Here's my lastest pixel, and best (in my opininon) It's for Jose1988's contest

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please rate and give c/c. Thanks EDIT The dead guy in the backround was too distracting so I darkened him up a bit

the glow on torches doesnt look good

the glow on torches doesnt look good

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

any idea on how i can fix it? maybe just blend it in more?

Hmm dragons eye looks bit wierd coz it is just round, try making it biger width and smaller height+ i think guy would look cooler in any dragon-armor

Ok here's a fresher version:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for suggestions this far. I need more c/c on new version. Thanks

nice accept

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

blood and gore...'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

shade the guy on ground... like a shadow and shade the walls where the torches are...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We, the admins, have decidet to not allow signatures that have over exaggerated use of blood and gore in images.

 

 

 

Dont make sigs with decapitation, blood splatter, cutting people in two or general blood and gore images. This is a family friendly forum and we would like to keep it like that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We will ask all you sigmakers nicely if you can get intouch with those that have received signatures like that and offer them to alter the signatures, but we wont force any of you to do it. All sigs made after this day and date will be looked stricly on though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the future all admins will instruct the mods to look for signatures like that and remove them promptly. Instead a text like this ( or similar) will appear on that spot; ~Signature removed due to innappropriate images"~

 

 

 

Allthough each sig have to be a judgement call on the part of staff members. It's not always an easy call to decide what is "over the line."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks

I didn't wanna do the blood either, but it was the costumer's request :? I'll see what I can do on the other suggestions, Thanks

ooh also on the back wall

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the text

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

make it darker then the wall so it looks carved in, that would be cool... it looks faded as it is right now im not expert but i got eyes lol make the text even too

Can I just say, you're improving real fast. Your sigs used to be just any old average starting pixel sig (no offence), but now I reckon you could starty a shop if not already done... In like a week or two, you've gone from like cartoony weird looking sigs, to sigs like this and your thieving one (which I think is a huge improvement for the amount of time in which this event took place). Good luck with future sigs.

:D, thanks I've been practicing, and I want to stock up on a few more premade sigs before opening a shop. And I think the key to my improvement is my patience. People take like 1-3 hours to make theirs. And I take my time long long long :D. Also these posts really help me every time I get c/c and fix the sig it looks better. Especially for the first sig. I thought that big headed round-eyed- cartoony style looked cool, but apperantly people hated it. I did a major change in style and without that my sigs would prob still suck. And like most people my sigs start as sketches in my math notes, which in my opinion look a lot sexier on paper than on the computer :lol: . *sigh* if only I had a scanner :( :( :( :(...but than again we are close to christmas :D

In my sig i posted...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I opened up photoshop

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

used the fill tool to make it white

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

then used the pencil and colors for rest lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(I cant draw)

Ok another update: I fixed up torch light added a shadow to the dead guy and added a fiery border, also tried to blend in the "80+ combat and 70+ range" to the wall a bit more:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Does the dead guy's shadow look better or worse? I can't tell. Is the text too blended? Anything else needs fixing?

There shouldn't be a shadow along the side facing the torches - light causes shadows to lead away from it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, you should try adding some spines to the crest of the dragon so there's a logical explaination for it to be standing up (like in my sig).

The torches a lot better now, good job. Redo the shadow...now it's a black stroke around the corpse? I'd suggest making the dragon scales a little less uniform, they are making the guy look real flat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice job!

again..lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and Zonorhc Im not sure what you mean by [bleep]es

Pretty nice since you fixed the dragonhide :D

Dat's what I like in an artist... Someone who asks for some Constructive Criticism and actually USES it. Bout 90 % of the people on this forum ask for ratings and CC and just take the advice as any old comment, whereas like 10% actually change the sig every few posts, adding in and/or changing the things that people gave as CC and advice...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On a side note: I'm a pixel'er too :D Kinda fun making 'em eh? :wink: I've stopped for a while though, just didn't have enough spare time to spend hours and days on sigs :cry: ... But eh, I'm making two sigs right now :D One I'm making just cause christmas is coming up (pixel sig about santa sort of), and one I'm making cause I just felt like it'd look pretty cool... I'm not great at pixelling but sort of decent I guess, so ya, I havn't started a shop either... But I got a scanner, so it's easier to make the sigs (when I scan).

Hah thanksgiving holidays, ill be going on a sig making spree, and pm me or post your sigs in progress I'd really like to rate/help like you did good luck, and Im off to bed finnaly lol

I wish I could apply constructive criticism, but all my art is hand-drawn small so resizing is a lot easier, and erasing parts by hand is a pain and ruins the image, not to mention that it takes a lot of time.

Heh, thanks for the offer :D I'll PM the W.I.P.'s to you later though, right now they only just started, just the base of the artwork done :wink: Again, thanks for the offer of CC/help, and yes, I will take up that offer, just not now.

 

 

 

Now, a few positives (CC):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I like the mini-torches... They probably could be improved but they look cool as it is...

 

 

 

Awesome dragon, probably cause it's drawn in a style I like, but it also just looks unique...

 

 

 

The guy on the ground, did you draw him? Cause if ya did, that's good too, I wouldn't know how to draw at that perspective/angle...

 

 

 

Awesome ranger and nice concept to the artwork overall... Unique and well-thought-out idea...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, a few negatives (CC):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 80+ combat and 70+ range are a bit hard to read, although the effect you were going for would have turned out nice (engraving/blending). I just think you sort of have to squint a bit to read it clearly...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe add some emotion to the dragon? Casue if you compare the ranger and dragon, the ranger is all tense and precise, accurately arching, etc... Where as, the dragon's just sort of still and motionless/emotionless, kno what I mean? He looks a bit stoned :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's all for now, gl in his comp (it's still going right?) :D

the dead guy on the ground reminds me.. of one of misterxmans work.. :shock: maybe im just paranoide.. well i am paranoide but aside from that .. well ... some C/C

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the ground is good.. but use a few more colors and make the "light color" in it darker.. its not flowing.. it looks to random

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the ranger is wearing.. a.. polkadot....... AAAAAAH THE HORROR!! .. work a bit on the texutre.

 

 

 

the ground line.. you .. uhm made it a straight line connecting to rocks, they got more differences ing heighter and positioning.. because of that the wall now looks a bit flat the dragon couldve starten up light to shade it better

Ok I did a few moew changes lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do those skulls look good? or should I just take em off. And by the way if I keep updating like this I will go crazy because there is ALWAYS room for improvement.....so I will update it ONE more time. Someone name something MAJOR that needs fixing. Don't name little things, say something that majorly needs fixing for next update. Thanks!

Don't rip things, i'm preety sure that you stole that guy laying on the floor from MrX's sig.. Dissapointing.
