Dark Crusade Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 @Urame:> Tried to follow your tutorial rather closely…What do you think?I think your uncreative. That is my sword save for only a very few pixels. A tutorial is to teach you, not for you to use the examples as your own, but instead to get ideas or reference them.![](http://i34.tinypic.com/344zhms.png) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSpine Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Yeah…First I was mainly going for just following the tutorial, I'm gonna make a completely different one now. Only posted it to see if you could tell me if there were many errors, although I don't see any, that's from my view, not someone else's.~Urame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayloskien Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 start with a non-diagonal drawing… works for me anyway,especially if you want it to be symmetrical...(not saying yours weren't). Just saying it works better for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkSpine Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 @Hayloskien:> try this methodThanks, but I'm fine, got used to drawing diagonal (I have pixeled before this, but it was terrible)What do you think of the new sword? ^^~Urame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The palette is terrible.Ouch…I know the yellow is bad(I'm not good with palettes...If someone could point me to a site with some good ones, I'd appreciate it), but the rest is _from_ the tutorial =/@Hayloskien:> *Shrug* it could always be worse,you should see some of the stuff I saw on the rpg maker forumsYou know, before I thought it was pretty good for a start, since I'm a coder, not a graphic designer (I'm _just_ starting to do items), now not so much.~Urame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayloskien Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 was trying to be on your side… :P :P :Panyway...it's really not that bad,I've seen a lot worse,as for palettes,you just have to work it out yourself to find what works for you.

Scribbyz Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 The thing that helped me out the most, when beginning to do pixel art, is reference images. Another key thing to think about is the light source. I ignored this a lot when I began to do pixel art. But trust me, its a big part. The palette is also another thing to pay attention too. When first starting out, I would just mess with luminosity, and as you become more comfortable with the colors, and figuring out how to adjust accordingly. Then play with the Hue, when determining a palette; which can add very unique effects to your images.www.pixeljoint.comThis is a good website to start studying, they have countless tutorials for all types of things.

While I agree, I was simply pointing out the redundancy in stating the impracticality of fantasy 2 dimensional image, using a smart ass reply.
