yellow is a good color and I like seeing it sometimes, but for the most part, I try to keep a softer and more neutral background, so colors don't clash.

I like your art a lot!

I'm very fond of pixel art. I suck at it so I like watching people who do it well. LOL

I wouldn’t say I’m very good at it... But I could maybe sort of teach you? I have a vague memory of how I learnt to do pixel art...

I think you're very good! I see you doing several styles, it caught my eye when I saw the LaTale sprites. very nostalgic. lol

you don't have to teach me! if you want to give me tips that's great--but I feel bad to bother someone to teach me. D: I don't personally know you, so I have no idea if you have a busy schedule or anything

Charlie-Suiko In reply to tsubelle [2018-10-19 06:44:36 +0000 UTC]

LaTale was from a generator/program... The only styles I actually do include Zelda-ish/semi-realistic, Fire Emblem/isometric semi-realistic, finally Crystal Chronicles chibi style... Only Fire Emblem has a pixel style that can be based off of...

I also attempted (though was extremely lazy and half arsed) disgaea HD, Kingdom Hearts, The World Ends With You, Harvest Moon and Negima...

As for the teaching part, I have lots of free time due to not being able to work. Just not always well enough to be online properly. ButI’ll tel you my starting point.

Guide:
1 - Basically, start by trying to edit pixelated portraits or sprites. Such as Fire Emblem, or Disgaea HD. I suggest by using premade parts. You’ll want to be able to attach bits so it looks as natural as possible. This teaches you the basics of noticing palette differences, and a little on shading via pixel.
2 - After you get the hang of 1, you can either try making certain features full from scratch, or tracing in a pixel style. You can claim credit for the custom part if the tracing is from your own drawing, rather then an image from online.
3 A - After you get the hang of 2, you can resize reference images to the size you’re aiming to do it as, and add guidelines to show you were certain parts end, such as the head... Then next to it, try making a pixel version.
And/or
3 B - Attempt to turn a premade pixel image into a naked base. Both step 3 are quite hard. So you can try them in which ever order.
4 - When doing a different style, try to trace it a few times, till you get the hang of the shading and such. Then when you’ve got the hang of this new style, make you first real image in a similar style to 3A.

Obviously this will take years to get the hang of properly. But it’s a starting point. And I can always give more personalised pointers from any piece you want me to check over.

Last bit of advice, you do not! I repeat, do not want to do large images at first. Starting on a small scale is your best bet.

yo I feel it, I have some health issues that interferes with a traditional job, so I use art and other ways to work at home to try to support myself. atleast until my health is better once again. ;v;/

and my bad about the LaTale thing! but either way, your pixel work is still nice and aesthetically pleasing to look at, so you shouldn't look at yourself as not being good. please love your art more!

in the past I had studied some pixel works and drew small outlines to quickly get down before adding the pixel art itself. it was a fun challenge, but lately I feel like I don't have a lot of time. it sucks! I even have a nice program to try to work in for sprites. it's called graphicsgale! graphicsgale.com/ this is the site. I have a friend who is really good at pixel art that gave me tips (such as never use black outlines if you can avoid it) and told me how to 'smooth' out the pixels and it helped a lot. these tips are also really helpful and nice, so thank you!

there's a pixel artist I'm a huge fan of, they had an interview here: pixeljoint.com/2009/10/03/2938… but honestly a lot of the stuff they're describing kind of...confuses me lol.

the last time I attempted a pixel art thing was almost two years ago, seen here:   it's not terrible, I know that for a fact...but boy does it need a lot of tips, if you ever feel up to it! I eventually would love to get back into sprite art once I'm less, uh...stressed. pixel art is actually my favorite and it's nostalgic and comforting to me. probably why so many old games are my favorite games. lol

I personally use Paint.Net... I used to use Microsoft Paint... But now I like the layer function... Mostly because I do a lot of greyscaling with my pixel art now...

For the interview, I'll have to read through it another time. If that's ok with you?

As for your adorable little guy, that is pretty darn good! Because it's your own personal style, it is a little bit difficult to just... But there's some pointers I can suggest...

1- Firstly, due to you normally doing a more red tone for outlines that are white. I would defiantly suggest change it to that.
2- More of a personal choice, but might not really work with your style... I would suggest add some more shading to the tufts of fur... Make them stand out a little more...

I can't really think of much more, mostly due to it being your own style. So I don't want to suggest a whole bunch of things that just wouldn't fit with your other artwork.If I have your permission, I can always show you what I mean with the two main points on a section of the body for you to compare by? There's also something bothering me. Something about the pose seems a little off? I don't know, maybe it's just me.

On a quick side note, due to looking through your art quite a bit now... I feel the urge to commission you in the future! I can't right now though... My money got drained very quickly due to some home surprise costs..

that's totally fine! you don't even have to read it. I just linked it because the image examples for what they did confused me on some parts LOL

so, I should do a reddish outline for lighter tones like that? 0: and I did try detailing the tufts some more! but I was having difficulty with that so I got rid of it...it looked a bit choppy, I think I just need to practice and study pixel art some more. ;_; but thank you for the tip!

you are more than welcome to show me what you mean! and yes I feel like something is off too LOL like I thought maybe the head was too big, or like...legs too tiny? I am not sure x(

that's so sweet of you, thank you!! but please never feel obligated to do this. trust me, I really understand financial difficulties and surprise expenses. @_@ they're awful and stressful, so I get you

I ended up reading it in the end anyways. And I suppose the pictures can be a little confusing if you don’t know too much about it. If you want, you can tell me which pictures and I can try to explain.

Pratice is always important~ So I’m sure if you tried to copy other images that show how to do fur shading and such, you’ll get the hang of it.

I’ll do the edit a wee bit later though. Not feeling great, plus have a sudden overload of work that needs to be done one my character creators -_-‘ But I think there’s two things that bother me, the head does feel a little large? But if it’s a pup, that makes sense. The main thing is the pose, it feels like it’s not quite right. You have the back legs face to the side, and then the front curving forwards, but no clear sign to suggest the body itself is curving for this position? Which would undoubtedly be hard to do in a style you’re used to. Let alone one you struggle with.

I don’t have much stress as some, because I have the pleasure of living with my mother. So I pay rent to her. It’s mostly the fact she’s bad with money. So any money I would have saved up, I often end up having to lend to her. So I end up strapped for cash myself. Though which the money I receive paid instalments twice a month. I just wait for the second one, and then I’m a bit more free. As long as I remember to put my foot down when she asks for more.

she was actually just supposed to be in a normal sitting position! but I see what you mean. <: that's also probably another reason why it bothered me lol

and don't worry about the edit if you have a work overload! I won't be mad or upset I promise

and I understand! that sounds a wee bit stressful to have your parent bad with money. D: but as long as she listens when you say something to her, yeah??

Charlie-Suiko In reply to tsubelle [2018-10-26 19:17:07 +0000 UTC]

If you decide to tweak her, maybe try do your more comfortable style first, and trace over it. Because I think once the pose is fixed, you'll find she looks even better~

My biggest work overload is basically coding stuff... I only have the four largest section left... And then I'm back to adding in the remaining artwork...

My mother fails to heed my advice, but that's probably never going to change...

hoooo boy coding stuff. is that what you're really into? I've tried to do it before, but I found it quite overwhelming...it hurt my brain. I wish it didn't, coding is really handy. ; ;
