Thanks, ill try and fix it up like you said tomorrow.

Ah I see I'll try working on it and resubmit for hat shop when I/others like :) so I start with which direction light is first rather than otherway round

I like this thread idea, would give rep but must spread

I think your issue is that the tail is being used for standing support. The tail is used for balance, but the feet are the only thing on the ground, unless standing idle-ly. o: So I'd make the tail thicker, higher. Also I'd make the thighs thicker, those things provide some of the most weight to the dinosaur, visually.

Teeth/head shapes are good P: Arms need just a tad more shading. In general though, I think your colors are kind of shy of each other, like 'im light green, I can't be next 2 u dark green'. That's not necessarily true; using the different shades against each other are important when giving art a texture. Careful dithering will also make shade differences less harsh. I'd experiment a little bit with that; my take on it anyhow P:

I like your shading style so far, it's smooth, and I like how it curves around the car. I do think you need a brighter light source though; right now the the paint on the car looks dull. I make a little image to show you the color differences in actual cars; http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...psb5422455.png . Your style can work well with this, just add brighter highlights and keep to one light source.

Oh and lastly, to fix your pillowshading on the headlights, try making an outline of the detail inside a headlight, and add highlights/light source later.

Adding small highlights to the stars will make it stand out more; also try making the sky darker around the stars, because the sky usually gets lighter the closer it is to the horizon. As for the craters, maybe pick a light source and put a highlight inside the edges on one side of each crater. If that doesn't work, try the outside of the crater edges.

on upload it only takes from camera roll as soon as image is png in app then goes into camera roll it becomes a jpeg :(

My fav is the flame <3 I just love the coloring on it. Jester already mentioned how the shape should be more frenzy-like though.

As for the bear, hmmm... I think you're using the light brown (#a07850) for too many things. Like, it's being used as part of the bear's tummy, as though it was sewn that way, but also for the highlights of the head and arms. At least, it looks like a highlight since a teddy bear isn't normally sewn that way. I can understand that you're probably going for less colors, but this one might need another highlight color to make it easier. All in all, I feel like there isn't enough distinction between what's a highlight and what's sewn on the bear.

And for the graphic in the middle o: What Jester said

I'm not so sure about the up/down views.

too short. sides are great thou.

I took my time with these edits just to show you guys what i mean, I'm sorry if you think im a little too harsh but i'm just being honest and trying to help you. I Hope you guys become great pixel artists in the long run and i know you guys can do it ;) Now i think ive helped everyone that hasnt been helped yet :P
Good stuff as usual ihot! I think you should try looking at perspective more and start to put it in your work, could look really good :) Right now the nose looks broken try making it face the way the perspective is in, looks heaps better. The hair should look like hair (texure), right now it looks like a swimming cap or something lel. In this edit i tried editing the moon a lil and your stars to show you a few pointers, Also the clothing could use some creases to make it more nomal looking. Heres what i think would look a little more appealing :)

Well the top views look to small, maybe make them longer? and a little more contrast wouldn't hurt :)

Indeed this resembles delteria but the highlights seems to bright, Colors are well not a good mix up. I know you are using delterias pallette but those colors arent necessarily the best choice. I suggest making it more teddy bear-ish like. Try adding AA and use highlights more efficiently, Heres an edit to show you how i wouldve done it :)

Contrast is the key my friend! As jester said you should define your lightsource, i think you really should it will help massively. I like the line art except for the part where the gold line is, it just has some jagged pixel there i suggest you fix that too haha. If your not sure on what i mean by contrast heres a small edit i did. (contrast is the difference between the colors) Well thats what i think it is lol :P http://i.imgur.com/ntp1g7B.png

Hmm i see why. First of all the line art is jagged you could make it less jaggy. Second off all its great seeing that you have distinguished a light source but you were using the shading in a wrong way. You are just shading it for the hell of it, it seems that way. Shading is made to show depth in a piece all you have done is gradient shade it. And finally again i would like to say that contrast is key! If you use that your art would be tops and you could have control over your artwork more. Lol your dino looks like the one from toy story <3.
Here is an edit i did with only 5 colors, I havent touched the line art just shading to show volume. (i couldnt be bothered doing the whole thing, sorry :P)

I like the shape, really cool. You should try taking more control with your colors, Like i said contrast is key. try adding a logo on the car to make it look realistic and try doing what latte said i find it helpful. I think your a visual learner so i took my time to edit your car to show what i meant by contrast etc.

I really think you should spend time making more creative edits rather than simple recoloring to my original. Have fun with it, add some claws, put an eyepatch on it or something. Add some "character" to it instead of just having a plain bear. I like that kind of stuff. :)

And don't feel ashamed that I pointed you out on this, trust me, it happens a lot. I find it rather flattering. But everyone starts somewhere, so do your best in adding some creativity to an otherwise boring piece of mine.

I don't like how the front turned out, it just looks a bit odd to me.
I really like the checker concept on this but i just couldn't seem to pull it off on this one D:

It looks really good. I think the shape is fine. Try making the checkered lines closer, so there's more of a pattern? Good hat, though!

That's actually what I started it out on! I wasn't done, and I was gonna start out with that bear for size then keept changing things on it, but I decided to post it because of the opportunity. I will add some creative stuff, sorry for not asking. I will work on it. I was posting it on here to get some ideas about the shading on it.

The up and down views are too small compared to the sizing you're trying to set on the sides. For that type of rifle, it should be longer.

Also to add some more realism...possibly de-flatten the back of the buttstock?

It might help to add a bit more shape rather than a straight line down.

Ah thank you, I'm really gnna try and start making hats more when I have time(around work etc) So thanks for the help/previews peeps of what you mean I really appreciate it :blush:

Edit: Finished Redoing it and resubmitted for Zone PlayerHatShop :)

Some old stuff I made.

Teach me <3
