ColAvanor Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Don't mean to be too narcissistic, but I think my good ol' "encounter" sig's dolphins were hawt. Mine are perhaps a bit cartoony in shape, but you should still definitely make the tail fin smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthu Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 Updated the thingy. I realised myself too, that the tail part is too big, but meh. It's good as it is :)? The middle part shading was done, uh, by trying without thinking. It wasn't perfect, but I was personally quite pleased, with the almost standable and different from what I have usually tried, result. Now I added some simple background without details and call it ready. Too bad I'm so lazy :( 99+ all 23rd March 2012 - 2496 total 13th June 2012.9000+ dragon drops!

Faelenof Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 To be honest, I liked it the simplistic way it was before. :uhh: The background is over-spraycanned, it doesn't look like water so much as a whole bunch of dots. :( Text leaves something to be desired as well. It had a certain style to it in the original version, but the background killed it. :| (anyway, good job with the dolphin itself, I'll stop talking about the background now and just say the only iffy bit I've got with the dolphin is the tail size, which seems a tad too big.)
