Title: Title of my webpage (first post and pixel art)
Post by: nepheus on February 13, 2007, 06:40:44 pm

Hello all! I have been watching your amazing artworks for a long time and decided to make one on my own.

(http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u20/nepheus_theone/titulo.png)

This is the main picture (or title) of my webpage called "Vila Supernova" I've been working on. The webpage is about game programming, electronics and stuff like that.

I used GraphicsGale Free Edition to make it and used some tools like "Line Tool" but I still think its classified as pixel art, isn't it?
Anyways, I would like to know you opinions, what you would change and so on. My intention was to make it look like an old videogame title or menu screen. I TRIED to anti-alias it on the building edges but...  :huh: ... the result isn't really good, right?

Good things everyone!

PS: By the way, "Vila" means "Village" in portuguese.

 Looks pretty good. The birds' shape could do some changing. Don't know about the black buildings. That's all I got.

Anyway, I quite like it, especially the sun

Thank you for the answers!

@fil_razorback: yes, it was intentional. I don't know if it will be the final version, kinda looks strange one day after I've done it  :crazy:

@Andy Tram: thank you. The birds were done the simplest way I could imagine, just to add something to that area. What would be a good way to change it? Doing a real bird form or just anti-alising it?

Good things everyone!
