> i tried to make a pinguin,, i failed.. why do they want a dammn pinguin i cant draw pinguins.. hard animals! lol wut. look up gaming teams logos and compare. You have a ways to go to make something polished and nice. It is way too pixelated and looks pretty cheap. Try drawing a series of thumbnails and posting them. This will help weed out the bad ideas and we can provide much better feedback on which one you should improve and why. Starting with just 1 idea is bad practice for a noobie. Good luck.

> Not to come across as rude or hostile, but who actually plays and enjoys these games? Social outcasts who don't have self esteem or confidence to talk to real girls? I don't see any fulfillment or enjoyment from playing a game where the goal is to chat to and date sims. "Social outcasts who don't have self esteem or confidence to talk to real girls" is something that can be used to describe a wide verity of gamers! So even if it is so, he still has a pretty huge target audience. I think it could be fun, although I don't see myself playing more than a day or two. Sim games are always enjoyable to me. One suggestion I would make is changing the girl to a woman though.

An interesting video I found online. Normally I don't watch things like this too often cause they lack credibility and evidence but this guy does a good job explaining the situation and providing proof on certain things. If you like the video share it please, help spread the word about this. [media]http://youtu.be/dkamZg68jpk[/media]

Be more awesome. Your whole life will now be a contradiction.

The eyes of the chibi characters on the banner look really off, like they have bug eyes or like they are popping out of the face. Maybe the irises are too big or something. Forum looks really well done.

> Good consistency among GUI parts and you've used bevel/emboss (not sure which) well. > > > > FYI, your inventory is a [Hermann grid](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_illusion). Not a big deal, but kinda hurting my eyes. I wonder if it will stay as one once populated with items? xD now that you mention it I notice. Not really feeling the font, in particular the way the s is shapped. Some variation in font would be cool and also a change in colors, black with light red just looks dirty.

Before starting pixel art try to learn art in general. Study the human figure, the way light interacts with surfaces, etc.. Understanding these things will help when you want to warp the figure to your will and make it look nice.

Microsoft is trying to do what steam does on a PC to a home console. Thing is people don't want that and if they did they would just buy a PC. Also with the cloud sharing a load of the processes you have the potential for lag even with single-player experiences. No reselling games + no offline mode = many pissed off people. I personally don't mind I have great internet and I am already used to Steam with PC but 500 bucks, fuck that I'd rather use the money to upgrade my PC hardware or buy a ton of games on steam ^^

Looking great Rory! Good luck finding a team.

If you are using photoshop save the jpg with best quality cause right now it looks really grainy.

Thanks! Good resource.

> No web designer with any common sense or self-respect uses those tools, man. While that may be true it isn't too bad for something basic or to use for a demo.

> Done  Needs more body movement. Looks stiff at the moment

I like the gestural qualities of the second one, oddly enough I did something a tiny bit similar the other day.
