[Pavel-Zhukovsky]

As you are the pros in the pixel art ,

i wouid like to hear what you think of these,,
i know they arent "the best"

but give me some feedback what have i missed

Please.
tnx



St Basil Cathedral, made for a collab:



Statue of Liberty , for the collab:

Nice job!
Out of curiosity, do you use fancy brushes of any sort? the cathedral looks kind of.. blurry. Looks fancy brushified to me. And why are random parts extremely blurry and others crisp? it looks mismatched.
the cathedral lacks texture in the bricks and the grass. and the statue of liberty lacks form and looks kind of blobby.
But the color choices are really nice, and the game is cool. ^^

Keep up the good work.

[Pavel-Zhukovsky]

Hey , thank you Coran

okay , the Cathedral was first painted in Photoshop then pixelated,
it's kind of easy to make but then it will be abit mismatched as you said ^__^


thanks again,


and btw this is the Collab




anybody interested in joining ? the area is about to finnish though.

to me it looks like some NPA tools have been used on those towers.  can you shed some light on this, or post some wip stages?

[ZoSo]

Not pixel art for sure.. Brushes and probably photoshop tools has been used on the Cathedral.

:O.

[Pavel-Zhukovsky]

Alright i know this is not the best way to make pixel art,


but this is how it looked before.

yeah, npa, but it's an honest mistake and he made no attempt to hide:

there's a big difference between pixel-sized-art (art where individual pixels are seen) and pixel-art, which does not by necessity denote any size or resolution, merely a practice in which every pixel is placed by hand and, some will argue, with thought and care, though that's not always the case : large brushes, fill cans, and other tools that allow multiple dots be placed with a single action begin to move outside of that if people let them.  Of course, one might conscientiously fill a region with a flat color just as easily as one might hand place one-by-one arbitrary colors, so mostly people allow for other tools so long as there is still careful consideration on some level.  Brushes, however, and any tool which uses a color that is not hand-picked or completely opaque, are strictly forbidden.  Resizing, too, which defines each pixel purely by math (no human input), is out.

Should clear things up?

Товарищь Жюков, объясните трудящимся, почему вы изображаете продажную девку демократии?

Я соберался её без головы нарисовать,,

It would do so much good to the forum if everyone spoke in their native language... ¬¬
When speaking in a non-english language (please refrain from doing so outside of PM), add an english translatoin as well.

[Pavel-Zhukovsky]

but you people won't like what we are talking about anyway.

Alright i know this is not the best way to make pixel art

All technical discussions aside, this isn't pixelart. This is resized CG and the involved techniques are very different.

I suggest you redo it completely, and when you do, there are some basic issues that need to be resolved.
There's a lot of difficult shapes involved in the cathedral, and it just isn't possible to wing it, if you want it to be remotely correct ISO wise. You need to spend more time doing the basic shapes.
If you take your standard ISO base square, it's twice as broad as it is high. If your doing a circle - same thing applies, twice as broad as high. This is basic yet important knowledge, that comes in handy when you do stuff like this.
What you got here is basically a lot! of circles (and a few squares), and because you haven't spent time on the fundamentals, none of them are "correct".
This is a quick demonstration of the problems as well as a suggestion on how to get it right.



Pretty much everything here are based on circles. The standard spires consists of circles on top of each other, and the same goes for the boubly ones.
Since none of them have them correct 1:2 ratio it comes of wrong.
Personally I prefer starting out with squares since they're are easy, and go build the (more tricky) circles based on this. This ensures correct ISO perspective and will save you a lot of time in the end.

Hope this helps.

 If you however don't plan to edit the cathedral I suggest you remove it, since it isn't pixelart.

Even more reason to keep it to PM.
