Thats what i have so far, the left is my attempt to make grass, the right is the fast grass that born2die made for me, to show how he would do it.
As you see it's not working out with my one and id like suggestions on what to do with it, this is something i realy want to finish.
Please also tell me if my anatomy/proportions are wrong, i learn the most from edits you make fast/detailed.
Thanks already !

Some short crits:
The grass should overlap the rocks
The lady her arms are too short and her head is a tad small
The pose is a bit stiff and static

Thanks for that, I'll try to work on it, but still i dont have a grass tutorial :-[ . I"ve looked at some very good pixels on pixeljointmade by great artists, and it all looks simple, when i try it .. it looks.. just spots with dots .. not like grass :yell: >:( :mean: :huh:
Also, what do you think i could do to make her look less stiff .. :-[
(Also thanks for the reply to a topic like this, because not realy much people reply to noob art here .. at least thats what ive seen :D, so thanks for that to)

Looks good but no shading on the rocks or the girl the rocks are just 2 colors. and this is just me but i think it would look "cool" if there were like vines and grass going down the rock a bit :D but then again I'm kinda crazy :crazy:
-
BlueCheer i suggest you read something about "the meaning of WIP" ;)

I hate to be rude, but I can tell you just took the easy way out. Your not going to learn if you don't keep trying something. Scrap this new version, and start from the beginning. And actually take people's advice, rather then quiting.

Im actualy rather new to pixeling (pixeling itself, because ive been around at pixel forums for more then a year now, so i pretty much know what i should know to start off) and i got adviced to start with easyer things, (born2die adviced me), so thats what i did, i will finish the first version after i finish the new version. But for now i could use help on the newer one. Thanks anyway :)
-
The best two things to start off with are grass and rocks. They are one of the usual elements used in tons of games.
-
Well i asked for a grass tutorial and well so far i havent found a decent one yet .. so thats why im not good at grass :(
-
You honestly didn't read the grass tutorial that almost every single person here knows about, and has read.
Well, here it is:

And I really hope you have already read all of Tsugmos's tutorial:

As a matter of fact i have read them both, the thing is i want grass ...thats not for tiles, because if i put my sig full of the grass the guy says in his tutorial, then i will get thesame thing over and over again .. i want difference, and i dont want it to look like a game pic, just like a normal pic .. but im currently experimenting a bit with grass so ill see what i get.
Thanks anyway :y:

Well it kind of evolved to this, yes it's runescape related and maybe you dont like i post this update... but i just want to practice a bit and well i like runescape so i might aswell pixel about that. Please help me a bit with the what i got so far, i think the guy on the right is a bit off and i wouldnt know how to fix it so ye.. how to make it a bit better?
-
Well i think the guy running, being shot or whatever is very skinny and his head is a bit small. you should also add a bow string to the bow and maybe some of the ladies left hand visible under her right arm like she was going to shoot the bow.

ye.. what can i say :-X

There's too much AA on parts of it; the spikes and her hair look very blurry due to over-use of the technique. Quick tip: putting AA on the tip of something usually accomplishes nothing but blurring. AA-ing 45 degree lines is usually about as effective.
The piece looks pretty good, but the AA is mostly un-necessary and only serves to blur. Good luck finishing!
P.S. You might want to change your signature:
The maximum allowed size for a signature is 400x64 pixels, DON'T make it bigger or an admin will remove it, repeated nonappliance can result in getting strikes.

I totally agree with robalan about the AA thing.
Also: why are they completly black while the bg is a daylight scene?
Also the lineart of the guy falling is not very good. For example the legs are to thin at some parts, and the upper body looks like its sitting 2-3 pixels too high
-
Well we should be looking from out of a cave to the outside, the 2 persons are also in the cave, i know that there should be some lighting though but .. i dont quite know how i would do that, and if i delete the AA, then what should i put in place because .. well it will look to.. un-AA'd ???
