Hippoman789 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I dont like how i can see the pixels on the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekobor Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 They are annoying, but if I make them the highlight colour, the edge becomes indistinct, if I make it a solid of the shadow colour they are, it looks too outlined. If you can think of a way to get rid of them that works, I'd love to see it~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well don't feel like doing the grading system, thought this topic died.anyway.. looks pretty good. with the pixel's at the top.. its not terrible.. with a different pallet could look good. My pallet only really goes with what I did. wouldn't be to efficient adding to a different piece. I really like the use of AA on the center of the blade.. something every other attempt on this forum lacks. though.. might of been just lucky with it lol.Next time. Give your own pallet a try so that you can work on that aspect of pixel art.I'd change very little, pallet and maybe slight shading to accommodate the pallet change.Good work.

IceCream Tuesday Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Smooths out edges.Also.. for those dots at the edge.. they won't be noticeable because most likely.. it wouldn't be going against a white background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippoman789 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 You also have to remember, not everyone has Photoshop, so some people cant use AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andiii Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 You can still do it manually on paint. The AA option on photoshop actually overdoes it a bit.For paint, if you have a black outline, best to use greyish colors to blend the black and a white background. It usually depends on those two colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godlord Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 @Hippoman:> You also have to remember, not everyone has Photoshop, so some people cant use AA.Computer-calculated AA is useless for pixel art. The best way is to do it yourself.Regards, Godlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekobor Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Heh, the AA was on purpose, I just didn't know it was called AA until about three hours ago~I'll try out a different palette next time, thanks for looking it over, this is a fun thing to do when bored~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippoman789 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Oh, i wasnt sure if it was done by hand alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongartist Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 ![](http://i31.tinypic.com/s43vvt.png)Its got a ton of colors in it. (A bad thing I know but, its just the way I pixel.)I originally aimed for an S shaped handle but, found it was a little out of my league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCream Tuesday Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 I'm.. Gonna lock this.Not really in the mood to do this anymore.but..Kreator.. I'm surprised you used pure black as the background.. I hope you didn't pixel on that background.But overall.. It's well done.The shading techniques are of high quality not much really to say besides you're obviously one of the better pixel artist on this forum.Ok.. now for you Bong.. Can't really give you a rating on it, its not pixel art.Pixel art uses a painting technique done.. Pixel by Pixel. and.. ONLY that. so no blur programs or auto AA, or even a auto gradient.

No, it's not exactly like Kreator's. Kreator's has a black outline and is on a gray background. Duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
