Second pixel: Still WiP

Nowhere near complete, but what do you think?

[yaff2]

well, by the looks of it, it will turn out nice :)

 

 

 

the mage armour, deff need ALOT more work, but looking forward to it!

[Dharockslayer]

err, same mage? Only mirrored horizontal? Thats definitly a no-no.

 

The linework is way too straight, the anatomy isnt correct. The shading is rather odd, it doesn't follow curves and shapes. The same is for the orb on the staff. It doesnt follow the normal standards for a glass orb.

 

The scribbles on the staff look weird.

 

Some tips, you need nowhere near as much colours as you used in the shading, for example in th mage robes you have a very gradient shading. You could of done that with maybe 2 colours, if you only follow the shapeshading principle.

 

 

 

For a second its good I guess. But is allot to improve on. The first being the most obvious mirrored mages.

Agreed.

 

 

 

Not bad for a second though. Some advice: maybe start with slightly smaller pieces, like avatars, and if that goes well, use larger canvases like sigs.

 

 

 

Good luck pixeling, I'm sure you'll be a good pixeler soon. :

Thanks, gunna work on it alot.

[Unoalexi]

The people remind me of the tomb paintings in Egypt...

 

 

 

Otherwise I agree with the others

 

Five kittens out of ten.

[sct_snake]

Update:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Removed both mages, and am going to do them both different.

 

 

 

The idea is to make 2 mages, blasting spells at each other, the spells collide, and create an amazing pattern from the impact. Hopefully i will get this done.

 

 

 

Edit: eh, didn't mean to save with no background. Oh well, it was nothing special.

[MD666]

Reminds me of my first sig :

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep it up mate :)

Heh, thanks. (btw, image doesn't work(if it was an image))

[DingoAte]

Yes, do it with the old man dude, it looks better :)

[sct_snake]

Will do :D

[sct_snake]

 

 

 

Update.

 

 

 

Background is empty because i have no clue what to put in.

[Unoalexi]

Mountains, maybe? Like the characters are fighting on a cliff?

Ugh, well here it is:

[DingoAte]

You could make it they're fighting on some floating platform in space. Because if there powerful wizards fighting I'm sure they blew up alot of the world :lol:

 

 

 

Then the background will be black so the impact of the two spells will stand out more.

 

 

 

I know, it's a silly idea but hey :D

[Infernosage4]

The newer version looks much better. And I agree with Unoalexi about putting Mountains in the background. That would look great.

[navyplaya]

Looking pretty good so far. The cloak on the left doesn't have very much depth to it though.

[Heartz_Mage]

 

 

 

Update.

Looks alot better than the first. Better shading for one. Lot to go still.

 

 

 

I wouldn't go with any landscape. Esp if its only a second. Maybe a dungeon or something with an easy bg. Fight Pits for an idea. The collision is gunna be the spotlight no the bg.

 

 

 

GL,

Ok thanks.

[sct_snake]

Hows this for a basic background?

I' d say put the classic 'ol moon in the back, where there is some empty space. Also, you could put some snow on the mountains. For the spells, I'd suggest fire wave vs earth wave.

That was the plan lol. Hence the green and red glow on their robes. :XD:
