General Discussion / Please help me understand these sprites
« on: August 01, 2018, 12:11:12 am »
Hey! I don't understand these sprites. Help would be really appreciated.

These sprites are the golden knights of the anime Knights of the Zodiac/Saint Seiya. See these(they're based of 3 different characters- each in their own gold armor/cloth):

From a good pixel artist:




From me:



I don't understand why mine doesn't look nearly as good as the the ones above. I don't understand especially why there are so many different pixels next to each other in the good ones above. I just can't find the pattern of those pixels. Please help me out!!

Pixel Art / Please help me fix this guy
« on: February 18, 2018, 06:42:33 pm »
Hey! So I have made this guy based on an already-existing base and I don't feel real good about him. I think I need to do hue-shifting here because the yellow and the blue don't agree. However I can't seem to do it. See:






I thought there was a problem with the colors of the first pixel art guy so I have added more saturation and got the second guy and so I have liked him more. However now I really don't like how the yellow and the blue don't agree. I've heard of hue shifting and thought I need that but I've been trying it and I just can't seem to do it. What should I do?

So since I've used no source, it isn't supposed to be very good, especially since I'm only a beginner. Please tell me what you think.

General Discussion / Me working as a pixel artist
« on: November 20, 2017, 06:46:09 pm »
Hey so I am still a beginner to this but I've improved a lot. I was thinking that while I train, I can work as a super-cheap pixel artist (since I really need a job)- like under $10/hour. On Upwork I'll work for lik $7.50- but I'll make less because of the fees/taxes. Here are my recent original works (most based on a reference)

So I've been trying to do this for literally an hour or more and I still can't do it. I am trying to have different opacity for different pixels. I know the alpha in the RGB does it but it doesn't work. If I were to create a blank image and do make alpha channel, it works. But I can't do it on an already existing image and I can't create a new image, make alpha channel and paste another image to it. Sometimes even the pixels won't be put on it, I don't know why that is. It's so frustrating! Please help me out!!

Hey so I have this software but it won't let me save my animation in Gif; the .gif saving option doesn't appear when I try to save it. I know the free version doesn't have it but the paid one does but it doesn't matter now as the software is now free. I really need this as it's too tedious to use another software for this one feature.

Pixel Art / I'm struggling to make this anime's energy sword
« on: October 26, 2017, 08:45:17 pm »




I can't make this good enough, I guess I need more pixel art practice. The first pic is the reference for the spirit sword, the second pic is my previous spirit sword and my second pic is altering of the second one and trying to make it better. What am I doing wrong?

Here it is animated:

Pixel Art / Shooting gun art by a beginner
« on: October 25, 2017, 10:23:23 pm »


I'm a beginner but I've practiced by copying pixel art. This is what I've made with a source. Is it good for a beginner? I've tried adding depth/shading to the gun with extra colors and included the shooting out explosion without a reference and have the gun move by tilting and maybe moving the original image.

General Discussion / Hosting online to show art on here
« on: October 25, 2017, 09:28:42 pm »
Hey so I was wondering where I can host online to show my art here? I have used photobucket for about 10 years but now they're asking to pay $400/year for this feature. Can I use Google Drive for this? If so, how? I have Google Drive.
