I know that much, but I think it is a kind of useless crit as I am not stupid. I am doing an art GCSE and have only got the shades I need, in most cases I have had to add in extra shade as it did not blend correctly in the eye.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And in the case of my current sig I think it is perfectl justifiable due to the sher number of textures etc involved.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I did do a check and the 3 front characters are only 75 (roughly) colours on thier own which isn't too bad then the background has alot of colours due to various textures althouhg I honestly can't tell where thoose 800 odd shades in the bg are as I can only figure out about 90 shades at most in it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

..you'll understand one day and be shamefull of yourself, mark my words, write them down and memorize them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it's the reality.

 

 

 

i'm not trying to bring you down, i'm just trying to educate you and so are GS and Teenage.

 

No one gives CC to annoy anyone, I'm fairly certain people have better things to do than to piss someone off on purpose in the media boards (at least around here). People are just trying to help you, if they gave you a lot of crits then you'll just have to fix all the problems till you can satisfy way more people

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was nothing to do with having crits, it was just a complete useless crit. As it was critisising me for having something like 954 colours in my current sig. Where as I think, as most do as far as I know, it is better to go for quality rather than cutting inbetween shades out so it looks worse juts so it has less colours.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All other crits I am fine with, even if I do have a thing about ignoring them at first and I know they are stuff to work on each time (eg character chins, my d-hide texture, proportions still aren't quite right etc etc)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There's no set number of colors needed for a piece to look great, art could have as few as a couple colors or it can have thousands, what matters is how you use them. What I think happened is that you used all those colors but just not in the right way, try again with the same number of colors in a very different way, or try fewer colors in the old way. You never know what can happen with experimentation and you might even be surprised.

Seriously I don't purposefully go for hundreds of colours. I generally do 3 tone shading then add in colours where it doesn't blend in the eye.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know the 900 is a bit ott and to be honest I have no idea where half of them are in the sig, but I do know they are needed to make it work how it is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And as for me being shameful of my words that ain't gonna happen. I know when I have done everything in my pwoer to achieve something without comprimising the quality of it and i don't do shame anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I do know I got a long way to improve whihc isn't surprising since I have dun a grand total of 2 pixels. But I do know that I cannot remove any colours from the 900 without making something look wrong or removing parts

Ehm well, here's some list of good pixelers (IMO..) These are in no particular (or whatever) order.

no shame? that's an illusion you tell yourself.. it doesn't exist.

 

 

 

however what i meant is you'll atleast regret.. since your sig isn't perfect, such a thing does not exist either.

 

 

 

you are right that you have much to learn, we have much to learn everybody has allot to learn and the only way to learn is to try, try using less colors.

 

 

 

and that was the lesson of today. (once again don't get me wrong)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

now lets move on with the topic of today... and forget this convo ever came up.

Umm my favorites are probably:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Misterxman

 

 

 

JP

 

 

 

Terly/playboy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But dont worry, ill try to work my way up to one of these lists :wink:

 

 

 

(Maybe :wink: :roll: :wink: )

had to say:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

no particular order at all

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

kinkydave- Dang dude, that all i got to say, VERY VERY detailed!! lol but all his people are skinny!

 

 

 

playboy-my god!! they look soooo real!!

 

 

 

mxm-known him for a long time see most all of his sigs and loved them all

 

 

 

princessa9-very good at detail from waht i have seen whenever she comes around

 

 

 

milenin- just now saw him, and man that is some style, pretty cool

 

 

 

jab-he makes some COOl stuff!!

 

 

 

Teezkut- i liked his cool style on the huge pic he just made in media market

 

 

 

fox red- he made me a sig

me

 

 

 

myself

 

 

 

I

Don't ask me to pick 3 cus they're all great in their own particular ways. No order.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DementedHero - very original and superb work, would love to see more pixel work from him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TJ - Very happy cartoony work, visually amazing but could use some hand lessons.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Random - Very clean work, Looks as pixel art should be, from the word go was creating quality work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Misterxman - Very friendly and talented person, contant worker and shows no bad attitude even with the constant complaints that he's getting worse (yeah right :roll: ).. Will always be almong the best, has been my idol since the beginning

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Godslayer - A very opinionated guy, very talented but would rather he didn't think as much of himself, he name has kinda got to his head.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quer Skulll - Taught me how to shade properly, always loved his work way before I knew how to pixel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

teenagelooser - great guy and great at making sigs, pitty he hasn't made anything in a while.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

princessa9 - always loved her style and characters though I've never had the chance to get to know her :cry:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jabraulter - remember some quite good stuff from him, always improvin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

smellysocks - weird style but he spends a lot of time on his sigs. shoulda got more support than he got, could potentially be really good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

kinkydave - an amazing sense of detail and effort, though he should move away from pillow shading in places, and darkening things too much.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some others that come to mind is Blazer, Chunk 04, Punkage, Sir Alex

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyone else I haven't mentioned is prolly down to me not knowing them or simply forgetting, if so sorry :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

~Ter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah well, I'm just too awesome for you. :D Seriously though, I am opinionated, and it doesnt really bother me that it looks like stuffs gone to my head, I mean, this is just some forum. Anyway, I don't hang out enough to flaunt my opinionations overlymuch, so I think you'll live. I'm entitled to moodswings. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Love you too Terly :lol: )

all time fav =

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TJ, his recent stuff is just simply amazing, many people can be detail, but few can use detail to the lvl that TJ has. his stuff are just freaken amazing, i stare at them hours ever day. :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

then my next would be. terly. lov the stuff weather it's pixel or real life art. nice stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then i would have to say god slayer. amazing what he can do, people don't seem to appricate the stuff that he makes, so small yet so much detail.

misterxman all the way :)
