pixels galore
 

its been quite a while since I have pixeld much of anything here is a pratice project I was doing. I was going to make a body template but I kind of went whacko on it and this is the result. Black outlines aside have I lost my touch?

The legs are turned at an angle, yet the chest and arms aren't at all.

Perspective is a bit off...

Perspective mangs :{

Well there was a little reason for the messed up perspective. Here is another version but I decided he wouldn't be able to pick up chicks looking like this....

Where's your spine aaaaaaa aaa aaat? Where's your spine at!? Where's your spine at!?

i dont understand the point of putting the words 13 colors in the piece. are you trying to brag about it? especially considering how they arent used very well at all. the lines are very nice, i think you just need to choose a better pallette with more contrast to it. your light tones are very close to your dark tones.

I listed the colors for peoples general information I guess you don't recall but at one point I couldn't post an image without being lectured on my color usage. and by the way I think they are used fine for their purpose. I know very well what I am doing and I have been doing it for many years. Also skin tones should not have a whole lot of contrast that makes faces seem harsh and un-skin like. Here is a better version are you happy?

It's better, but you're back to the first problem: Perspective is off.

lol tony dont do it for me! im just offering my advice on how i would do it. you dont have to take it. everyones got their own style of doing things. but yeah thats alot better than the previous one.
to offer more critique id have to see what kind of backgrounds it would be going on.

Well it was just some pratice I havn't actually made anything in a month well not any more im back pumping out pixels for era XP and don't take that wrong you sicko's but yeah I was just messing around. Heres some more things I have been fooling around with first is an event helm for smu next what would happen if you mixed graal kingdoms and war craft 1.

That and his left foot is screwed.

Tony those sprites look good :O!

Cool work, ^^.

Is that event helm an edit of my Futor bomy? It looks familiar. =p

edit: my mistake, it's not. It just has similar characteristics.

it damn sure is'nt...

some different shading for your litte dude! didn't pay attention to colors and proper pixel usage... no reason to with broadband and high res moniters! :) (don't get me wrong, I highly respect the people that can still old-school pixel)

Because of you rnew shading, the face looks ugly, and flat.

You need more contrast on that face if you want it to look normal. Also, his arms are too short - should extend to mid thigh area. The gap between his chest and arms is also too large.

Now I feel like I have an excuse to be a jerk/an or arrogant wank.

Why was I not invited?

I hope you didn't arrange to have that picture taken and it was more of a "LOL SCOTT U NERD *snap*" than a "Ok, in this scene I'm going to wrap myself in a blanket and express my teenager angst...oh life is so sad ):"

Because that would be really irritating.

errm? the one on the right is the reshaded one, and has far more depth than tony's, mainly because tony used the classic 2d methods. I'm not being critical of him, i'm sure he could do the same if not better if he wanted to. I just wanted to see how it would look if it was done up that way. Also, the gap between his arms and chest? I'm sure most of the graal population has never seen a gym but thats actually quite normal for someone with a built figure.

No, no it's not.

Nerd + Scott. I was pretending to be a pirate dementor.

Geek :P

larping / cosplaying is teh g33k

I wasn't exactly concerned with any of this it was just a test image to see if I could still make apealing graphics after being gone for a month. I know he has anatomny issues and perspective issues and even some porportion issues. But 99.9% of all graphics posted on this forumn never get checked for any of that.
