hardwick246 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 One word.... shading. Need help or advise? Have a question? Just PM me through Runescape or Tip.it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exbaj Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Hard to tell what angle this is on, since the top shelf has either things about to fall off of it, or it's on an unusual angle to everything else, whilst the bottom shelf only shows a side view. 99 / 99 Mining 89 / 99 Smithing 87 / 90 Strength SKILL TOTAL: 1836 / 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smapla Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 using "glow" makes the work NOT a pixel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlutoTan Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 YA^ You should really use the shading and stuff on your own...thats what makes it true art :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomar1 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Nice trying but very low shading. Try to shade it again, recolor and shade. Remember that fire and sun are light source! ----TheLair Game!----"Game isn't dead... You wish!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD666 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 The angle of the wall and the angle of the objects that are on the wall isn't the same, which makes it look a tad strange. Experiment with coloured outlines too, for instance on the sword use grey lines rather than black, slightly darker than its base colour, should give it a more realistic look. The glow effect you used doesn't look too great nor is it accurate, you would be much better off hand pixeling it, remember the light sources would be the window and the fire. Pretty decent for a first try though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshadow Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 The wood is beautiful. I think the fireplace needs some depth to it. I would make it a greyish black inside. Is that one window with the mountain a painting or a window? For a first piece, not too bad. Just work on shading, read a bunch of tutorials, look at a lot of pixels.

terley Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I think you are taking on too much by trying to pixelate a scene as complex as this, as mentioned you aren't making true-pixelart. every individual pixel has to be hand placed, if it really isn't your cup of tea dont take up pixelart. Maybe you would enjoy other forms of digital art, where you can be free use those sort of tools to achieve your desired effect. If you really do want to be a pixel-artist I suggest you start on something smaller, it all comes down to having to learn the fundamentals.
