Pixel Art / Re: Prince of Bel-Air

Thanks for the replies.
well my thoughts on this are what ive been taught what to do very recently and i am for doing it with every piece, dont use lineart to start off, start with lower values and make your way up. i am for this because it does get the job done quicker.
I'll try that next time to see how it works out.

i've also noticed that your colors are very close together (there isnt much contrast, i think its that one) using more contrast will make problems like clashing colors, so on so on. but, without the right contrast you will turn into a me and people dont like me's.
Yeah, I'm not good at picking colours but I'll play around and see.

Dithering is better as an after thought after all of the volumes and main details are in place, and tends to work much better with contrasting shades to create noticable in-between shades.
And when you dither, use dithering sparingly.  It's not just a way to smooth it, but it makes things look rough.  Just be smart with shadows, and hard shading is fine, after all there's a lot of that in real life!
Yeah, I still haven't gotten the hang of dithering. Can you post an example of how I should do it for this piece?

General Discussion / Re: Portfolio websites

Not really a portfolio but is like most of them except it has no content. I started with a crappy site and constantly updating it. Most of the CSS from scratch and I update it by editing the php and adding content manually. Which is not the best way but I'm too lazy atm and the fact that I rarely update.
if($site=="m"){echo '<title>CrisNMP :: Index</title><h1>New Layout</h1><div class="descr">Feb 02, 09</div><p>Those who want to see the old site click <a href="index2.php">here[/url].</p>';}

Which eventually gets too messy lol.
However when writing the CSS from scratch you might come across problems with inferior browsers such as IE. I haven't bothered to fix it but it works in FF/Opera/Chrome. In IE it doesn't display the content where is supposed to and the width + alignment doesn't work. Also the favicon doesn't work in IE either () As for the colours, they're not unique and I've seen them on other sites.
Beware of my site with no content.

Pixel Art / Prince of Bel-Air
« on: February 06, 2009, 11:18:33 pm »
I'm a beginner to pixel art and I spent the last hour working on this. I reached the point where the face is holding me back and I can't find the right way. So basically I need help making the face look right, any tips or examples will be appreciated :lol:

Also I'm looking forward to any C&C on the rest of the head except for the ears which look really bad.

Some items from here

are recolored sprites from the game 2D game Maple Story. Although I don't recognize the rest someone else will probably recognize them.

Some of the weapons I was familiar with:

Sorry for the one year old bump but does anyone still have this? Or something like it.
