Pixel Art / Icon/Avatar

Getting a bit back into pixel art... New avatar I decided to make. My Username is Miscdude, so I wanted to make something more miscellaneous.

6 colors...I rather like it, but I can't figure out how to improve it. Might've just been staring at it too long. Any c&c would be great ^^

Aside from some of the rather sharp edges in places like the nose and the lower right(her left) cheek, I think that theres too much mirroring going on here. Most notably on the eyes and the chin line. However, I see no anatomical errors, and it looks pretty nice. Can't wait to see the finished version.

Glad I could help! ;D

Well, I'm no anatomy expert myself, so the leg was just guesswork. I was hoping it would turn out to be somewhat accurate, though. :-[

Anyway, here's a more detailed look at what I probably should have done, Helm-style. :D I hope this is more accurate and helpful.



Oh, something about the way the light shines from the lantern bothers me a bit, and something I should have done in my edit was to add a shadow cast by the lantern. The lantern itself doesn't give off light, just the light inside it, so there shouldn't be a round area of highlight, but a more segmented one, if that makes sense.

I don't know if I entirely agree with your edit, Arachne. It seems to me like that would work better if his shoulder was up higher and his arm was less twisted, but if you look at his hand, you can see that its twisted to the side a bit. and I think the leg would be a bit more upward.

Then again I may just have no idea what I'm talking about...ah well. hope this helps in someway or another.

at the moment, you have his arm's muscles too far down, which really isn't a difficult fix.
the bicep is too far down, which would normally make bending his arm impossible because it was lined up with the elbow. the forearm looks good, but the hand makes it appear like he has two fingers. by making it slightly wider and trying to show more fingers, even with just a few pixels, might help.
His stance indicates that his right leg is stretched to the side, which would lower his right side unless his other leg was either the same position or bent at the knee. Souly got to the other arm already, but I edited it in here anyways to show how it might look. His pose also suggests that his stomach is facing forward quite a bit, so his back should be at an angle. If you decide to move the arm up you might also want to stretch it out a bit...hope this helps.

-it looks like someone posted while i was writing this. their edit fixed up some things too..oh well.

Ahh yes thank you. I had noticed the hair was off in some way...but I didn't think about that.
added shadow on the hair and i fixed up the sides of he face a bit.

updated...

heh, looked in the mirror this morning and my hair had grown quite a bit since i last worked on this portrait...which is odd, seeing as that was only....16 days ago.
I updated the palette, which is now 22 colors, and has a tad different style about it. I also AA'd a lot...
and encase you're wondering, thats the palette in the upper right hand corner...

Pixel Art / two color experiment..
« on: January 29, 2008, 05:17:32 am »
This is going to take some serious work to get looking decent but...
I made something similar a while back and submitted it to PJ, and i got comments saying they thought it was 2 colors and so I wanted to try that now...

2 colors, no transperency
I dunno if i should keep black on red or goto red and darker red or what but...any help/c&c would be appreciated.
heh, I guess this is good, since I needed to brush up on my dithering...

ehehe...the skin dither was a horrible job in my opinion..i really shouldn't pixel when I'm tired.
zolthorg; i know its too big, i wanted a full size pic and a cropped one as an avatar...wasn't clear about that. my bad. i've tried to up the contrast like you said...
is this any better?

also worked out some expression issues and facial anatomy....
thanks for the crit ^^
