Jackish Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Hello there, I was just wondering on some general advice about pixel signatures and programs used for them. I have been looking at popular signatures here made by the likes of mixerman, punkage and y0urm0m (Is that right? heh) and i find the whole 'pixel art' thing very impressive, much more so than typical photoshop style 3d effect filled signatures. (Sorry if that offended anyone.) Now I am totally new to this, and have had my signature for a while but was wondering if its any good for a first time 1 hour signature job done on paint? I was just wondering if I should pursue the art of pixel sigs and pixel artwork, or if I shouldn't really bother. (Ps - I need to update the stats, but yes). Thanks very much in advance, I would just like to add if i would benefit using other programs, such as photoshop (Even though I have no clue how to function them). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran_Shadow2 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 the good thing about pixels is that anybody can have a go, visit my deviantart page if you wonna see some of the pixels ive done :) theres many tutorials people have made on how to pixel, however most people who follow these just end up having the same style as the people who made the tutorials, which is counter-productive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(mainly because my sigs are non-cartoony, apparently moste people dont appreciate non-cartoony pixels). if you whant to try pixel art.. then try out traditinional art first, it will help allot.
