Myu Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Here's the initial sketch I did for my entry. Posting because I'm not sure I'll be able to finish because I have a lot on my plate right now. I'm having a lot of fun trying out pixellating, because it's a completely new technique for me. I've learned a lot just trying to get photoshop to work properly to be able to work pixel by pixel. I hope everyone has as much fun as I do entering this contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was something someone had already drawn and you just did same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a pixel, and i observe pixel signatures very often. I can see what you mean by the thick lines which aren't 1 shade with the Man in the art for example, but I think that's from the Win7 version of paint where you can change brush size and what not and get weird shady black lines and whatnot, so should be fine :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iglw Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Oh, wow. You can't pixel in paint anymore? ._o That's a bit disappointing. Still toiling away at my entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandorf61 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Just checked myself and you should still be able to use the pencil tool which doesn't anti-alias the lines that are drawn.

Omnitec Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 The pencil tool is fine and acts as it always has done, but when you increase it's width/the paintbrush width it doesn't really pixel anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iglw Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Ah I see. I tried the pencil tool out and it's almost the same. One slight difference is that sometimes when you're drawing a curve on win7, it automatically removes a few pixels to make it smoother. But only if you draw it in one quick motion. Stole this from Chaos' pixel guide to illustrate what I'm talking about. It's hardly noticeable and it doesn't remove all the errant pixels, but interesting nonetheless. I use Graphics Gale anyhow :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaida23 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I know it's nowhere near perfect shading, but I really like the style. c/c is good.I really like it, hawkxs. It's very Vincent van Gogh-like. :thumbup: Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero.

Anyway, what would make it illegal and not a "pixel" drawing? :???: Summoning help:[hide=Wio, lol][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_sunny Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Question: Can we enter a piece of art that we have worked on prior to this contest? By popular demand, this signature is back- however I currently do not have a blog up at the moment and if I did I wouldn't update it. Sorry, the sig links to nowhere :( .

Kaida23 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 O. M. G. :shock: I'm so jealous of the talent you guys have. :thumbsup: Old, yours looks like it could have been from one of those old Sierra games from the early 90's.

Gbpackers31 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Dang, you guys are good. I'm working on something atm; I hope I can get it done in time, though it may not be much of use now with these recent entries :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iglw Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I think this competition is Firing Up. I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!! :shades: Here's my entry. A personal best I think. These things take such a ridiculous amount of time to do. ._.Haven't decided whether or not I want to resize it for a sig for myself or give it away or something. /shrug! Kudos to C14 for keeping pixelling alive on these forums. I miss the old days when the Gallery was more active. I might stay a while and make a few more of these this summer if I manage to get faster at it. :P Edit: Man, I wish I'd done this for the dg themed RS gallery earlier this month, maybe I'll send it in anyways.
