General Discussion / Re: Where do you want to be in 5 years - artistically and professionally?

« on: February 19, 2007, 11:31:43 pm »

In 5 years I'm gonna be 18, probably tryin to find some job that pays me enough. I'll probably also be workin' on education so I can be a zoologist. I wanna do fleelance pixels in my free time.
Artistic: I want my ability to stick to a style to increase, and I'm interested in C64. Mostly though, I just want to be good enough for the graphics on a game I plan to work on to be good enough. I also want to draw better.

I get that. I think :p

That's what I got. I kept the shading, but toned it down a little. I smoothed out some things so they were flowing, and I added a highlight down the center where clouds aren't blocking the light. The glimmerfish's scales also got a highlight, making them shiny and wet like. I moved the drops to where I thought you meant they should go. I moved some shade placement and changed how the splash was shadded. It looks better to me now.
I have to get it in by tonight :p.

Bottom row second to the right is so awesome. The rest are awesome too, just less than that one.

I considered possibly remving shading on the sea, or dithering it instead(jalonso's suggestion).
Alright, I can change the placement of the drops.

Thanks, and I've been told that I should make some small, dithered clouds in the backdrop. I suck at dithering though, and I have only a little time left, so my clouds may not be perfect.

The
Rainbow ocean is named after both the way a chemical in the water splits light into a stream of color and the regal glimmerfish that inhabit it. Glimmerfish are rare fish whose main length of the body is covered in many hues of scales. Its scales attract light, but then reflect it, causing light to seem to emnate from it. It swims without fins by wiggling like an eel. It is actually a sub-species of dragon, formed when a water dragon is born near the current. They are quite small.
The water waves in a consistent pattern, and seem to be leading in a current that circles the world. Anything in its path is immediately changed to a new set of colors. Clouds are unable to fly low over the water without being separated into colors and falling into the water. Birds dislike flying over the water, because of the chance of a glimmerfish leaping out and spraying them with a the colored water, with is heavier than most water.

I wanted to type that O.o. C+C on the image. I don't know what to put in the sky, its empty! Also, palette help please. For a duel at Pixeltendo with Opacus.

Nice, Souly.

Nope! Just the B&W colors and shape do;). But that doesn't mean its not awesome. Still, I can't see the dark blue polka dots on the back leg unless I zoom in. And the hair's got no contrast.

*agrees with Aero Vision*.
