Grasle Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Done on MSpaint (except for the text shadow and transparency). [hide=][/hide] C/C appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Heh, this is great. Lovely shading, though I'm not liking the look of the lava. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoonyStrap Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 That is really good for MS Paint and I mean really good. MS Paint is so hard for me Photoshop is like so much easier :) The Loony Zerker PureClick one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jopie211 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 ^ /facepalm The signature is pretty good, but I think there's too much going on for a small canvas. The shading on the rocks is decent, but quite busy, so it makes it hard to see what's going on with the characters. I think it could use some more contrast too, you'd expect darker shadows and harsher highlights on things that are lit by lava. It' definitely not bad, though. :thumbup: pixel avvy by me deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 It looks great to me, only things I can see wrong Jopie already said. [bleep] the law, they can eat my dick that's word to Pimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasle Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hmm, okay. Yeah, contrast is something I felt wasn't quite right. I think I need to practice more with contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivers21 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 very nicejob, although the background is not the best, everything is very much the same, but the lava alooks good and the people are great, Overall 8/10, very very good work for paint :ugeek: {DeviantART}{Last.Fm}{Join Sublime GFX, great community for artists!}Back to RuneScape, Again.Avatar by Brian The Great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unoalexi Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 What's with this "very very good for paint" gibberish?! There are many phenomenal pixel sigs out there, and yet still the general public has such low expectations for MS Paint. It takes a good artist to make anything good with Photoshop, and this is no different for Paint. The Paint artist, however, simply has more patience. ^.^ As for the siggy before me, I'll say a few things. First, you need to add some anti-aliasing. It's hard to explain this in words, but there is many anti-alaising guides on DeviantArt and the Net you can use. Second, it would be better if you had a defined horizon line, and a vanishing point. Thirdly, your lava is too saturated-use less bright colors! You earnt- Seven kitties of ten. Here be dragons ^ Dragon of the Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just a popular belief that's hard to break. I'm sick of those people who use MS paint as a pretext to make them look good to people who don't really know about it... although that is not the case here ;) I think it's pretty good, definitely above the average quality of runescape related pixels. There's a perspective problem with the far cliff, the wall is at a too flat angle to the viewer, should be slanted inwards so it gives more depth impression (hope that makes sense). Also try to vary the contrast a bit more. Good job.

Nom Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Pretty sure the "good for MS Paint" comments come from lack of understanding of what a pixel sig actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rock is definitely a little too busy and I agree about the darker shadows/harsher highlights. Since it's so detailed, my eyes don't know where to look first :ohnoes: But it is very nicely done :) I like how you wrote "Grasle" too! - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirdly, your lava is too saturated-use less bright colors! You earnt- Seven kitties of ten. Disagree about the lava, I think its perfectly fine. Also, due to the sig trying to show the depth of the fall into the lava, I believe the layout is fine, the horizon isn't needed. Some contrast along the background would be excellent. I just think a larger size would make it better, allowing for bigger characters, with more detail, but you did a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree the cliff may be a bit strange, but horizon wouldn't have worked well with trying to look down into the lava. Most other things I agree on, and will take that into mind.

yaff2 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Its not bad... It looks very flat to me, and i cant really understand whats going on? all i get out of it is a guy flying in the air, another guy climbing *i think* out of where the lava is and a bunch of small items that dont make sense. The small things are wayyy to small and everything is unrealistic. the ground doesnt really look like grounf and the lava, is goof, but was to saturated as said. 1980 Berlinetta with a 350, bored, mild cam, intake carb, headers, exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigajie Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 whys the guy with full bandos so big? which side of the lava is he on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syd Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 It's very nice, clear and detailed. Don't worry about the people who don't understand a thing about perspective. I like the cartoonish style of the charecthers, especially the guy in bandos (who is "flying" in air). It's a picture guys, pictures doesn't need to be realistic. Love the text. 9/10. =D> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilev Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 im not to knowledgeable on pixel's etc but from reading all the comments the one i agree with the most is making it bigger, alot of people seem confused on what the scene is, maybe people are just slow, but better defining what is actually going on by using a bigger canvas might help. so annoying when people think its one thing, when you mean something totally else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talset65 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 whys the guy with full bandos so big? which side of the lava is he on? Idiot, which side do you think he's on? He's blatantly fallen off the side closest to us. Great sig, I don't care that the cliff face seems busy, I really like it. I'm not too pedantic on the contrast of the lava on the cliff though, I think it looks pretty good as it is. Tough times don't last. Tough people do.
