Alright, so this is what I have so far:

 

 

 

 

 

 

(The dots are where the lights are going to go)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I'm trying to make it look like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But I need help making the rays of light. I can't just make a solid dark background, because then the shirts won't show up. So i was wondering if any good pixelers could give me some suggestions on how to make the rays. All help is appreciated, thanks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah, also give comments about the linework so far and post anything you think I should change.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

edit: I tried to do it, and it didn't come out too good... :(

i hope i m not breakin any rules by postin his work..

The floor you could do as black. The shirts should be a dark purple (generaly people use a very dark purple, instead of pure black, for darkness. Those shirts seem to match it well. perhaps have some blue to it though.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see the lighting is coming from everywhere, however you have the advantage of already seeing where the shadows and highlights will be cast. What I would do is simply get a roiugh color of everything, and then get the lights , than finaly work on the highlights / ect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

as far as the ray's go, most of them are nice 'n blue. I'd sugest doing a nice light blue for the start of it, and shade as needed. (the two middle ones you could do dithering almost tooo for the entire light, "might" work if you do a right style for it, you'd still see behind it a bit)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hope this helps.

Thanks a lot guys, this helped. I am gonna try PMing terley and see what he has to say.

hmm.. i'd check out the ambient lighting tutorial on http://www.spriteart.com too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not sure if you'd need it or not though.

Thanks a lot Nadril :)

i like the attempt u made..

 

 

 

only try to make it a lil more gradual.. i think

 

 

 

terley can help us on this and hes not comin lol

I think yours is great, if you REALLY want to change it instead of cutting off the colour changes in the light with a straight line, try bending it either into the source or towards the ending to see what kind of effect it makes! But make the blue guys a lighter blue :D .

For effects like that it's normal a job for photoshop but if you want to pixel it then Terley your man

my keyboard is broke, im copyin n pastin letters 1 by 1.. :( :( sry..

add shading into your attempt..and itll be good
