I'm typically a technology guy who's ready to try anything that seems like it would help finish pixel work at faster pace. Heh, that even includes using two mice if I could find a way. I've tried tablets, they were a little slow and clunky for "pixel art".

Now I am wondering. Has anyone here ever tried doing any pixel art(with their fingers) on any of those new Touchscreen laptops that have been coming out?

- I'm curious to know how fluid things were.

- How accurate were things. (I wouldn't mind taping a pin to my finger or just using nails but there are limits.)

I made this earlier, I'm posting it over at different pixel sites for anyone needing some help with photoshop.

Hmm, whats this about Arne? Anyway, this response was mostly directed towards Xelados post.

Okay, so we've got alot of different views here, many sharing similar concepts...Lets say you were to place yourself in a scenario where you as artist were to be browsing a forum and happen to stumble upon someone using your entire palette in their art. You mean to say to me you wouldn't be tempted to confront this guy? If you were to accurately place yourself in this position I'd imagine rather than "recognition" from people, the true motive here would be "respect" from that fellow artist.

I think colors are more important then they're being spoken of here. Last week I left this thread thinking of posts from Bob and Ptoing, happy with the replies. But then Skamocore brought it down to a single pixel and thats what made me think, "thats what it really comes down too". But as soon as you expand it it becomes something to talk about. I browse pixel art and when I glare into the creations I feel as if the colors are the heart of the image. Not only that, the way an artist uses color are one of characteristics that help define that unique individual. I personally believe it's one thing to glare at someone's work and try to micmic the palette but when you just ink it it's a lazy and ugly habit. The least you can do is give credit to the guy who takes the time to make his own plattee.

I think you missed my point, I read you saying you're having trouble making your version look exactly the same, then you need to copy it more precisely, right?

(Just incase, I want to remind people I bumped this from 9 months ago, what I was asking for in the first post is different from now). Instead of just trying to do the whole animation at once, I'm now just trying to do this step by step. I already have references. What I'm trying to copy precisely is one of the clips of the reference. Once I finish copying one of the clips I can proceed to animate it.


I need crits on how to make my aura(left) look more like the one in the screenshot(right). Ie. I need this to match.
