General Discussion / Re: Me working as a pixel artist
« on: November 21, 2017, 08:25:07 pm »
On Upwork I can't make a listing, but I can apply to existing jobs. I can put my portfolio on it too. I think I'll charge on per-assets based on how long it should take me to make them. So $6/asset or less if it'll take me longer to make it. I can post a listing on byond.com for a cheap(er) listing, I don't think there are downsides to making cheap pixel art on that website.

I see you know this industry quite well. You have written so much here that I don't know what to say- it's certainly is a lot to think about!! I just basically really need a job because I could use more money, even if it's a little more money. I honestly don't know what to do. I know I can and will (if all goes well) continue practicing pixel art but I also need a job. I was thinking in working on upwork.com. What do you think I should do now? Maybe I should first practice a lot and thus improve my pixel art abilities before I go and work? The minimum wage in my city of New York (USA) will be $12 for companies with 10 or less employees, on 12/31/17 so maybe I should work like that starting on that date or some months later? If I will work, where should I work- upwork.com is good enough? These are my ideas.

Hey eishiya, that's a lot you've written there- thanks!! I don't know what to say about all that- I might need time to think about all that.

I just thought that I'd have better chances to work at a really low rate because I'm not a very good nor experienced pixel artist and I could get a higher chance of landing a job since I need one for even a little bit of money. It's just that, charging like $12 or more might be too high since I am not very good yet.

I've made that gun very quickly like 10-15 minutes for either animated or just the frame. The sword took a while to rework it to make it good like this. The character shooting his energy attack (Yusuke shooting his spirit gun) was pretty fast too. If my speed is in question, I could work by frame like you've told me.

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)

General Discussion / Set different opacity for different pixels in GraphicsGale
« on: October 28, 2017, 09:39:35 pm »
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've downloaded the newest version but it won't allow me to install it. It gives me an error.

EDIT: I've installed the previous version and now it all works- I can save as Gif now.

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:
