dark_shadow Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 well. got bored. thought 'hey, its almost christmas' and opened paint. started making the sleigh.. then when the sleigh was done realised it was at a REALLY bad angle.. but i continued anyway. this is what i have so far still gotta fix the reindeer's 'anatomy', add another reindeer on the far side of the reindeer (Cause theyll be harnessed in pairs) i originally wanted to do santa on a roof with a night time view of a small village with lights.. but cant do that now cause of the dodgy angle. ideas for a bg? CC and any comments/ideas appreciated update: the deer took a few hours to do another update: tried to make the santa look fatter, added the second deer, tried to make the sleigh more 3d. added the dark blue bg to make it easier to see the sleigh and deers medium sized update. started making linework for an approx bg. angles need to be fixed, lots of stuff looks wrong. going to add gardens, finish the houses, trees, maybe a dog, some mailboxes, rubbish bins, and a mountain scene behind, gonna have snow on the ground if i can master doing snow.. i know its a dodgy idea but its all i could come up with, considering the really dodgy angle of the sleigh and deers. as you can see, its no longer sig-size... new update: fixed up a lot of the perspective, made it all 1pt perspective instead of the random, whatever-you-call it made up perspective. looking much better IMO. gotta figure out how to merge the hills and sky with the back of the houses. suggestions?

mixand Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Wow i really love it! I can't wait to see it done! :D the only thing i see wrong is that the back of hes arm is to straight and the rope isn't inside hes hand. And are you going to make him on top of a roof? that would look cool "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel AdamsMy new site. [bETA] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 looks great his far but a little flat... :anxious: i'm working on a special christmas pixel also but i think its a little bigger... (dam... 1024x768). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_shadow Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 update; the deer took a surprisingly long time to do! the reins do go through his hands, you'll see when i actually colour them. its how your supposed to hold reins when riding a horse; the reins go between your thumb and fore finger, and around your three middle fingers, and back out between your little finger. you end up with a little loop bit at the bottom Featuring in my sig: TURT, ma pet turdle!

cool4life Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 horses dont have horns and your sleigh only has one metal bar thingy to glide on also your horse needs to have a nice bushy tail. Edit: here is a santa helper horsey maybe you should add anther horn U KNOW IM AT POPEYAS GETNG TAHT CHIKEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_shadow Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Its not a horse, its a reindeer. besides, i know what horses look like, ive done plenty of pixels with them in before. also just decided ima gonna change the harness on the reindeer. really dont like it..

Qwality Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I love the reindeer (not in a literal sense :-$ ) but his [rear] looks a little flat, but i guess once you add a bg it'll have a litle mor 'pop' to it :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_shadow Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 actually the reindeer is a female, as with the deers used by santa :D (the males dont have their antlers in winder, xmas time, only the females do) it probably dosnt look very 3D cause i forgot to add muscles to the back end of the deer :oops: im also going to fix some things with the sleigh, hopefully make it a bit more 3D. also going to add a dog standing on top of the prezzie bags in the sleigh. going to add a second reindeer behind the first (cause theyre harnessed in pairs) and fix up the antlers Featuring in my sig: TURT, ma pet turdle!

cool4life Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I forgot to add your santa needs to be way fater. also maybe you could make the sleigh more 3d even though its at a bad angle? U KNOW IM AT POPEYAS GETNG TAHT CHIKEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 pretty good shading done on the reindeer, but the upper part of his/her body is suddenly white. maybe make it a bit more smooth looking and then i think its a realy good reindeer : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_shadow Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 do you mean the neck of the reindeer? i used a reference pic of a 'deer to see where the different colours start and stop. if the harness wasnt there it'd look better.. i think.. lol. considering doing a reindeer without the harness cause i like how it turned out :) Featuring in my sig: TURT, ma pet turdle!

dark_shadow Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 updated! tried to make the santa look fatter, added the second deer, tried to make the sleigh more 3d. added the dark blue bg to make it easier to see the sleigh and deers Featuring in my sig: TURT, ma pet turdle!

Faelenof Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Update is much better, in my opinion, but the deers look sort of cloned (not accusing you of copy+paste, but their poses are very similar). Maybe if you could have one of them doing something different by making their head either thrown backwards or leaning forwards. My other nitpick is possibly the straps - they don't quite look right... once again I don't really know how to explain it. >< Keep it up. :) Pixel Artist - Former Player Mod - Former Tip.It ModNot taking sig requests - sorry!

Darrel104 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Your shading needs to be a lot darker at the edges, it made a huge diffrence when i did it just to see if it would look good. The same thing will work good on the bags too(i think). Your left side of the sled seems like it could use some aa. Edit: right i mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_shadow Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 not worried about aaing atm, cause the bg is going to change. i know, the deer look cloned, though i did do the second one seperatly. will make the one in the bg with its head down, as if its maybe pawing the ground Featuring in my sig: TURT, ma pet turdle!

Darrel104 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 WOW thats going to be a lot of work but looks really cool so far. Anyway i think that the side walk comes out from the street crooked. You need add lines to the houses and chimney to make them more 3d. The main prolblem with your work is that you need to shade the edges to make the stuff look more 3d, right now it looks flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_shadow Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 lines as in... perspective lines, show where the house/ chimney recedes to? i know, still havnt done those yet. theres something wrong with the perspective, think its the angle of the footpathes on either side of the road, but cant figure out how to fix it Featuring in my sig: TURT, ma pet turdle!
