Pixel Art / Forest Scene (WIP)
« on: November 07, 2014, 12:04:36 am »
Hi guys!

Ever since I registered http://www.pixelgirl.net as my website URL I've been meaning to update the backsplash image to something more, y'know... made of pixels. So I've been working on a forest scene I'm going to blow up large & use as my website background once it's finished.



I'm not 100% on the composition of it... Also not sure about all the color choices. What do you think?

General Discussion / Professional Artists - Any Words of Wisdom?
« on: September 29, 2013, 10:17:27 pm »
I've searched the forum so forgive me if this has already been discussed...

Like many people on these forums I am a freelance artist, trying to make a living doing art for people's games. The best way I've found to advertise my services is through the Portfolio forums here and at PixelJoint. Are there any other websites I could get some interest for 2D & pixel art?

As I am getting more experienced I am having to adjust my rates to my skill level. I've found my lower end "professional" rates are at that awkward spot where they are too high for most interested parties but I am not seeing a large amount of more established/higher budgeted jobs that could afford professional rates. Do I need to be pursuing salary positions with game companies at this point or is there still hope for freelance work?

Any other words of guidance or past experiences from the professionals would be really helpful for all aspiring and current pixel artists!

Pixel Art / 8 Frame Walking Animation - First Time!
« on: July 23, 2013, 08:01:50 am »

I'm practicing animating & wanted to try to make a larger sprite with many frames of animation. I just have the basic outline here, I wanted to make sure everything looked ok before I moved on to shading! Is it smooth enough? Is the head bouncing at the right time?

Pixel Art / Lamplight?
« on: June 05, 2013, 08:11:35 pm »


I'm trying to create a crystal lit lamp light effect radiating from this crystal lamp, but the things I tried looked pretty bad... So bad I didn't even save any of the attempts for you guys to see!

Trying to get a bluish-green light similar to the lights found in this image:
(NOTE image is not mine, and unfortunately I can't name the artist as it was sent to me as a nameless inspiration image). Trying to get a cold, industrial feel going for this steampunk project.
Any ideas? I didn't even try doing it with pixels and instead messed around in photoshop, but still couldn't get it to look right.. Is this possible in pixels?

Pixel Art / Help making a puddle
« on: March 26, 2013, 02:17:37 am »



I'm trying to draw a puddle on some cobblestone, but it is looking awful and I don't know how to make it any better. The puddle doesn't animate (so no ripples) and it can't have reflections in it because it is to be used randomly throughout a game's city. It should just be a leftover puddle from the previous rain. Because of this I am having a lot of trouble making it clear it's water... Any ideas?
