Wow, a pillow shading tutorial, I feel like dying.

Believe it or not, a bunch of people find that cool.  X_X  Even more believe it or not, most of them butcher it.  XD

You need to realize that me and Roareye learned to do our pixel art a completely different way, on a forum not exactly art focused.  On the SSMB, the forum of the website hosting SSN, thats extremely good, and considered extremely difficult to master.  To most of them, you guys here would be considered god.  XD  Sprites and PA's are taken quite differently on Sonic forums.

Me and Roareye also have little to no hand drawing skill.  XD  Pixel art is the only thing we've found ourselves to be any good at, especially on the standards of pixel art on Sonic forums.  I'm trying alot of stuff from this website to improve my artwork, always trying to improve, isn't that what makes art so great?  It's always to improve upon yourself, your own work.

Not cool man.  Those are both from tutorials on Sonic Spriters Network.

Mostly in reference to the last guy:
- Are the black outlines leftover from your lineart? Drop them, it's sucking the life out of your stuff! You no longer need the black outlines when you have color to define form.

Well, I usually leave alot of the black outlines, I like a much more defined cartoon look.

- Try using less shade colors. Smooth shadow transitions bring on a negative gradient look.  Shadows are rarely smooth transitions--rather they change intensity quickly from dark to light.
I've noticed this in real life, but again tis something I prefer for cartoonish look.  I started with pillow shading ages ago, and though I moved on from that, I still like the smooth gradiant shading.


I've been searching up a few websites recently, and have found some really good stuff at www.spriteart.com tutorial wise, that should help me alot.  It is something to remember though, that realism in shading has never been a real definate issue with me, I'd rather go with a more cartoon/light look.  I will at least try some of this though, see how it looks.

The Cerberus ones main problem is that it's too stiff.  I showed that to my art teacher at school, and thats what she told me anyways.  It's too straight up, like a board.  I've since been trying real hard to correct the problem.

Edit:  I've had a little more time to think, and I'm begining to see how I can incorporate that, and keep the cartoon look I like.

I found this forum looking through some links on wikipedia, thought I'd like to join and get some of my stuff critiqued.  I'm not new to pixel art at all, been doing it for about 3 years now, I'm not afraid of critique, comments or criticism, in fact I quite like to hear these things as they always help me improve in some ways.  Some of my much older work is on www.ssn.sonicstadium.org  but it hasn't been updated for ages.  I have posted alot of my stuff on my deviantart, www.cyberblade.deviantart.com but I'll post some of my newer stuff here.



This is a friend of mines character called Matt, this pixel art was one of the first I've ever made a full BG for.  This is my newest pixel art.



This is one of the largest PA's I've ever made.  It's Cerberus in a more humanish form more or less.  The armor is detailed heavily, and modeled after real roman and greek armor.



I made this for a good friend of mine, Roareye.  He taught me alot about making pixel art, without him I'd prolly still be doing recolours, if even that.


Anyways, critique is always welcomed by me, especially on the newer pixel art.  I'm always trying to better myself, and every little thing helps.
