Don't save art in a lossy format please (no JPG)

It's hard to see anything with a highly lossy compression.

I also advice you not to make a new thread for every piece of art you make, keep it all together a bit.

So, tell him to give it to you in a proper format. What's the use in posting if we can't critique?

The pixel part has lost already since you scaled it down :[

This is like the 5th jpg you've posted(after several other people mentioning it). A JPG is useless on this board. People will not do a serious critique on a jpg. It's impossible to tell what was hand pixelled on a jpg because of the bleed and artifacts. Pixel art just looks ugly inside of a jpg.

And like Gil was saying about hte multiple posts. There's a limited amount of space on the first page of the board. If you've already got one thread on the firstpage then make a new post on that thread instead of starting a new one.

And tbh, if the clarity was working properly, I think the pixel and vector art would clash violently. The vector side has a different shading stylization on bigger things. Proportionally the two sides are different. The vector is inevitably going to make your side look more primitive because it's going to be smoothly shaded and AAed

Don't use tinypic, they started JPEGizing all uploads. Use image shack.

I tried uploading a png to the image host you're using and it went through fine. The only way I got a jpg was if I uploaded a bmp. I imagine this is what you are doing. If you aren't sure what kind of file you've been uploading, then try this the next time you're on tiny image's website. Take a look at the file address that shows up after selecting your image with the browse button. Your filetype will be shown at hte very end of the file address.

EDIT AFTER READING PREVIOUS POST: I don't use tiny pic very often though, so perhaps my experience isn't typical. I imagine they probably just check the file size and if it exceeds some limit for a certain size then they convert it to jpg. I tried uploading an 800x450 png that was 140kb and it uploaded fine as well. I still think you're uploading bmps.

Just use tinypic, but save the image as png before you upload. No one wants to view BMP's anyways because their filesize it so large.
