ooooo i c ty

The straps in your sig are a tad too straight. Your body isn't made out of planks, is it? IS IT?

you need to dither more

 

 

 

that will decrease the colors used and make shading more gradual

 

 

 

click here if u need help with it or ask terley or other good pixellers

Ya I'll change it as soon as i get home. My friends house has ps and e.t.c but I'll lose the layers I had so that isn't such a good idea! :-k I know what you mean't and you changed it but I could do it better then you did. (you rushed it didn't you?) I'll work on making it not so flat and have bumps to allow or the abs and breast mucsles(spelling?) any way thanks

can someone like punkage, terly etc show me how to make decent pl8 legs. I've seen punkages guide but the pl8legs on it aren't bent

I may do it, but the pose is irking me.

Good god, man!

Changed my mind I'm going to have a ice giant instead. I need help with dithering... :ohnoes:

 

 

 

What should I put as backround

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Ok after lots of thinking I've made up my mind. I will have him standing on ice killing an Ice giant thats in the water. Instead of being topless he will have veracs top on so that won't be a big change. I'm making him gloveless too. I'm shading his head and torso then I'll do legs . C/C PLEASE I HAVEN'T HAD A POST IN AGES!!!

 

 

 

nice

oh lol ok dkjestrup Ill help ya out a bit more tmz, but im kinda busy atm. what I can tell ya for now is your perspective and layout is very cliche' , try put more depth into your image, look at icey landscapes, frozen lakes etc to help ya get the colours looking right, your characters proportions are off, mines not a great example of proportions (just wanted to illustrate how you could initially approach such a character) try plan out your characters skeleton frame before adding too much detail if you don't sort out stances, proportions ect before hand its just a pain trying to fix it later on. I like your progress so far, its much better.. hope ya dnt mind if I make another edit to sketch out what id love to see this lookin like. Ill do that tmz.

lol terly I wasn't asking for help I was wondering if I could use your guy's legs on my guy (just the linework)? If not then I need help!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

here is mine with your legs.If You dont like the gray its cause I'm going for the stoned look ( :D ) anyway I know it looks 2d but can you show me how to change that?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT I know I should use stick figures but at moment I'm concentrating to get it done. My Next Pixel I will scan Linework on pc from my own drawing

nope ur not allowed to use other peoples work, eyeball it whilst your drawing your own to see how you can improve it.

ok terly I get your point I studied your legs very hard and made some similair. Here they are. Any Good?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ok wow... im sorry but this is really bugging me... PLEASE DO NOT PUT AN UNFINISHED WIP IN YOUR SIG!!!!!! it gives people the feeling that it is finished and (no offence) in its current state is not very pleasing to the eye....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i know you plan on making it cartoony but here is just a basic thin on anatomy

 

 

 

 

 

 

if ypu looka t yours his leg and arm are disconnected and have no joints, the one I made is, as still being cartoony, more of a "posible" position

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

also the shading, use MORE contrast in colors and use more realistic shading.

It's my first pixel so I'm just trying to get it done at present. I will do a plan like that on my next.

its really giving me a bad headache right now... could you like use tranparency or something since i eneded up havig to block it so I dont get sick.

no I don't I guess I explained it wrong, depending on the colour you've chosen, to darken it you move through the spectrum towards blue (blue indicates cold, dark) and if you want to lighten a colour move closer to yellow (which indicates light - warm). In this example below shows what I mean. Instead of simply lightening and darking a colour like usual, using the spectrum combined adds so much more to your colouring.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

may not be the best example becuase I just did this really quickly but I hope you get what I mean.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Terley, do you see everything in infa-red or something? :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, the sig is turning out alright. But I've always wondered, why is his eyes closed?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7.5/10, I think thsi deserves... :-k

just wondering...

 

 

 

He is killing an ent right? And ents are like living trees? So - where's that quite fresh looking blood in his sword from?

The shading on the tree vs. the ent looks like the light source is coming from inbetween them so that may be wrong if you arnt doing a fireball or something.

 

 

 

The tree shading is a little flat, looks like you only have a light side and a dark when it is susposed to be a cylinder and my eyes would like a litle more contrast in them because it is kind of hard to get the round shape idea when my eyes look at them.

 

 

 

To sum it al up: I like your shading but i think you should use at least 3 diffrent colors instead of 2 with a third drawn over Both so you cant reall see it and you should have the lightest and darkest side differ more. Also make sure the light souce is common among objects if it is not on the page.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

edit: i made a example but excuse me for it sucking its mostly because i suck at art and i filled in the color with the line tool and then air brushed it along the bounds of diff colors, becuase of that i messed up the lines of your roots. Also i made the tree's width more gradual since it only gets smaller at the roots and the rest of the way up it is straight. I made the lightest color in the tree lighter but kept the dark because i thought the tree was too dark comparedto the rest of your pic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ps: i think your right tree root is too [bleep]y and usally ents have a main tree stem with leaves and such with 2 limbs coming out that sort of look like hand. Anther option is just making it look like a runescape ent witch i think is dumb(tree with evil look).

 

 

 

Terley, do you see everything in infa-red or something? :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

haha, maybe.. I gotta say tho im not telling people how to colour, there's no right or wrong way, artists through the years have proved that, some methods just work, just be creative..

here is the wrong way to shade a tree:

 

 

 

sry terley but i dont think it would be applied to a tree too well... only a slim chance to be proven wrong.
