Tried something a little different. Is it better, or still the same? xD
(I have no idea what's up with the left outline of the top, i swear it doesn't look like that when you zoom in ;u;)

Oh gosh lama that is awesome XD I honestly cant think of anything to say that you could fix.
@chup chup you're getting better! Just don't forget to keep the outline dark and have a definite shade on the right, you've done it on the top part but you've left it out on the bottom. (also I'd recommend making the darkest shade a little bit darker) Great work!
October 20, 2014 10:15 (9 years ago)
Thank you so much Alerano! <3 I'll improve them more!
October 20, 2014 12:14 (9 years ago)
Thank you <3 ^_^ I'd love constructive criticism though xD
Wanted to try dithering the dress, but it didn't turn out too well cx
October 20, 2014 14:58 (9 years ago)
in general dithering isn't necisary unless you're trying to create a texture like fur or sparkles
for sparkles you'd need your lightest tone to be contrastingly lighter than it is here :3
your coloring has improved greatly but it's not suggested to shade outlines and if you do don't make the lighter side as light as you have, you want the lines to stay strong on both sides
I'd also stand on making sure you have darker shading down the right side of the body, our base stands on a bit of an angle so the shading should be more obvious on that side :3
hairs good but the light outline blends in too much so I'd either darken it or just do away with the light line in general :o
October 20, 2014 15:57 (9 years ago)
Thank you very much for taking time to write all that! :D
I'll try to remember all this in my next design, so thanks! ^^
Just to get an idea of how dark the outline has to be, could you take one of my designs and try and make the outline on one of the items dark enough? Pretty please *puppy eyes*? ^u^
October 20, 2014 18:12 (9 years ago)
the outline of your last dress is good on the right side maybe a tiny bit darker, in general you want it to match the darkness of the bases outline or at least close to how dark that is :3
October 20, 2014 19:09 (9 years ago)
Okay, I'll remember that! :D
October 21, 2014 5:42 (9 years ago)
I actually was a little butt and edited the blue dress you made because I loved it so much. My style is a lot different than Alina's but I feel its pretty close to the way you do pixel art. Here it is: Its not perfect ;u;/.I used about 3-4 colors not including the sleeves. I didn't make the dress outline too much darker then what you already had but, the darker the better ;D. Please keep up the good work!
October 21, 2014 10:02 (9 years ago)
It's so pretty *u* I really love that style! But when i try to do it, it ends up looking like pillow shading *cries in a corner* xD
But I'll try with less colors and darker outlines ^^
October 21, 2014 17:01 (9 years ago)
can't wait to see what you come up with next! :3
November 4, 2014 6:59 (9 years ago)
I'm having a big art block atm, but I'll be sure to draw a lot when I get out of it ;u;
November 7, 2014 7:01 (9 years ago)
I tried. xD
November 12, 2014 17:57 (9 years ago)
I actually wanted to draw today, after I found a really cool dress (http://goo.gl/MKq86N) :D
And tried only using 4 shades per color ^^
November 12, 2014 19:43 (9 years ago)
looks good to me ;3
November 13, 2014 20:39 (9 years ago)
Ooh, looks very promising! ^^
November 15, 2014 16:01 (9 years ago)
... I tried ;n;
November 16, 2014 5:03 (9 years ago)
Oh my! They look beautiful! Seems like dresses are your forte(strength).
November 22, 2014 5:44 (9 years ago)
It's been a very long time since I last visited this page....... ^_^
Well while busy doing schoolwork, I thought of making something new.
November 22, 2014 10:46 (9 years ago)
I also did something else and this is so random.
November 23, 2014 18:08 (9 years ago)
I hope this is somewhat acceptable. I noticed not many avi with blonde hair, so I decided that would be the best to do.
November 23, 2014 18:19 (9 years ago)
Alright, colors have been made darker.
November 23, 2014 18:21 (9 years ago)
November 23, 2014 18:29 (9 years ago)
you're shading backwards btw X3 the light comes from the upper left corner
I'd like to see something other than hair from you :3
November 23, 2014 18:32 (9 years ago)
Like this? I mean, it could go in front or behind avis. But this wolf actually is a character belonging to me, so...
November 23, 2014 19:09 (9 years ago)
November 23, 2014 19:13 (9 years ago)
your lineart could use some work, it's very lumpy and on the right side the material shouldn't be so pulled against the body
the bow seems strangely placed, it should be behind the body more
your lineart color is good but your shades could be a bit darker
November 23, 2014 19:14 (9 years ago)
left* not right, sorry DX
November 24, 2014 8:54 (9 years ago)
Hi! I have submitted some things two days before Aiko's submission. Hope u like it ^_^
November 24, 2014 11:26 (9 years ago)
Oh, I also made a new hair (since there's no homework today!!! YESH!!!!! >:D)
Well I don't think it's very nice but......I still need more comments about it so I can make it nice.
(It's soooo ugly....)
November 24, 2014 11:33 (9 years ago)
A wanna give a comment for Aiko.....
Well.....first of all.......you reminded me of my very first tries in submitting pixel art stuff......I really make things so ugly (like a crazy kindergarten kid) and it's so lumpy and my shadings are wrong and stuff lol.....but I know that when you practice more like what I'm doing right now, I have no doubt that you will be an artist here too! BTW I liked your designs. Just a bit more practice and soon you'll be an artist too!!!
art I really like the set but I'd like to see more things from you >:3
chup chup, I really don't judge a persons style on hair a lot because they're shaded very differently from clothing so i'd prefer it if you kept your focus on that ^^
November 26, 2014 23:15 (9 years ago)
art I'd also suggest that you shade your items a bit stronger, the shading is too soft and can be easily lost
kawaii make sure your line art is dark enough on your dresses, your line art and shape of your shading is getting much better ^^
November 27, 2014 9:30 (9 years ago)
here's something i just made cause ya, I have gymclass but I'm not gymming uvu
November 27, 2014 10:22 (9 years ago)
Thank you Alina! <3
But I think I failed the hair........BTW I shall submit the fixed hair!
November 27, 2014 10:29 (9 years ago)
Done with the hair! Removed the grays that looks like something weird that makes the hair look abnormal.... lol ^^
November 27, 2014 10:38 (9 years ago)
Well I also decided to resubmit this one with the dress. (Sorry if I post many times in a row ^^)
So....here it is!
November 27, 2014 22:56 (9 years ago)
made some more thingies uvu
the hair is kinda bad on the last one but ya
November 28, 2014 11:31 (9 years ago)
Umm @art........I think you're background should already be transparent so the mods can easily see your artworks better. Here's the site where I edit mine and make it transparent. Click here!
December 19, 2014 3:22 (9 years ago)
Wow I've been missing out on so much stuff during school!
@Chup Chup I really like how you're improving but I think hair is still quite a challenge, it requires a lot of reference to real hair and how it flows. I think you could do more on clothes because I'm starting to see a lot better out of it!
@artsexual I'm really interested to see what more stuff you post, but I really think you could stand to show more shadows, you know, to add definition and all that jazz. ;D
If it's an image you made on your computer you first need to upload it to a site like http://photobucket.com or http://imgur.com to make it available on the internet and use the address (URL) they give you to post it here.
January 18, 2015 20:47 (9 years ago)
I tried to make a hair; I haven't made one for the elf and different poses yet because I want to see if it's good enough. Suggestions?
January 18, 2015 21:51 (9 years ago)
I have tried this, too. I made this really quickly, so I know it needs more...
January 25, 2015 7:39 (9 years ago)
It's been a long time since I last posted here!!!! Well now that I have free time today, I tried making a hair...... LOL :P
