Anyhow I think it turned out good so here it is.**Game Sprite For Reoria:****Recolours For Your Convienance****Recolours & Contrast Changes:** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XerShade Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 **Post taken from: **[http://www.xershade.ca/topic/7-item-orbs/](http://www.xershade.ca/topic/7-item-orbs/)Okay seeing as they are key items for my game's plot I decided to pixel me some orbs now and get it out of the way. These were a little difficult to get the gradient on the orb correct, but what I did was I drew a gradient with the gradient tool and used that as a basis for the orb's gradient. All in all this was a little challenging, mostly getting the gradient started as it required not only contrast changes but saturation changes, but turned our rather well.**Game Sprite For Reoria:**[](http://www.xershade.ca/uploads/monthly_01_2014/post-1-0-03159200-1389313986.png "orb.png - Size: 508bytes")**Recolours For Your Convienance**[](http://www.xershade.ca/uploads/monthly_01_2014/post-1-0-52260300-1389313987.png "orbs.recolor.png - Size: 4.93KB")**Recolours & Contrast Changes:**[](http://www.xershade.ca/uploads/monthly_01_2014/post-1-0-85072800-1389313986.png "orbs.recolor.contrast.png - Size: 20.27KB") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please stop with the rage festing or I can, and will, call a mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 It's not pixel art and I'm not raging. What did you expect the comments to be in a "show off" of circles with a gradient fill?. Make all the gradient filled circles you want man, more power to you but you posted it here to show off, did you not want comments? or just only good ones?

Murdoc Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Unless you do the gradients pixel by pixel, it's not pixel art. "Art" maybe, but not "pixel art" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XerShade Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 I did to the gradients pixel by pixel. I created a sketch of the gradients with the tool to get the pallet colors I needed then pixled it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitinhooxD Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 That's still not pixel art even with you band gradients pixel by pixel cause pixel art isn't about gradients Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdoc Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 > I did to the gradients pixel by pixel. I created a sketch of the gradients with the tool to get the pallet colors I needed then pixled it.Still not "pixel" art. I downloaded the image and scaled it to make sure. They're too anti-aliased for me to believe you used a 1x1 pencil. Looks like you used the gradient tool and a brush to make the highlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.House Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 It's obvious you never heard of color pallets and shading.You better study some Pixel Art before considering that you're really doing some "pixel art"Please observe some things here.Dirt has the Highlight, Normal color, a Darker Tone and the Shadow.The grass has only 2 colors +2 wich are not obvious used for some Light shadow around the other objects.The plant is very interesting, It may look like everything in this image got soo many colors but in fact there are only a few, the trick is, how good you mix them.Plant got Highlight, Normal color and a Darker tone, for the shadow they used some dark purple or something.Btw this image is from Secret of Mana.

No gradient tool you use for a circular gradient has a + pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.House Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 @Xer If you think you've done such a great job and you're so proud about it, why do you even posted this here, if you don't care what other people got to say about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Xershade, if you post something in show off, expect both positive and negative criticism. In regards to the people giving criticism, if you can't give it constructively, don't give it at all. We're trying to avoid a conflict here.

Domino_ Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Your art really doesnt look like pixel art, just it looks wrong for pixel art…..I'v added pallete, can you add your art pallete?Pixeled: [attachment=1073:pixeledball.png] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdoc Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 From wikipedia: "Image filters (such as blurring or alpha-blending) or tools with automatic anti-aliasing are considered not valid tools for pixel art, as such tools calculate new pixel values automatically, contrasting with the precise manual arrangement of pixels associated with pixel art."

Dark Crusade Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Even if this was pixel art (which it's not), why exactly would you show off this and all of it's 9000 awful recolors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XerShade Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Oh just wanted to show you guys how wrong you are by pointing out one of the mistakes I made when pixeling the gradients on the orbs.[attachment=1074:error.png]Now if you guys had taken a close look at it by blowing it up that most of you said you did you woulda noticed the errors in the patterns an automated tool wouldnèt have made.
