August 12, 200619 yr Well, I was flicking through this forum and thought, hey, why don't I make myself a pixel avatar! :D I mean, I have always wanted one but no-one would do it. So I thought I would give it a go. I started shading it and merging the colours for effect. Here is the end result! :arrow: It looks like a mirror!!! As this is my first try, please don't flame me but give me CC. Remember, this is only a practice so I will make more in the future! :thumbsup: And here is my second! I am always doing night, seeing as I am better at it, so I tried a daytime avatar, let's just say I won't be doing many of them for a long time... #-o Well, I am asking for CC for BOTH of them now but don't flame please :XD: Click my signature for my blog!
August 12, 200619 yr looks good. Keep practicing and u'll be able to make better ones Denizen of Darkness| PSN= sworddude198
August 12, 200619 yr Your light source is coming from the left but the rock looks like it was just random spray painting. Define the lighter areas first then place the darker ones in, from there you work on making the smooth transitions between the colors. For shading you could: Use few colors with big differnces in the shade and dither them together. or Use many colors that are very close and just place them next to eathother so it makes a smooth transition. Also your waterfall has an input but where is its output, where does it go after it hits the ground? I got nothing for the water, im no good at water. Isn't it lovely how having an opinion makes you hated around here?
August 12, 200619 yr Author The water with no output was done on purpose, it had nowhere to go so I left it like that. :wall: The shading, thanks for the input put I did try both of them, the grass was done with dithering and the sky was done with the smooth close colours. Any other input by anyone? Oh and I need to work on the rocks, I suck at shading rocks #-o Click my signature for my blog!
August 12, 200619 yr Just make the water flow over the edge so it looks like that bottom was just a bump or a stop and not the end. Combat 116+; Total 1900+; All Hard Tasks; (Nearly) All quest points; (Nearly) All skills 60+; An aquatic moose ninja.Currently: Using 63 hunter to get some of those "Chins", then I'm going to range stuff down. Interruptions of agility when I feel like it, as well.And lucky enough to get 4 Dragon and 6 Barrow Drops.[hide]Kwimbob now looks exactly like me in real life except for hair color. Yes, this means I look exactly like the protagonist of that certain anime that my second character, Faye_V is also named after. Yes, I bought a jacket that also looks like his. No in real life I don't have a slain bear to sling over my shoulders. Yes, I'm that skinny even if I no-life it for years in basements. No, I can't shoot a gun. Yes, I can win any other strategic video game you have never played - because I probably have, ahahaha. And yes, I also have brown eyes, yet one of my eyes looks different from the other. And yes, I'm completely oblivious to the [real] world around me as I constantly engineer new solutions to daily problems in my head. When I get hungry, all that isn't food can wait. When I'm sleepy - nothing is of any priority in front of sleep. But at any other time, I never slow down. Never give up. Never Surrender. Makes for a good life.[hide]YOU'RE GONNA CARRY THAT WEIGHT.- See You, Space Cowboy.[/hide][/hide]

August 13, 200619 yr The rock is a bit messy, it looks like you used the spray thingy on it.... maybe use something like the pencil and different shades of grey... Quit Runescape 30th May 2006.Thanks to Hawkxs for my signature :)
