Guest 1_Hit_Quit Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 All the other pixels ive ever posted (like 2 or 3 newbish 1s) were all done with the airbrush and sucked... this is the first actual 1 I tried to to seriously... Went by the pixels ect... Its my first 1 so not too harsh... If you say i need to shade better or something, tell me how to do that cuz i have never been taught anything lol....

UTSnyper Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Shade the (grand) tree more, make the edges around the door a bit darker, give the grass a little surface texture, and there you go =) This is the GRAND tree ;) Roots would help it too. Shading = give 1 section of the tree darker coloring than the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1_Hit_Quit Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 as u can see i did shade the bottom right corners of tree and made left side lighter.... i got what ur saying about shading, now what do i do for the grass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTSnyper Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Make certain parts just SLIGHTLY darker than others. It'll give an effect as if they are actual blades of grass shadowing other blades. And making the vanishing point (place where grass and sky meet) a bit less even would make it look more realistic. Roots on the tree (coming out of the grass) would make it go with the theme that there is an intricate root system right under the tree. You know, like the tree mines! Those tips are just so it will go with the theme of the Grand Tree and every wonder it holds =) OH and when shading the tree, make it a bit more noticeable, because only slight shading with browns is hard to notice.

Moosh Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 the little tree shouldnt have a shadow becuase the big tree is blocking the light, its a very sweet sig though :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DementedHero Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Hi there thee, nice grand tree. Im on a roll today, woopee hey! Contrast is what it needs, It'll count as 2 good deeds. Make it look 3d, just like you and me. Give it some roots, perhaps add some dudes? Fix the horizon, just ask wyson. Add a couple trees, perhaps some bee's. Forget about bee's, eat some feesh! Get it UPdated, or it'll be OUTdated. Dont mind me, just let me be. Im a bit weird, the sheep is sheared! More rhymes from me, DementedHE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iPee freely Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 go0d sigs :D Great C/C there :roll: 1 Hit Quit: The small tree is great, the rest isn't so great. Grand Tree is way to wide and not detailed enough? Maybe have an owl poking its head out :lol: . The grass is just plain, no detail same with the sky. If you put in more detail overall then it would be much better. SmellySocks: Even though this aint your post, pretty cool tree there. Hacked, gaining none buy-able skills.
