Stan's Dump Of Many Things Which Need Crits

[madartiststan]

I know I've been going a little overboard with the WIPs    but I've just been pixeling like crazy ya know? So I've been working on this sort of last minute for the weekly challenge on pixel joint. And so far I'm loving my lines and loving my colors, but the design on the right side is giving me a bit of hell and I'm considering chopping it off completely in favor of something simpler and easier on the eyes. I'm going for a sort of keycard kind of look to it.

But the AA I tried on the right side REALLY failed me.   But please crit it hard so I can make it much, much better. Thanks!

I suggest you convert one of your threads into a dump, otherwise you'll never get any crits and you'll just continue spamming this forum with new threads. try focus on one thing will ya..

Erm, good idea Terley. Thanks I think that makes sense. Could some mod possibly change the name of this thread?

Here is the menu so far:



Just got some basics down of shading and a character portrait outline.

Just started a tree, something I've never tried before.

It would be no problem to give you critique on this, but to be honest I think you should work more on ONE piece instead of starting something new every 5 hours and leaving the other stuff completly unfinished. You don't learn very much from starting something new as soon as you get problems with what you've started before

Oh, I've been working on other things as well. It's jut I haven't posted much. I've been working on the character menu and trying to do something with the turtle as well.

Just taking a little break from some things I've been making, I've sort of abandoned the character selection screen as it doesn't really strike me as something that I will like in the end. So I won't put all I have into it.

Was working on a small project with a friend, for some fun and experience. Just finished drawing out this rock and was wondering whatcha thought?

make some bigger things not so small things :O my biggest piece was...huge! its like irl...if you practice drawing bigger things it takes a bit longer but the results are much better =O

[ndchristie]

i completely disagree elk - working small teaches composition and form - you cannot afford misplaced pixels etc.

speaking of misplaced pixels, dithering is a wicked no-no at this size with your colors.  try sticking to surfaces before you think about texture.  the size will amke the picture appear relatively smooth anyway
