Aussie_King Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 So am I 8) It sucks, use paint, not windows image editor. And definately not photoshop, leave that to the abstract, tech, grunge etc. Sig makers. Do you own shading... The mountains look like they've been done right though... Add me ingame: Lnterest. I am back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanosauromo Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 I used neither paint, windows image editor, photoshop, or gimp. I used AppleWorks. Ah, the glory of using a Mac. :) You only have to type four extra keys for me to not think "ur" an idiot.solardeathray.teensupergenius.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanosauromo Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 People are saying that I didn't really shade it, I just used a gradient tool. Well, I did shade it. I made the layers of differant colors, from light to dark, etc. But then I used the "blend" tool to sort of morph the colors into each other. If that's against the "10 commandments of pixel art" or whatever, i'm sorry. I'll try to avoid the blend button next time.

imhomer Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I used neither paint, windows image editor, photoshop, or gimp. I used AppleWorks. Ah, the glory of using a Mac. :) Ahmen mah brotha! :lol: I give it a 5/10. It's pretty empty aside from the main action, there needs to be more background than mountains and a sandbox or whatever that is. As for the blend tool, yes it is against the "Pixeler's 10 Commandments". Many people see blending as cheating on shading. I like the job you did on the sand despite the blending. The line work overall is pretty good although there's something wierd about his cape. My suggestion: Add some trees, don't use blend, and keep on trying.

Goldwolflord Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 That is totally sweet! Just do something with his face... It doesn't quite look right. Maybe it's the mouth. Other than that, it's fantabulous! Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldwolflord Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Also, Put some houses in the background, similar to Catherby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanosauromo Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 I realize it's kind of empty, but i thought I should start simple. I am not very good at drawing really small stuff. And yeah, the cape does look odd. It's too bright. Looks like it's inside out.

RcS89 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Also try adding a border. Just a 1 pixel black line makes it look better :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanosauromo Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 Yeah, I know. I realized I forgot the border just as I finished uploading and posting it.
