My sort of first pixel sig (almost done)

[Nash]

this is the first one ive ever completely finished... all the others i get through the outline and then never can get the texture the way i like it.

 

 

 

PLEASE GIVE ME FEEDBACK!!!

 

 

 

and rate from 1-10 :) 10 being the best uve ever seen (which it wont be)

anybody

[yaff2]

for a first, VERY good, i love it

[Nash]

thx. anything i can do to make it better? i know the texture is horrible

Nice for a first, but I think you shade a lot by random scribbling on it. Now, this type of shading is not always bad, but I think you use it a bit too much. Try using dithering to make nice textures, or 'normal' shading for things like armor, weapons, etc..

 

 

 

You can also take a look at some of the great pixel tutorials here on TIF, they are very useful.

 

 

 

Overall, good job for a first, I would rate you a 7/10. :)

try using more custom colors, the lava is made entirely from default red, orange, and yellow. Lava isn't like... sparks, it's flowing molten rock

haha yea i do kinda do things pretty random when it comes to shading :$. and yea i just noticed the lava is kinda lame. im gunna get right on it. thx guys

*cracks knuckles* Alrighty, here I go. First of all, good effort for a first pixel! :D

 

 

 

As said before, the random scribbling = no no, unless it's on things that have that sort of texture. Unless that robe is really that crinkled, it's best to use a different shading technique than random scribbles. I did it myself on my first couple of pixels, but my suggestion is to experiment around with different shading and texturing techniques. :)

 

 

 

I quite like the ice'd guy in the background, good effect. I think you could tone down the white lines a little, though - they seem a little too white to me, but that's probably me nitpicking. :P

 

 

 

Greater demon is quite scarily deformed back there. :| (unless again, that's just me being picky)

 

 

 

As pointed out, lava is a little... odd. *digs out very first pixel*

 

 

 

 

(disclaimer: this is a very old pixel, please don't c/c it... actually, if you want to have c/c'ing practise, go ahead - it might help you out with your own pixelling if you can find flaws in pixels. :D)

 

 

 

Anyway, as you can see here, lava shouldn't be randomly scribbled like that. I think I could have used with a yellowish shade in there, actually. (I'm not saying my pixel is the only way to shade lava, of course - each to their own. :))

 

 

 

Left arm seems odd - maybe a bit thin. Face doesn't seem shaded, looks very flat. Sky is a little dull. :|

 

 

 

Anyway, you are well on your way into pixeldom. :) Work on it, try new, original scenes, new shading and colouring techniques, read up on a few tutorials, zoom in on more accomplished pixeller's signatures to see what they did and see if it looks good (but don't rip! :o).

 

 

 

Best of luck! :D

:) thx for the advice. and nah im not gunna copy ur work :P ...much... hah jk jk. yea ive been looking at an ooold pixel artists work to learn sum shading techniques.. (travley er sumthing i forgot :\ soooo long ago) if hes still around sumbody tell me o.o so yea im currently making a new sig :D wish me luck! (and no lava :P i hate it)
