reddawn509 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Well, I have been wondering why my pixle art is not the same quality as my hand drawn art, and it hit me, Most pixelers take weeks or even months to finish their peices, and it takes me a few hours at most. I was not taking my time. I would get lazy and jsut try to finish as soon as possible, which greatly hurt my quality. So, I am making a new peice, that I am taking my time on, and seeing the result, so far I am very pleased.My anatromy is not perfect right now, but it would smooth out during the singeutre making process..o.0, I will be adding legs next update :oops: anyways...... Update, changed the anatomy and fixed the sheild. Added legs :mrgreen: , character 2 too come once character 1 is perfect...then background. Not sure what it is, I'm wrestling between two torags warriors standing like body gurads next to a person in the generic rich person stuff, with a pile of riches, but tha seems a bit cliche, or some sort of fighting scene.... anyways... Update, I fixed up anatomy, and added some texture to the armor, changed the arm, used alot of GS's advice to fix up anatomy, fixed boots... Added a few more colors... coming along nicly, might finish by the end of the week, doubtful though.. Update, messed around with anatomy now, much more realistic I'm thinking.. I am having problems making the armor look more like armor, but i textured a bit more anyway....I also fixed (our) left foot, it looked odd...I will probably start character 2 soon... I have been pixelling alot today, which is why there are so many updates.. Update.... I added a dragon :mrgreen: ..I have decided the background will be an arena, where the torags person is preparing to fight the dragon..... This is just the starting on the dragon, It will be finished soon.. Update.. Walls! I have added the start of the arena background, the bricks are a pain, but they look nice so it's worth it, havent pixeled much today, so I havent done much... I also fixed some small anatomy problems. if you read this post, please at least leave a comment, I would really like C/C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel104 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 The guy is holding the whip wrong and the shading on the muscles has too much contrast. Also maybe the shield should be held more naturaly? It would help if you didnt put a dark pixel aginst a dark background soit would be easyer to see.

reddawn509 Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 well, in refernce to the guy holding the whip wrong, his hand is turned to the side. I like the contrast of the muscles, but I will take the sheild comment into account, seeing at it does look a little odd. Thanks for the comment :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nazgul740 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 There is no "natural" way to hold a shield is there, if so please show me lol and on topic, i like the helm it is pretty sweet, 7/10 um.... have you ever used a shield... its completely natural when its strapped to the weak arm... Anyway, except for a few anatomy problems i think it looks real nice... one thing i would change is the upper rh of the guys head... it looks a bit odd New sigzor^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjb21 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 you can have it so the shield is on the floor and the character is leaning against it, ill do a quick example.... not just an example, but also shading practice for those who want =) yeah, i took it too far, first the shield, then the well... you get the idea.... PJB21 100% my own work, i make my own brushes: set 1 set 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
