hello,
all you pixellation purists are probably going to kill me, but this was done on MS paint so i believe it counts as pixel art.
If anyone actually likes it i will attempt to do more

Just because you do something in MS Paint does not make it pixelart, just because you can see pixels does not make something pixelart.
Pixelart is an art in which you maintain full control over every single pixel, be it it's placement or colour, as well as the total colourcount of the image.

Also this is saved as jpg, which is bad for pixelart (if it would be such)

Try again, and if you wanna do pixel stuff, work smaller.

What Ptoing is trying(and proceding very well)to tell you is that you did not place each individual pixel by hand,instead,you used tools such as the paint tool.Also you saved it as a JPEG which basically scatters all the pixels around and makes even a work of Pixel ART...look like crap.Though it does look quite good,it's just not pixel art.Sorry man.Better luck next time!

you used tools such as the paint tool.

Paint tool? What is that? The paint bucket, as in fill an area. If so, what is wrong with that. If i want a filled area in a pixelpiece I fill it, I know which pixels get filled, I have control, thus it's fine.

I think Conkerking meant the spraypaint tool.

[Solitaire]

yes...sorry...i'm feeling a bit light headed today and can't think clearly...Oh,and I thought the only tool pixel artists could use was the pencil tool...so..sorry..at least I learned something...

as long as you have full control over colours and pixelplacement you can use whatever, pencil tool, line tool, circles, rectangles, dither brushes all no problem, esp since you can always tweak. And yeh, spraycan is a bit dirty, but can be implemented well if you know how, not the case here tho.

Hmm the Deku needs more texture, it's offspring from a TREE for gods sake..I like the lines, but the shading could sue some work. BUT props, for using such an awesome game

[Stag]

Yeah, the fudge-ing host site went and changed the file type, it was orginally a 24bitmap.
Seems a little odd to want to fill in all of that a brick at the time when it's a shitload easier just to fill in the mass parts and then fine tune it a little.
Yeah, sorry about the texture, tree bark is the hardest thing for me.
Thnaks for all the critiques guys you've beena  great help

[durkadoo]

well, pixel art is more suited for smaller stuff. Not that large piece aren't possible, but it would take forever.
