ElkNight Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Looks really good so far. The helmet looks a little bit green, but that may just be me. 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!

Unoalexi Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 You know, I always loved the colors you use. However, the right(his left) arm could use an elbow. Just pinch in the muscle mass in the middle like this- () () Here be dragons ^ Dragon of the Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Compare an hour 30 of yours to one of mine and you won't think it's a little progress. I'd have maybe the head/helmet "done". Which coincidentally seem to look slightly pillow shaded, but it's still early so... Anyways, nice start :D [bleep] the law, they can eat my dick that's word to Pimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiimben Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Use more dynamic poses and increase the contrast. Dark shadows and brighter highlights depending on the texture of the object. Venomai recently posted a tutorial thing on light, which went into a little bit about dynamic stances. At the moment, your character is straight up and down. Like this... The one to the left is straight up and down which is boring. If you askew the skeletal frame you're building from, you can make more dynamic poses, such as the right. These, I have found, are better to practise shadows and highlights as it really tests your knowledge. Sorry it wasn't the greatest example, but I think it gets the message across.

Sam Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Looks great, though I think that the pose needs to be more dynamic like hiimben said. I daresay also that the shading looks quite reoetetive too. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasle Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 The arms look a little short to me. The muscles could also use some adjustment. Other than that it's great. I like the colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jopie211 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I'd agree that it could use some more contrast, especially some darker tones. The whip seems to look a bit too 'ropey' too, if that makes any sense. :P But other than that, it looks really good so far. pixel avvy by me deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 ropey im confused on but the contrast makes sense. what about my finished version? the shadows give it some contrast right?

Jopie211 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Oh, I just meant it looked a bit too much like a piece of rope instead of multiple sausage-like segments like the in-game design. Looks good, but the cast shadows from the pillars seem quite strange. They're curved slightly, shouldn't they be straight? Unless I'm just being stupid. Also, having the character (the main focal point) in the dead center of the canvas might not be the best idea, the basic rules for focal placement for abstract signatures also go for pixel signatures. Not a major issue in this case though. The contrast is definitely better though, good job. :thumbup: pixel avvy by me deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiimben Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Needs brighter brights. I'd either add a new tone thats a lot brighter, or adjust the brightest colour at the moment to be even brighter. At the moment it's too dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jopie211 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 ^ Please don't do that. The whole point of pixel art is to pick your own colours and make a fairly complicated picture using simple tools, automatically adjusting the colours or whatever in Gimp just feels like cheating and would ruin the signature IMO. I'd just manually pick some brighter colours and add some highlights to stuff using those. pixel avvy by me deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiimben Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 To add on to what Jopie said. Brightening the whole signature ruins the contrast. The dark colours are great, but we just want the lighter ones to a) brighten the piece as a whole up, and B) emphasise the depth of the signature.

Jopie211 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 That's fine, but we were only saying that it wouldn't be a good idea to try and do that. pixel avvy by me deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
