Guest Armagedon46disabled Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Ok I was wondering how do you make them? There cool and all that but whats the big deal? do you just paint one pixel at a time in paint or do you just draw them? I would like to make my own, if it's simple, once the craze dies down. Thx for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokie Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I'm not a big pixel artist myself, but I've made a few for DA in my day. There's basically two main styles I've seen: 1) Good ole' paint. Pixel by pixel, sometimes using the line tool. 2) Photoshop pixeling. Taking a few more pixels at a time. It's up to you. It's considered more "artistic" if you do it in paint pixel by pixel; at least, that's what I've noticed at DeviantArt and other GFX communities.

tonberry1 Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Armageddon, keep your sig that you have now. Im pretty sure that it is way better than any paint/pixel sig there is or going to be (atleast to my taste). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Jeppoz Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Quoting myself on another thread: I usualy draw a very fast sketch of the sig at first. very low detailed...often distorted by rush. Once done i check if the current setting suit my project requirements and if everything goes well i could decide to change an actor position in this phase...not a facial expression or some kind of mimic). Then i start to draw pixel by pixel, object/actor by object/actor with an accuracy of mmm like 70-90% depends on how much detail i wanna put on later. Once finished i check the result...that's now already good to be released actualy...but i like details so i add another step that's the detail insertion and it concerns textures as well as small details. I didn't charge a single gp from Chii. I told him to pay me whatever he thought it was good. He gave me the subject and i loved it so i realy enjoyed this project...
