Not done yet...loosely based on my real bedroom. How do I do carpet texture? C&C is appreciated.

Rather pointless bump, really. 19 views, and not even 2 hrs later. No matter, you'll learn to be patient on this forum. ;)
The room is nice, though the black lines inside the bed outline are a bit...cluttering. same with the red poster. Aside from that, it matches the other rooms in PJ very well. I'm not so keen on floors, but I've seen carpets done with one or two 1px colors used periodically on a single carpet overtone...If that made sense. Good job so far, and I'd like to commend you on the cleanliness of your room.  :)

Thanks for the reply.

When you say cluttering for the eS posted and bed what exactly do you mean? Id like to change it for the better. I dont get the carpet thing...explain in english please? :P Do you mean like 1 pixel on the corner of another running diagonally?

#1 Rule: Don't save as .JPG!!!

Terrible example. I'm not the best with iso, but I think you can see what I meant with the bed and es poster. I would've gone for the carpet, but the .jpg-ness threw me off.
Save as .gif or .png, not .bmp or .jpg.

For the love of all that is sacred, save in .gif or .png!

Also, those reds can use some desaturating, and changing hues to something less pure would be nice to see. In smaller spaces, like the computer screen, black outlines can definitely be removed. Also on the white part of the guitar. It's just wasted space, you could use those pixels to add some more detail rather than just bordering flat colors. Speaking of flat, that pillow is missing... a pillow.

EDIT: Huh... Now that I've read Xion's posts, I realize that we have stated the same things for the most part.

try adding a guitar amplifier and a cable. plug it in the guitar. or maybe add a guitar stand or the guitar belt.~
if you remove the outline of the white part of the guitar, you will then have space for pixel size details, such as knobs and a switch.

i dont think the guy should be in the corner! :\ looks like he's grounded. :D

on top of that, the table looks to short. you cant even slip the chair under it!

the back of the tv... is what bugs me the most. is that a distorted photo? it's so blurry... any ways, one of the thing that makes iso pixelart so disting is how sharp and shiny every edge looks!

Ill add an amp and that. Take off the black outline of the guitar?

The guy I just put there cuz he was in the way, he wont be there in the end. And the TV is complete pixels, I guess I just shaded it weird.
