Description PIXEL ART!!

yes thats right, i *kinkei actually did some pixel art! first time for everything.

2day in work i was learing how to do pixel art for an old school type game so tonight i decided to put my new pixeling skills to action with one of my long lash ladies.

I have to say that all u pixel artist must have a lot of patience, It takes soooo long 2 do this type of art! My brain has actually melted!!

Any tips or crit is very welcome.

Thanks

This looks awesome. For some reason it makes me picture that I am looking at her through a fish tank or something. So pretty! I can't wait to see what other pixel stuff you will do!

YAY! Pixel art! Did you use a tool for transparency or did you do them yourself? How much time did it take?

Did you do it straight as pixel art, or did you sketch and "Pixel" over it?

Sorry for so many questions...

Artists that can draw do that usually, but people who are only pixel artists do it from scratch!

I'd like to see you try this pic for a dev avatar. The smaller it gets the more difficult it is... But also good results are lovely.
Try some hand-made dither also :3

kinkei In reply to fanitapunkrock [2008-10-21 19:30:34 +0000 UTC]

aww thank you, i just used lighter and darker tones and kept all the lines u would normally get rid of like the stone floor line and the tail all i did was lighted the line. if u get me? its all an experiment and some bits worked and others didnt.

teeheehee lol kinkei pixelzartz



Yeah it's a bit too meticulous for my tastes

Then again, atm everything seems to be hahaha

Art school has a tendency to burn you out just a little bit. I've been drawing circles lines and boxes now for two weeks and I feel like I need to ice my hand

kinkei In reply to CalenthrellII [2008-10-21 19:27:54 +0000 UTC]

lolz first time 4 me XD

it took twice as long as it would have done if i had done it vector but it was fun.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

CalenthrellII In reply to kinkei [2008-10-21 19:32:15 +0000 UTC]

hehe

omg for me I'm fed up with both: as far as vector goes, I can't learn the pen tool to save my life. I don't know what it is; I'm hoping that when I have to take a photoshop class I learn because it sucks going through my courses atm having to use it, and not knowing what the hell I'm doing.

At any rate, Kinkeipixel for the win.

JessicaRowe [2008-10-21 01:07:18 +0000 UTC]

Its really good for a first time! lol A tip for you is use your pen tool! Just change the settings to "pencil" and uncheck the "simulate pressure" button, and voila! Just make sure you clean up your lines before continuing on to colour. It makes working on a larger scale, like this, a whooole lot easier

Good job!
