[jens_w]

This is what I had before I saved as .gif (this is.png):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I saved as .gif (to add animation), I got this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My questions:

 

 

 

- How do I keep the colours?

 

 

 

- Any other suggestions towards me? On how to improve cause in my opinion this isn't bad, but it can get waaaaaaaaay better.

Hey,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd like to say, don't pillow shade, use a lightsource.

 

 

 

Also try to add a background.

 

 

 

That face is also very weird.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's not really good

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

^.^ Who said first are bad ^.^

Bit harsh imo

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

like mentioned, add a lightsource, and stick to it, otherwise your character looks like cylinders almost

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

your shading technique, isnt too bad tbh, though the pixels are too random, try to only use dots to "fade in" another colour, and dont be afraid to use straight colour (as in, not "dotted" but purely filled) to add that extra bold sense of shade

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

your proportions are also off m8, draw stick men, and then add muscles to give a good rough figure for your characters, its a basic 5 minute procedure, but it can really make your characters, look physically accurate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

pixel sigs are all about detail, so you definatly need to add more to your background, lava, rocks, grass, anything, but keep it detailed and looking crisp, without distracting your audience from your sigs main feature

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hope this helps you out buddy, and btw that face on your dudes hilarious, maybe it could be your trademark, to have well detailed sigs with wacky faces :D

You couldnt have only used paint... paint cant do animation

No it's not. If we all tel him it's very good, he's going to think it's really good. Then it's very hard for him to improve.
