New Pixelation? Did I miss something?

pkmays · **Reply #8 on:** December 08, 2006, 03:26:39 am

Um, yeah...Years of good, bad, and ugly art posts; server crashes; board wipes; chaning faces; drama; war; love; death; sex; murder; and oh so many hehs.

Does anyone still have that girl Tsu drew who used to be on the side bar? (I think that's where it was) I can't remember if it was on Pixelation or GDR, but I'd like to remake it using this palette.

Checkworth · **Reply #12 on:** December 10, 2006, 05:48:25 am

I like this palette very much. =)
I like my picture less so, but here it is:

I am still working on the hair...every texture I try look like plywood $:-\$

Great entries everyone

"Out, damned spot! out, I say!--"

[Turbogirl]

an unfinished exercise, blah! but the palette rocks, no doubt.

Ryona · **Reply #14 on:** December 11, 2006, 08:44:37 pm

Ooh! So far every submission I've seen is very nice!

Here's mine. A little small, I know. Aw well.

Btw, the palette colors are beautiful.

ZoSo · **Reply #15 on:** December 11, 2006, 08:46:11 pm

Ryona thats awesome, i allwais like sprites and pieces with breast.. Greatly done. And yea Skurwy that looks awesome you gotta finnish it

.

Ryona · **Reply #16 on:** December 11, 2006, 09:17:00 pm

Haha! Your comment gave me a good giggle, ZoSo. Ahh...good stuff.
I'm pleased you like what you see.

And yeah, you gotta finnish that artwork, Skurwy. The eyes alone are gorgeous.

skw · **Reply #17 on:** December 11, 2006, 09:35:53 pm

I don`t think I will ever finish it, but thanks for the comments!

female satyr, hah, that`s good! :)

Kren · **Reply #18 on:** December 11, 2006, 10:41:29 pm

>_> I'm trying to improve.

took me an hour or less, also the nose is an exageration >_< it's not a real portrait, just a fantasy to say it that way.

MoD · **Reply #19 on:** December 14, 2006, 04:14:21 am

Crate, "folded and unfolded." I messed with perspective but I don't know if I got it right and the horizon may be in the wrong place.

gliding · **Reply #20 on:** December 15, 2006, 12:45:19 am

WIP but here it is

Ryona · **Reply #21 on:** December 15, 2006, 11:57:34 pm

Nice head, Kren.

And that perspective on the crate is kickass, MoD. Though I'd make the middle line up, and the last one at the back more narrow in length (not width).

Oh, and I totally love the guy you made, Gliding. He looks cool, charming, and adorable! I really like his outfit. Very sharp.
The head kinda reminds me of Krillin, which is cool.

...Also, I am easily tired of "girl + gun + mecha - underwear" type of artwork...

Well there ya go buddy. *wink*

[edit for critiques]

Checkworth
I like the mood. I suggest you utilize the palette more to separate the character and the background. A bright character on a dark background, or the opposite. Outlines are another option, but I think that piece works best without them.

Ryumaru & Skurwy
Finish! Why on god's green earth would any sane person not finish a beautiful piece like that?

Ryona
Love the pose and character. She seems to be suffering a bit from tentacle hair like the kunoichi did.

Kren
Don't be afraid to throw in colors into the skin tones other than the obvious yellows and oranges. A lot of the time the value of a color takes precedence over the actual hue, allowing a lot of room for experimentation

MoD
The bottom box looks okay, but the perspective lines on the top box seem to be meeting at a point somewhere above the horizon, which may explain some wonkyness in it's appearance.

gliding
I'd suggest you figure out what the pants are made of. If they are something shiny like leather, then make it clear that they are shiny with thin bright specular highlights. If they are made of something non-reflective, then block out the shades and avoid anything that looks like a sheen. The head and arms, for instance, clearly communicate the surface of the skin. The pants on the other hand, leave me scratching my head.

Ryona · **Reply #23 on:** December 16, 2006, 12:53:12 am

*imitates Joey from the sitcom "Blossom"*

Whoa!

Aside from the obvious drop-dead sexyness of the chick, this is one VERY well done piece of pixel work! I'm greatly impressed! It's so beautifuly designed. Gorgeous artwork, pkmays.

You top dogs make me so envious!

Meta|Fox · **Reply #24 on:** December 16, 2006, 04:23:15 am

Small 'n' Wierd I know...

Had fun with it though. any crits?

Oh and pkmays...

damn you.

alkaline · **Reply #25 on:** December 16, 2006, 05:47:59 am

if you see a different colored version that's because i tailored it to its original colors afterwards.

awesome stuff guys btw.

Helm · **Reply #26 on:** December 16, 2006, 05:59:52 pm

what?! How often do I get the chance to immitate Shirow?

Ryumaru · **Reply #27 on:** December 16, 2006, 06:45:26 pm

"Finish! Why on god's green earth would any sane person not finish a beautiful piece like that?"
because i dont want to show the community my lack of knowledge of the anatomy of the lower body?

pkmays · **Reply #28 on:** December 17, 2006, 04:09:20 am

Helm: Looks like she's getting...frisky with my girl's gun. Rrrooowwwlll.

Ryumaru: I see your point. : P

Meta|Fox · **Reply #29 on:** December 17, 2006, 10:25:18 am

Well, it took me the entire day but i did it.

(Updated Version)
Still not as good as Pkmays and Helms and I'm sure it took 8 times as long to make, but for my level of skill I I'm very happy with it. i think i should probably eat something now... you know... before i die and all.

Larwick · **Reply #30 on:** December 17, 2006, 12:53:29 pm

I have a serious urge to add something to that..

Looks really pro. I'm not sure how well i would cope keeping all those jaggies though

I'm such an AA freak.

But for the moment i am lame so i just recoloured one of my recent pieces and made it my avatar (didn't completely fit though).

Lol i am sooo lazy.

Zach · **Reply #31 on:** December 17, 2006, 01:30:16 pm

ooo, nice helm and pk.

.TakaM · **Reply #32 on:** December 18, 2006, 12:53:38 am

very cool helm and pkmays, just one thing helm; your girl has that style that screams of an american cartoon, it really just comes down to the hair, the size of the breasts and how far apart they are in this case

she actually kinda reminds me of... april from the ninja turtles cartoon.

anywho, this is a great topic, lots of good stuff here

Helm · **Reply #33 on:** December 18, 2006, 02:18:35 pm

As I mentioned, this is Mashamune Shirow style mostly... not really western.

http://www.motorballer.org/images/shirow/poster/gh02c.jpg

http://www.motorballer.org/images/shirow/poster/gh04c.jpg

so on... It's not really how I usually draw women (or breasts) but I thought it a self-imposed challenge since pkmays quipped about my 'girls, guns, anime' comment. April's a good, but not intentional, likeness however.

gliding · **Reply #34 on:** December 18, 2006, 10:38:07 pm

Although the comment Re: her breasts might not be the most valid it still looks a bit western to me. I think its her face- she kind of looks like a girl from those archie comics; quite lovely, though.

Scotteh · **Reply #35 on:** December 30, 2006, 02:22:40 pm

He had a bad day

poor soul

Some really awsome work guys, Cant wait for the next palette
