My portfolio there & on Pixelation are quite outdated, but here's a taste of what I've been up to!

Be prepared for this client to ask for custom "samples" for free. Also, if you quote him a number he doesn't like then you're going to get a long hateful email back from him. Tread lightly with this one, folks.

Pixel Art / Re: Forest Scene (WIP)

Hi guys!
Thanks so much for taking the time to do that paintover & for the suggestions! You're both right, the textures are too frequent and the lighting is unclear. I wanted to make this piece full of textures and interesting things to look at since I blew it up to 4x it's original size for my website background, but about halfway through the piece I realized I was in waaaayyy too deep with all the texturing & lack of reference photos. I had already laid out so much it would have taken twice as long to go back through and delete it all. I tried to clear it up some (it was actually somehow MORE textured before, haha) but unless I wanted to restart the whole process it just made more sense to leave it as is, view it as a learning experience, and move on to the next piece. I'd already been working on this for months and needed to get my website re-released with the new background ASAP for the next business year.
I'm actually really fond of the more minimalist style of pixel art -- More clusters and less individually detailed pieces. It's something I (clearly) don't have much experience with and I would really like to get better at. I am about to start on the backgrounds for my personal game project, and I want to learn a lot during the process so I am going to post my progress on these forums. If you guys could help spread your wisdom in those posts I would be really grateful.

Oh!! I came back to what I thought was a dead thread only to find I had actually received some super helpful advice! I apologize for that, after my last post in this thread I really didn't realize anyone else had made any replies. I actually just came back here to revive it one last time to post my finished work, only to find if I had seen your tips I probably would have a better looking finished piece here..
Decroded, your recommendation for the mountains and river highlights were lovely! Because I was combining an imagined foreground with a photo referenced background, I wasn't sure how to go about blending the lighting to make it consistent and believable throughout. Instead of adding more highlights to the mountain range and river I instead lowered the contrast and tried to add more of a slight Swiss Alps haze to the whole scene. It made it a bit easier for me to finish everything this way, but if I had seen these replies sooner I would have probably gone with Decroded's method of highlighting the background. Oh well, there's always another landscape to pixel next. :] Thank you everyone for the great advice and suggestions, I learned a lot with this piece!
