deloriagod Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 When I look at this piece the first thing I notice is the castle. It's a bit blocky, but it is your first after all. The biggest thing you need to do with it, is get it off of the horizon. Move it down some so that it seems to be sitting on the ground, instead of having to use your imagination (pretending the castle is on a hill, behind the one you can see). Nex thing.. Shading. I can see a little bit, but it's very subtle. And I'd suggest dithering instead of pillow shading. ;) That's all I'm going to say. I don't want to be harsh since this is your first.

Vito_Blade Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I thought it was against the rules to not be harsh in CC. :? :lol: "We'll bring the sexy back to judging >_>." --Nadril Bleh, once I get off my lazy bum and go to Imageshack, there will be a picture here.

eckered Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 :D v2 is even beter =) great job on your first. @ deloriagod- dude he didnt pillow shade... do you even know what pillow shading is? lol @ vito- nope, we can beat him down untill he bleads right up untill we start flaming, then we have to stop : deloria *looks at the "statement" in your sig* was actually right about the way you placed it on the hill. move it down slightly so that its not "on top" but its not "underneeth" wop wop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Alex85 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 @ vito- nope, we can beat him down untill he bleads right up untill we start flaming, then we have to stop : Shomeone git mah hammer... I agree with the others for shading. I suggest making the moon a bit brighter, so you can more clearly see it's the light source. Or something like that. And aye, bringing the castle down a bit. Just work on some of these things. ;P Not bad fora first. It really has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIFs are (in)famous of their rude treatment of new pixelers I could have just purely crush your work as I usually do, but this time I felt that I could be a good person for once [Star Wreck][PM me][My gallery][DeviantArt][Cool T-shirts!][iron Sky - Trailer is now out!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winsauce, we aren't harsh, we're just not leading the poster into a false sense of achievement. We don't say do more and post them all, we ask for them to practice by themselves first then post their best one. From there we can help more. Seriously, first signatures are never usually good. Pixel, abstract or 3D - their rarely good for a first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runemetsa Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hmm maybe I chose my words wrong, people aren't harsh, but in TIF you don't get any extra praises for your work.

eckered Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 =p maby you guys havent herd, but our nicknames on other forums is the "pixelers nightmare"... lol we are known for our sw33t pixelers and our willingness to beat the crap outta new pixelers rofl... call us harsh, but i just think of it as us not giving false hope out =p wop wop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffle_Man_J Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 The shading isn't too bad for a first try, the stars are a little ugly though, make them a light blue rather than bright white. To be honest it's just a castle at the moment... you need some sort of focus point to make this picture mean something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That made me laugh! You are so [developmentally delayed]ed, you truly are, a moron. No, Tip.It doesn't have that name, although there is some great pixel artists in this Forum, we don't have that stupid sense of a name.

Although, runemetsa, you are 100% wrong with your statement saying you don't get extra praises for your work in TIF. I never said that people would get no praises. What I meant is that unless work is absolutely amazing, we don't USUALLY give overpositive feedback as much as in other forums. You do get praises, but not too many. and this is just my opinion [Star Wreck][PM me][My gallery][DeviantArt][Cool T-shirts!][iron Sky - Trailer is now out!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
