New Pixel Sig

I think this one actually looks different style wise then your previous ones. My main problem is still the lack of texture. The floor is the only thing with any type of texture here. Everything else has the same soft shading...the armor is same material as mime clothes.

Hmmmm. Not liking this as much as recent pieces. The weapons are great and the background looks as good as ever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The characters though. The guy on the left isn't too bad but I don't know why but I think the one on the right just seems ... Unnatural. Don't get me wrong, it's a good piece of work but that guy just seems to let it down. I think it's for the reason Ryan stated about the armour having the same texture as the mime legs. I especially like the magic shortbow and the staff thingy about it though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For this, I think I'd rate at 7/10. Not as good as your other works but still good. :wink:

Not as good as anything I would ever do, lol, but still a little weird on those legs there... :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really hope you worded that wrong :lol:

Where is the light source coming from? The cast shadows and lack of shading on the cabinet is kinda throwing me off. :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The linework seems flawed in a few places, and the faces look... silly. And the lines themselves would look better if they weren't all black (like what you almost did on the pumpkin)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cool, not your best though.

Blue pixels with her camera, I can't beat her pics in OOC forums. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks a lot for the CC everyone, I'll keep in mind everything for future sigs, and maybe even update this one to make it even better. Outside views always help show me things I couldn't see myself. :)

Misterxman, how long have you been pixeling? It seems you're never learning anything anymore.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

>Without AA, everything is jagged, theres no smoothness to the signature

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

>Without contrast everything looks like a pillow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

>Shadows don't have to fall as darker shades of the same hue. Give the shadows a blue tinge, give life to the flesh tones with some unsatureted red highlights. Browns and unsaturated greens go well together, as do greys and purples.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

>The black outlines seem to be getting in the way, try a practice piece without them and post it or pm it to me for some CC.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

>I'm going under the assumption theres not a reason for the lack of texture: Besides contrast, texture is the most important part of shading (along with pallete) in any bit of pixelart. Someone pointed out that the mimes thingy and the armour directly under it looks exactly the same. Thats an understatement. Almost (almost) everything has the same lack of texture. Metal shines! It has highlights! Skin is smooth! Cloth has large folds and a grainy texture! Hair is stringy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

>Some anatomy issues, MOOO's (our view) right leg is at a side angle, while it should be more frontal. NOOO's shins are too skinny to support him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think the single most impressive part of this is the quiver, it has interesting shading.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and remember I'm not trying to put you down, I want to help you. :D

Just saw the buyer post it on my clan forums so new there would be a topic here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very nice job Misterxman, nothing bad to say about it looks great.

I love you in a straight way my friend. *drools all over the computer while I look at siggeh* Anyways, my only two critiques are: Guy on the right needs cheek implants, his face seems SLIGHTLY choppy around the eye and cheek bone maybe extend a pixel or two to make him more... hardy... If that even makes sense there. My second comment is that the rune boots need to be more rune-y on the left guy. More toe, less ankle. Again, you and your art own my soul out of sheer wow-factor.

I think the reason is somewhere around the tune of 3 to 4 million gp :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He has explained before that customers like AND PAY FOR his style.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So at this point, assume it is a given until they stop liking and paying for it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If we want innovation out of xman, let's have him do NON-SIG works. It would be more worth his, and our time.

Yea, no doubt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or we could just talk him into making himself a sig, entirely for practicing aa, dithering, selective outlining, etc. :D

I like it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It seems a little more simplistic than some of your other works but if thats what you were going for than thats good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its not my favorite work of yours but then again you are one of the best artists out there :)

Even though I liked most of your other sigs, this one was not as good. Your style is nice for a while but you should consider something new.

 

 

 

tttia just explained why he doesn't do anything different. The last time I checked people were paying 6M+ for his sigs. If people pay that much for his style, I don't think he's going to want to change anything.

Its nice, the legs are long, it seems so simplistic and lack of texture for you. Still nice tho only an 8/10 from me tho.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I second that comment. Theres something about it that isnt like you maybe the lack of texture? I think I prefer your other work.

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.

Thats dissappointing. He fails to improve because these people think he's perfect? Its sad that he's being restriced by his buyers, its not as if he's never going to sell another sig if he just takes breaks and practices.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:cry:
