Lord-Gabriel Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 You may have seen it before, as I posted progress, I read many texture gides ect and came up with this: (UPDATE: look at posts towards the bottom for new version) Any comments suggestions? The above was all done in paint except for the party hat. And below I took the above to "PhotoSuites" and did some effects: Tiled: Grainy: Western/Old Just some weird random stuff..lol Anyways I want critisism to help me improve also, do you like any of the "effected" versions? and any other comments. Thanks! Note this is the first computer art project I've done and I spent weeks working on it trying to make it look good. I have lot of versions for this sig, so I guess it's not my first ever, but an evolution of it :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowgravity Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Background is like "wow this was done by a pro" and then I see the character. The background compared to the character is an incredible difference, BG = good shading, shadows, perspective, The character = Blocky, head :lol: , shading is nice :P , Party Hat from Runescape.. Runescape graphics suck :P. Overall, not great, if it was just a background I would really like it, but the character really lets it down. 9/10 for background, 6/10 for character. Advise : Try to keep the proportions realistic, maybe you were going for that Anime style of pixeling, but to be honest I don't think it looks good at all. Try not to make the person so blocky, I know this is difficult but it is really worth making people look like they aren't made out of a line tool. Try not to use the circle tool, I have not ever seen anyone with a round head.. Except for Hey Arnold! :) . Allow the hair to come out of the head (don't restrict it to the shape of the head). I look forward too seeing more of your work. Oh yeah also, all photoshop effects ruin the style of pixel, except that grain looks kinda cool :) . Lowgravity, I want to be just like you. But...I never will be as 1337 as you. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youmakemesik Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I'd say the 1st and 3rd are the only ones where the texturing possibly helped the sig... Maybe if you could grain the earth/ground only, but not the sky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord-Gabriel Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 Lol I personaly dont like the character rither, but i tried making it realistic and realized it really sucked. I can't draw realisticly, maybe more practice, and the effects, were to be taken as fun not seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allice Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 what texture tuts did u go tooo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-Gabriel Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 I used the texture ones to add texture to the grass. Not for the effects if thats what you're refering to. And the tutorial I used is from a forums to a program called "rpg maker" where you make your own rpg, and you can draw your own terrain. I read their "Grass Effect" tutorial....several versions of it. And I also got advice from awesome pixelers from that forum. They have many many other pixel tutorials there. Unfourtunatly they stopped regestering new accounts :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazyboy164 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 few things. Like someone said, the guy is to blocky...everything is like straight lines. Try making round curves or something. The legs are small, the chest is big, the neck is tiny, the head is huge...make everything in preportion. Make the p hat yourself. Maybe hold the sword upwards instead of sideways. Maybe a few more monkeys? :lol: Shade the sky...its a solid blue colour, maybe add a sun or birds or cloud or something Overall good sig :) Lazyboy164 - 126 combat - 16 99's - 2215+ Total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-Gabriel Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 Ok I completely deleted the character and blurred the sky in PhotoSuite, I think the sky looks really nice now. Now I'm gonna go through intense hours of trying to get the perfect character. Key word...TRYING :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
