pjb21 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 tbh i prefer the expression on the original, and the looking off to the left, it looks much batter imo. also im not so sure about the redness of her skin that you [ter] did, it makes it look sunburnt... however ters edit of the torso looks much better =) PJB21 100% my own work, i make my own brushes: set 1 set 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echofish Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 ok my crits would be this.. About her proportions I would say that her head is slightly too high, and her neck is too straight, usually necks curve out to the neck.. Look at her ear position, its way too low.. Her right eye needs to move a few pixels right, imagine if she was looking straight on, her right eye would be too far over imo.. Your linework could be made to look so much more smoother if you just took care where you place your pixels.. As for your palette you really need more contrast to add depth to your image, with your skin tones add more warmth to your darker shades by moving your colour selector slightly towards the red.. But I really love the posture and general design of this so far, I couldn't help making an edit :wall: its so hard to simply explain anything without showing someone what ya mean. Make sure you've got a lightsource, it looks as if the lights coming from the left because of the highlights but the darker shades dont suggest the same.. Hope my edit shows how you could possible improve your character's face and general shading.. Didn't want to simply finish it off for you because all I really wanted to do is illustrate what I mean about contrast.. The additional smoothness is just added AA and dithering which I personally wouldn't be worried about, your doing great so far.. :thumbsup: Woaah nice =P~ Now how am I supposed to do that? Better start working then! I'm a bit of a newbie so I'm gonna ask this: What's AA and Dithering? I'll go have a look at the FAQ for some tips. I guess I should pay a bit more attention to the shading. Thanks for the edit, it helped alot : Ultra Unholy,Hearted Machine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortress2000 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 You, go on Terley, come in and slap us all in the cheeks again, why don't you... :x Joking. :D Anyway, not sure how many times I've posted in this topic, but I'll give one last comment, then I'm off. Nice job on the sig, and Ter, nice job on editing it. :thumbsup: Writing in colour was fun while it lasted...The Tip.It. Furry! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terley Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 oh thx, its hard to explain in words but its just making the most of your palette to make the transition between two shades less 'sudden'.. Take this squiggle for example, its just black on white, which looks a bit rough, by adding a grey half way in between the black and white and placing them where you think it would make it look smoother does it fact help it become smoother.. And to increases the smootheness even more why not add lighter grey and doing the same to the previous shade? added some other colours etc.. the shades you add to AA can just be the ones you used to shade with, all you're doing is travelling through from dark to light / one colour through to another... dithering is similar but adds the illustion of smoothness without the addition of more colours by patterning pixels, basically interlacing two colours/shades.. different patterns can give textured effects, just experiment to see what works for what you're dithering.. you should be able to see were I've used these two methods.. Red arrows are dithering and purple is AA.. lol.. but really these aren't essential in pixel art, they're just methods of smoothening where you feel needs smoothening, some people do it everywhere even where its totally not needed.. Don't be one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3M0NX Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Terley, thats cool and i like how you poste the dithering. I saved it so that i could look at it for later use.(The dithering pic.)

headshot007111 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Thats pretty good :) But maybe shade the scimmy a bit more, make it look a bit 3D. ~Guide to Solo'ing the KBD~ 99 Cooking | 99 Firemaking | 99 Attack | 99 defense | 99 Hitpoints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryoushinn Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 That's really good! I like it. =) Only thing i can advise is to add more detail to the scimitar, why make the drawing so great and put little detail into the sword? The top of her head and breasts look kinda flat, but overall, i love it. Great job! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irulepoker Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Ammy needs some work on becoming circular, and the shirt needs to be low cut, as with your character.
