Elvy's Guide to Pixel Art -- [Updated again!]

I slightly agree with Quer, atleast it's a good style to be copying though.

Lowgravity, I want to be just like you. But...I never will be as 1337 as you. :(

014. Source of light?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this part of the tutorial i like..

 

 

 

sorry im just under the slight impression that you are majoritally (sp) explaining your style... ive already seen people copy stuff directly from the tutorial.. things that should be influenced by the peoples own style.. (this is those peoples fault not yours)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i say as a request not for me tho but for the moste here.. are the basics..

 

 

 

your missing some basics essential to pixeling.

 

 

 

people have to know HOW to pixel,how to make a drawing how a platebody looks like isnt the moste important thing..

 

 

 

basic shapes and drawing is.

 

 

 

talking about platebody the one in the tut has disproportionate arms :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(sorry if you see me as offense here just trying to c/c on your tutorial.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I believe you have sheer jealousy, explaination of a style is better then telling everyone how to do it. See she explained her style you say? Then that is much different then telling everyone how to do her style.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

no im nopt jealous.. if i was jealous i would've said different stuff.. and i hardly ever get jealous.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

yes it is different from telling how to do it, but still people are copying.. seen it on other forums.. the faces are copyd the plates are copyd the style of legs..

 

 

 

i cant see how this could pleas scarlet, thats why i told her this.

 

 

 

im not trying to flame anybody, nor am i jealous? why for [bleep]s sake would i be jealous?

Your guide is less popular, I don't think you'd be saying this if people were copying your style. Also as I told you before people are looking at a cartoony pixel sig now.

so according to you, if i give c/c to another guide, it instantly turns me into a jealous little [bleep]head?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i know that unfortunately for me, people today prefere cartoony style of pixels over realistic character pixel sigs..

 

 

 

that doesnt mean im jealous.

Amazing Quer, you are the only one that has found problem with this thread from what I've seen. Well... iunno.

you got me wondering if that is a good thing or a bad thing?

Just because no one else has seemed to have fault with your method dosn't mean there isn't none. His post was *not* offensive. He just wanted to discuss your teching style is all I can see.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I bet this is the more popular tutorial for the simple reason that Quer prefers a realistic style, while a cartoony style appeals to someone who has a hard time drawing from life, which seems to be many people.

Awesome guide :)

Oh em gee, this thread is old. I completely forgot about it. This is what I'll do: I'm working on a sig atm for someone in a contest and I will save it after every major step, go into detail about how to do certain things, and make a new thread with it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So plans:

 

 

 

- Save progress of major steps in next sig.

 

 

 

- Go into detail about each step, expand with images on how to do certain things.

 

 

 

- Add more tips.

 

 

 

- Make all the "progress sigs" into a gif so you can watch it all come together!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I should have it posted in a week or so.

so are you making a new thread for a new tut?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is there any water in the sig your making? i still kinda want to know how to make it. :P
