Hello everyone, here is a character that I would like to make better, it's supposed to have rocky texture but I find myself unable to give it to the character.





Help me to make it better, please.

Well... I'm just a newbie but I think for texturize it as a rock you should make it in blocks and then pixel them separately.

I made an example:

If your character is stone, then I think that you should think in terms of more angular shapes, and maybe stay away from brown colours to make it clear that we're dealing with stone :P

Here is an example I found (from Maple Story I think?)



When you glance at it, you can't mistake it for anything but stones, because of the blocky shapes, and the scrapes and chips go a long way to help emphasize the fact. Hope it helps!

Take a look at this for an example to convey rocky textures in multiple ways.
Does scaling an image blur it?

If you are so intent on the rounded body, you might want to texture it a bit.

Sorry, but that looks like dodging the texturing and instead using lot of small items on which texture is useless ... quite not the same.

I am terribly confused how should I do that charaka. Due to a lot of hardness and confusions I have decided to drop that piece and move on. I am sorry to let all of you who commented and tried to help me, down. But I assure you with your help I'll make better icons ^_^
