C64 abuse [wip]

[Fool]

Might want to stop using Photoshop for pixel art. Just a thought, don't kill me.

I'm bad on killing as well.

I don't know what exactly wrong with me, but I don't like the way GraphicsGale handles layers and I'm trying  promotion, but still got a felling I'm visiting relatives and they do not happy about it.=)

It takes time to get used to it, but you'll eventually. Preservere!

Yeh photoshop for some reason handles greyscale different than promotion. dunno why that is so, the colours should be same luma as said in pepto's article and promotion does that with the original pepto palette and i adjusted this one to have those lumapairs as well.

Thank you, guys. I'll try to make it work. One way or another.

All right, I'm stock.



Right here.
Is  there any way out of this?

That looks fantastic!

I'm not sure what bothers you about the lizard's bum. I like the slight clumsiness of the pose, as dragons are heavy creatures.

Something I noticed after looking a bit longer at the piece is the spot where the tail meets the rest of the body, which is obstructed by the wing: If the spikes are to continue up the dragon's back, there must be an extreme twist of the tail in that small obstructed area. Maybe the last four visible tail spikes need to be turned away from the viewer more.

fil_razorback, yeah, it's dragons shortage over there.

Eshaktaar, thanks for the point, I'll fix it when I'll get closer. It not a shapes are bothering me, i try to understand coloring, thats my favorite  pain in a butt. I feel I need dark low saturated tone for the deep shadow and i am out of it.

I'm very sorry that I ever doubted your pixelling skills back at PJ.
That is top stuff. Not sure how to solve the bottom shading though. I guess you could just come up with a darker shade?
