July 21, 200817 yr i made 2 sigs this is my first one and this is my 3rd sig i made i would liek feedback and tell me how i can imporoove them (i am aware my first sig i didnt ploish the lines so dont remind me about that point :)) thanks for the feedback
July 21, 200817 yr They look extremely flat. Also try moving away from the current shading method you are using, or make it less noticeable. The rocks in the first one, (small ones on the ground), are pretty well done. (1) cuts off way too abruptly however (unless he's on a cliff, which you should have some signs of). In (2) the grass isn't the correct color and the entire scene is very flat. Also I would move away from black outlines personally.
July 21, 200817 yr Author actually the 2nd one is based in the elf place by the magics and the grass there looks like that but i se what u mean by flat edit: how would i go showing hes on a cliff?
July 21, 200817 yr First one = saved as a jpg... NEVER do that in Paint, especially not with pixel art. Apart from that, the shading looks pretty sloppy in some parts, like the sky. Same with the monster (whatever it is, I don't play RS), it lacks proper shading, making it look flat. But since it's your first signature, I'll focus on commenting on the second one. Second sig: Big improvement, but again, it lacks shading in some parts. It looks quite cartoony because of that and the black outlines, and maybe that's what you were going for, but I just don't really like that style. The text isn't great (apart from the "Insane 212" part, that was auto-antialiased and looks better - but you'll probably all the text to look the same in terms of font), it looks quite messy and the font isn't great. The anatomy of the guy in dragon armour seems off too, his legs are incredibly short compared to the rest of his body. And again, the signature could use a border. Overall, you didn't do a bad job, but there are some things to improve on. Try looking at a few pixel tutorials (there are links to some good ones in the resources sticky here in The Gallery), and keep practising. Ugh, Nadril beat me to most of the stuff. pixel avvy by me deviantART
July 21, 200817 yr actually the 2nd one is based in the elf place by the magics and the grass there looks like that but i se what u mean by flat Oh. Still, though, I would try and draw and make it look like there are blades of grass instead of a flat plane of green. It looks like that in game most likely due to the low graphics of the game, I'm sure that they meant it to be a meadow or some sort (grass, flowers, ect.) so I would go in that direction. edit: how would i go showing hes on a cliff A few ways. You could just draw some clouds in the sky, and maybe a bird flying by. You could then show a forest off in the distance a bit, or a town or something. You could also change the perspective a bit upward so that it gives you a shot looking down, but that'd require an entire reworking of the signature.
July 21, 200817 yr Author well seing as the first one isnt a sig showing me i did it for my friend as he gave me some stuff to help me out before the trade limit (st00pid trade) ill probly wont touch it, that and i cant find the non- JPEG version anywhere :P the 2nd one is my favorite and i really want to get it perfect, ill try changing the colours of the lines, but i think the reason i did the lines was to not make it 100% realistic, but ill have a go just so u dont think im slacking to improove :) ill also try adding blades of grass and the propotion of the guy in DHIDE!! :P not dragon (hehe) i ll try changing that but i am not sure how ill go about doing that unless i re-draw it which ill have a go, i was also woried about the tree, should i try add bark texture? as i heard bark along with water was one of the hardest things to achieve in pixeling so i didnt want to try, do you think i should or not
