Is my pixeling getting any better?

[viciousdead]

I know it's not complete, but does this spider look good…  :icon_beer:

Don't mind the tiny version of it.. lol

Get rid of the white dots, make the legs connect to each other more, don't dither the eyes, un-square the legs. change the pallete.

Ok, so you mean the white dots on the main body, or all of them..?
Sorry, ok so your saying make the legs a little less square? I can do that! :)

[Chakkra]

get rid of every light grey dot on there.

Make all of the "pieces" of each leg connect so it forms one leg. Everything is too square.

Well, how could I show spikes or detail without the white dots..? This is confusing.  :icon_surprised:

[Akselj]

It doesn't look like spikes.. Just bad quality.

[viciousdead]

Ok, well guys how does this look so far?

What do you suppose I do next. :)

[Akselj]

That's a lot better, already. Now as Chak said, make proper eyes and don't dither them.

[Chakkra]

much much better.

Now fix the eyes, no need to dither them.

Also, fix the shading and pallete to where it constrasts more. ad some texture on the spider.

Ok, well lets see, how do I add texture… and what do you mean by "fix the shading and pallete to where it constrasts more."

I know... Dumb questions.. ^^  :icon_alabanza:

Edit:The eyes, what do you mean "proper" spiders have a lot of eyes.. :S

[Chakkra]

All of the "shades" (Even tho you only have 1) need to be much more… darker/lighter so you can see there's a difference. if that make sense.  What I suggest is making a pallet before starting to sprite of all of the shades you will sue of a certain color.

I'll make you a pallet real quick for an example.

Umm.., I understand the shading now, and I have good looking eyes (I think) now.
Only thing is what do you mean by Sue? I want black/white spider with red eyes.

[Chakkra]

oh sorry, typo. I meant *Use.

Ok, one second and I'll post a new version! :)

Well here's an edit I took upon myself to make. Along with a pallet.
Note: the only reason I dithered the spider for texture was that it was the only way to make him look hairy. Dithering can be a handy tool, but don't overdo it.

Your professional, I'll never be good at this…  :icon_crap:

[Chakkra]

Don't worry. Just read a few tutorials, do edits/changes of other people's work, recolors etc. Until you can start making your own sprites.

Don't forget the pallet ;)

I think I may make a spriting tutorial :P Would be kinda fun.

I took Breezes bodies, and made hair/clothing for the sprites, but as you can see it sucks like my pixeling .. :(
**DUDE I GOT A GREAT IDEA, how about I practice on Shapes, like a square and make shading, until I get it right. Would you tutor me? :D**

[Chakkra]

Hah, I've been pixeling for a good 2-3 years.

Takes time, buddy.

[Techno 5.0]

All you need is practice
I've become very good at pixel art because of constant practice.
Use mspaint
best thing for pixel art

[viciousdead]

DO I HAVE THE RIGHT IDEA???  :afro:

Finally someone agrees.

Don't listen to the people who say paint.net or (oh god) photoshop.

Oh, And as for the spikes:

There are a lot of them, looks kinda crowded. But you get what they should look like?

I hope you learn from my edits.
