Ex-Soldier Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 WIP = ??? I think it's pretty good, but I wouldn't take that as my sig even if people would pay me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venomai Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 OH NOES!! I see gradient/pillow shading :( Great linework and awesome details, but some of the shading ruins it. WIP = ??? wip = work in progress. Its quite obvious that he's not yet done... I'm sure it will look great once he is though ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIP = ??? wip = work in progress. Its quite obvious that he's not yet done... I'm sure it will look great once he is though ;) Venomai how can you see PILLOW SHADING in this ? :? And no GRADIENT used. All pixels coloured one by one. I don't like the sprite effect that ditering gives to sigs. Using 4-5 colors + dithering should be faster and quicker than shading my way, maybe using 10-20 different colors on a surface (at least for the way i'm used to work). Pillow shading was very offensive... About gradient...Just think outside the box sometimes. Every1 has his own style. Should MrX's sigs be bad since he never changed his black borders and never went into AAs ? I think his sigs work great the way he makes them. And he doesn't follow the typical "pixel" tecnique at all (as i, obviously, don't myself). I don't like the crispy , sprity look that dither gives to sig. I don't see dots in real life. You will not see dots in my sigs (at least in shading). Take it or leave i'd say. All the above has to be read in a veeeeeery light way, since i know you'r a fine person...it's just that i had to say mine about such a HUUUUGE sting :P About the guy just above Venomai, i think he probably didn't like the "gore" aspect of the sig. Thx Godslayer for the support but i think (or hope?) he didn't mean to be as moron as his sentence, read on a different light, might suggest :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColAvanor Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Whee, someone agrees with me! Dithering, be it handmade or computer generated is the plague of the universe. I tend not to post too often and typically would let this kind of WIPs go by until the final piece, but this is just too good and you are not getting the feedback it deserves. That is ultra-frigging-credible! The detail on the dragon plate just totally blows me away. The blade is not like in rune? Who cares? Do you actually think every sword made would look identical? It's a game...they have to simplify things. It's pretty much your best so far. Never seen such detail even by you. GJ. PS sorry....I keep opening the image over and over...eating your bandwith.

Antrune Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 looking good jeppoz, glad to see another pixel from you. Been a while ;). On a side note I took a look at your Deviant art page and I noticed I saw a sig some other guy was saying he created on this forum :s. And no lol why do you always want to get stuff from John Lewis. Its over ̣̉300 more then than what i paid. John Lewis is a great, great shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venomai Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Well, I'm not saying you actually used gradients, but since your shades look so close together, its giving the imitation of a gradient. On a closer look, I can see all the shades you used, and where the irregularities are in the skin and armour, but at a regular view the arms and face look too smooth and cylindrical to be those of a humans. Here is an exaggerated example of what I mean. On the top box, the shades are much different from each other, enough to define the irregularities in the shape. On the second, the shades are so similar that it imitates a gradient-look. Its hard to tell there are even different shades in the second one, unless you zoom in. But don't get me wrong, this is a great sig, AMAZING details, AMAZING textures/patterns, and the smooth-style shading fits great with armours. The linework is superb and I can't wait for the final piece. The only major flaw in it is the shading style on the face and arms, it doesn't seem to be matching with how light would actually affect it (unless you zoomed in, then it becomes more clear ;)).

misterxman Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Craza Killa 8) Haha I knew it, two from you too, that guy is sig craza. :shock: On the update - the legs on the alive guy are HORRIBLE, the shading on them stinks, there's only one color (white), and the legs lineart looks like you spent 2 seconds on them. JK. Really, the sig is still looking great so far, great texturing/shading at same time (tough to do), proportions all good, still waiting for final sig. :x Pixel sigs by me.Pixel Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DementedHero Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Craza Killa 8) Haha I knew it, two from you too, that guy is sig craza. :shock: Heh, I wish he'd buy some from me too :P :lol: Back to the sig.. Looking pretty damn good right now. I really love the boots/legs the dragon guy is wearing. Don't really like his face/hair, but hey, that's just a minor thing.. Great job so far :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
