soulman01 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Has anyone heard of a buddy kit? I had a friend show me a runescape armor buddy kit he got somewhere! You just selected the head/helmet, body/chest armor and legs - you ended up with some thing like a small runescape man/woman in armour. My friend sent me a couple of examples for me to put in my sigs, but now he's moved overseas and can't send me the buddies anymore! Does any one know where I can find a buddy kit?

apinagez Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 ^^ w00t a mod begging :P Joking, i agree, buddyes are nothing more than ripping pieces of a draw and putting them together. Once they were new and fun, but now they are too overdone. ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupcake Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 The reason I join this board is becuase I don't want to see that thing ever again....you just stab the media board on this site with a knife. :twisted: don't stab this board with more knives by posting their creation on this board. I am sure everyone who contribute some good stuff on this media board won't like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking, i agree, buddyes are nothing more than ripping pieces of a draw and putting them together. Once they were new and fun, but now they are too overdone. Yeah, I agree, its like Lego, just copy and paste, put head, torso and legas toghether! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 The buddy kit in it's self does help those who otherwise can't do anything, but want a sig. However, if you are going to make one, don't post a thread called "rate my buddy!11!!11!". I'm fine if a person just uses it to make them self a little sig or avatar, but the trying to get it rated and crit'ed is just bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terley Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 holy cabbage i scuk at maken people in sigs that wouild b nice haven that... it wouldn't really cus the characters are only ever in one position and making a pixel sig with no action and using characters seen millions of times before makes em just boring, theres nothing wrong with buddies its just its just past its time and people tend to wanna see something new and better. you'll probably get better ratings and produce better sigs making your own characters its true :).. if your english maybe you've heard of the crazy frog, everyone hates it cus too many people seemed to like it at once and now that its been ages since then and the popularity of it has died down its just annoying to know that people still wanna try bring it up again. if that makes sense :D . its basically the same concept for buddy kits, people just use em as short cus to making sigs.

soulman01 Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 Jeeeeeeeez!!! OK,ok! I just wanted something to experiment with!!! As for sigs, all I got to make em is paint and any free art programs I can get off the net! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terley Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 paint is all you ever need, Ive never made a pixel signature outside mspaint and im sure that the quality of your work doesn't depend on the quality of your program. Take some of the best ones you've seen out there, 90% of them are made on paint cus people tend to try use brushing and effects on programs like photoshop, its better to do it manually cus your then only relying on your own abilities instead of your pc's. Ive heard 'graphics gale' is awesome to make pixel sigs tons of great artists have been using it for a while, I can't be bothered to download it :P but yeah try get hold of that. If you wanna experiment with something try ask some people for spare linework (non coloured in pixel art) and practice colouring techniques and shading and maybe you'll pick up on how to draw better character whilst working with their work, if you want better characters the best thing to do is to first look up anatomy on google or http://www.alltheweb.com (I prefer cus more picture come up :P) and also search for clothing brands and maybe look in catalogues to help you become better at drawing how clothing hangs on our bodies (creases, folds etc). from then if you want to be able to draw cartoony just simply adapt your own style from cartoons you've seen and maybe look how other pixelers have pulled off their styles in pixel. you can always pm for advice, im sure there a few people will be willing to answer any queries you have :wink: . Oh and just totally forget buddy kits cus even if you pulled it off really professionally you'll get flamed for ages just for the fact that its a buddy, at most just make your own but still people may not be too keen on it. ~ Ter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
