l2Ol3El2TO Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Started with: Wanted Some Shading: 1) Added water with a rock and seaweed on it. Added a spinolyp: 2) Changed the spinolyp so it blends more, made the cape longer: 3) Changed the Guthan's plate so it had some more texture: 4) Finished the water line: 5) Textured water: 6) Didn't like water, added curve to slay dart: 7) Did whatever to the water, dunno if I like it: 8) Did whatever to the background, dunno if I like it either: 9) Rounded off the blocky edges on Rex: 10) Added text, smoothed out water, I'm finally done: http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/76/d ... tedmd2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 It looks partialy traced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkjestrup Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 umm ever heard of dithering? aaing? you need some tuts. try DH's tut (demented hero for those mentally challenged) be creative with the border and the text doesn't suite the ground he's on has horrible shading and the shading on the guthans needs atleast two more colours and dithering. If your still stuck pm a good pixeler (Ter, b2d, faelenof, hiimbem,mgdh, mxm etc) Thanks Terly for the best Avatar in TipIt -winks- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smapla Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 it looks really really traced... who would make guthan that fat by choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faelenof Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 It does look traced, for sure. :-k But, I dunno, I actually quite like the style. :P Has a different feel to it, not like the generic ones that everyone does (me included). I like the water, nicely done. You could dither the ground a little more, and add a bit more detail into it, as it just looks like one smooth, flat rock-thing, and that's a little boring. :P The DK's left arm has an odd position, as if it's in between it's legs, so fiddle with the outline there. Speaking of outlines, the really dark outlines on the Guthans and the spinolyp make them seem a little out of place though. Overall, traced, but has a style that I find interesting. :) Pixel Artist - Former Player Mod - Former Tip.It ModNot taking sig requests - sorry!

l2Ol3El2TO Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 I didn't trace, but I did used a refrence. I marked grids on both pictures and went from there... It seems everyones pointing out what I do wrong and shoving it down my throat, it's only my first one, please go easy. I remember tip.it'ers being nice and friendly, but now.. geeze.. http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/76/d ... tedmd2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems everyones pointing out what I do wrong and shoving it down my throat, it's only my first one, please go easy. I remember tip.it'ers being nice and friendly, but now.. geeze.. To be honest... It's called constructive criticism. They point out the things you did wrong in your sig, so you can make it better. They're not just shoving it down your throat to be mean. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your own style is my advice. Copying the scene you see ingame is nearly as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenshi Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Copying is the first step to getting better at drawing.. :wink: I copied stuff (no tracing, only copying a reference) for about a year before I began drawing my own pictures well. Onto the sig: You need more textures and "interesting objects" in your signature - the ground wouldn't be that flat either. You've made the color difference between each shade much too big...it doesn't look real anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomdavies90 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 looks more like a vector (the way its blocky colours and very similar to the actual RS characters) rather than a pixel, but good none the less Sig by me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf2000 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I like really like the water :) you should try to texture the ground, too. pixel sig and avatar by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My_Eggs Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Did you use a blur tool or something on the water? Cause I highly doubt that you pixeled this: I did a color count on just a small area and came up with 17 colors... 99 HP, Attack, Strength, Defence, Summoning, Ranged, Herblore, Prayer, Agility, Magic, Slayer, Fletching, Fishing, Woodcutting, Mining, and Thieving. Jagex'd out of my untrimmed hp cape on 6/14/2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinslayer777 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Just a little note about text: I kept on reading "Miss Ion Boy" and thinking -huh? Why is "she" a miss, but a boy? It reads as Miss Ion Boy, not MissionBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hevendor_Guy Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Quite good. Very good for a first pixel :), but the ground's shading could use some work. There's cake through here, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
