THE JULY PIXEL ART CONTEST - Discussion Thread

[Fox♠]

Silly you Allstories, although it is still a pixel over, therefore is not scratch so it's still disquilified.

 

[Thomas]

Ok, I entered mine, but it isn't done well. I never know how to shade. Someone really needs to make a tutorial on that for pixel art.

 

[maxxa]

oooh wow i love a challenge and this will be my first entry of a contest wow!

 

[Fox♠]

Qwertyman, you have being disquilified for breaking the following rule.

"# No old work. This has to be new stuff. Although with the restricted palette that sort of goes without saying."

 

[Dragonfree]

I'm doing a landscape pic. =/ Just thought the colors would look good for that.

 

[Fox♠]

They would IMO, I'm looking forawd to this entry Dragonfree, dopn't let me down ^_^

 

[Chizzy]

My item is coming along nicely

Shading looks kind of poor though

 

[Dragonfree]

You won't believe just how annoying this was to make. <_< Dithering large areas is a nightmare.

But yeah, it's my entry, most likely to be subjected to some tweaking.

 

[Fox♠]

Now that, is sheer skill, although prehpas dithering wasn't the smoothest technique you could of used, meh, still awesome.

 

[Dragonfree]

Yeah, I was thinking about changing that a little... I'm not too happy with the sky right now.

I added a couple of clouds, though.

 

[Allstories]

Y'know, it IS possible to dither to less or greater degrees. You're just going SOLID COLOR - CHECKERED GRADIENT - SOLID COLOR - CHECKERED GRADIENT - SOLID COLOR - CHECKERED GRADIENT - etc. It doesn't really flow very well, and it's kind of distracting. However, this is the type of stuff I had in mind when I devised the theme.

 

[Dragonfree]

Just finished editing the sky. I like it a lot more now, although near the sun I'm going to tweak a couple of pixels.

 

[aocom]

Dithering large areas is a nightmare.

Don't even remind me x_X

Mine is going good. I need to try more shading techniques though.

 

[Snapple]

I'm not sure if I should add more values to the hair or not. I want it to have a light feeling, like really blonde. What do people think?

 

[maxxa]

[SuperGuy]

-Thomas- i like yours. mainly because Chickorita is my fav pokemon. but... wait, its the only reason. but i think its good too. better than anything i could do, because i dont have paint, and even if i did, it still would

 

[Houndoom1]

Well I finished mine and it's another crappy koopa. I don't know why I always make koopas, but whatever that's my entry.

 

[Esupio]
