hello everybody!
let me start by saying that it is a pleasure to now be a part of this fine forum
...
pixel artistry is always something that i have admired but never truly tried my hand at other than the occasional buddy icon or icon for my website...
i have now decided to give it a serious go...
so here is it, my first serious pixel art piece, "the blinking office worker"...
(all office workers have green skin and red eyes in case you never noticed)
so there it is, nothing fancy...
let, me know whatcha' think, how i can improve it etc, any and all comments (positive or negative) will be very much appreciated
...
keep in mind it is supposed to be pretty stylized and certainly not realistic (he's green and seemingly has no arms, nose, or ears) although i'm willing to try taking it into a more realistic direction...
i'm going to go back and try to anti-alias those jagged outlines (something i've never attempted before), also i think the head shading and the body shading look too different from one another (my dithering needs work), the other thing i noticed after the fact was that the eyes blink horizontal while the head/face is turned so they should go diagonally...
anywho...
i have a long way to go before i will be satisfied with my pixeling skills, and i'm going to try and stick with it for the long haul...
thank you very much , i look forward to your comments
EDIT:
i thought it might be more interesting if i added a fancy (maybe tacky) gold frame type thing...
here is the outline of the frame (animation left out for now)...
frame colouring coming up next...
EDIT2:
here is my new update...
15 colours + transparency and i aim to keep it that way
...
next comes more shadows and highlights on the frame...
i personally like how it's coming along, but that's just me
