LOL,
well, its not really as bad as all the topless fantasy chickies you see in here, at least there wearing clothes LOL
yes, thats the other girls hand!
so, which is it, more skin tones, or less skin tones LOL
I can possibly see how I could use less than 20 colors. also, while on the subject of colors (forgive me, Im new) but what is with people and the whole "thats too many colors man" am I missing something, you have access to 16.7 million colors, taking that into mind, 20 is not a great deal LOL
I am so bad at lighting, this one more than my last pixel-art, simply due to the complex poses. I think once I add shadows in there, things will look better. The lighting come from the right.
oh, the black hair is sortof a temp thing, I know it looks crap LOL. I didnt actually (at least mean to) highlight the other girls hair, LOL
thanks for the comments. Rydin, could you give me a little more on what you mean by less colors, what would you suggest I do about the shading then?
--edit--
Eck - missed your question first time around, I am 26 years old. I dont know why, but Im good at sketching women!
Moving from sketches on pen and paper, to small pixels was a steep learning curve, but most of my techniques move straight over, which is handy. Check the Line Art thread to see some more of my lines!
