Removed a lot of spam! Stay on topic please. :)

Cigam 06-02-2012 07:57 PM

Thanks Yephenpeace.

Anywho, MSM. Try not to use a lot of colors that are almost the same exact color. The only part of the skateboard that looks shaded is the part that is down, where it gets slightly darker. You need to remember shading techniques, and what the texture of different things are.

Ok. And I didn't use 33 colors... i used maybe 20 at the most.

I have a program which finds every color in the image and shows them side by side. Your skateboard has 33 colors exactly.

You shouldn't shade with the paintbrush tool...

But it doesnt... lolololol

Your skateboard has 33 colors, the program doesn't lie.

... Whatever that was the past lets pretend it didn't happen. So this thread was meant for ppl to post ideas of what I could make for pics in my signature. I'll make a new one for June, what should it be? Doesn't have to do with summer.

So you admit to me being right and your skateboard having 33 colors?

MSM 06-03-2012 01:53 AM

It might have, might not. Its over. Anyway, any ideas of something new to put as my signature pic?

It's not over. You haven't even fixed the skateboard. The skateboard is a poor 5 minute job in paint.

Let me explain.

Your skateboard was obviously shaded using a gradient or the paintbrush tool with AA on. Therefore it has 33 colors when it seems to have about 4. The video below explains how I test this and how I got the palette.

Here is the skateboards color palette.

Your skateboard isn't even your work as it's pretty much a recolor/edit of the default.

Why do you make pixel art once a month? You wont improve that way. Practice makes perfect and I think you get my point.

:'(

MSM 06-03-2012 02:10 AM

#1: My Skateboard I got from a friend. It was a plain white template, each skateboard space was outlined in black but white.

#2: I make more than 1 a month, but i only like to post 1 a month

#3: It took my more than 5 minutes

Your friend gave you the default template with the lineart filled in. All you had to do was color it.

What's your reasoning behind liking to post one a month?

Ok, ok 20 minutes max.

Cigam 06-03-2012 02:18 AM

MSM, I would like to see a re-done version of your skateboards now that you've gotten great feedback. And don't take 5-20 minutes, take your time.

Ahuh.

MSM, this time when you re-do the skateboard (If you do.) take the advice and feedback you have gotten. Remember textures and shading and such.

your dream to be a LAT/GFX/gani artist got crushed

MSM 06-03-2012 02:28 AM

How? I already am... lol

and to that, add a Jr. NPC Scripter, then change the word "crushed" to fulfilled

Cigam 06-03-2012 02:47 AM

I think Ace means on an iOS server.

No they arent. But majority of your post count usually says "This sucks im better"

Majority of my posts are in my pixel art thread as half of the thread is me posting my pixel art.

MSM 06-03-2012 03:43 AM

Half are pixel art, the other half are negative comments

Well then. All of our feedback on the skateboard was for nothing I guess.

I have a suggestion for June. Make some sort of beast that would be an enemy in a RPG game.

You guys didn't give him feedback, you just gave him criticism. It barely even qualifies for being called constructive criticism.

I'm always testing colors and some have little contrast between them. My eye sight isn't all that good so I'm always leaving stray pixels in my work which is why I use that program to give me the palette.

MSM 06-03-2012 02:52 PM

lol. Well maybe ill fix it im currently making other GFX though at the moment.

Try out pro motion 6.5, it's specially made for pixel art and is amazing. There's a free trial but after that it's $78 :(
