Knives Chau from Scott Pligrim. A test on new brush pens and new paper I bought.

I just failed at pixel art.

I tried to pixel this:



I just couldn't get the fur to look right.

Or maybe the detail overwhelmed me and broke my will :blind:

Here is the farthest I got:



In the end I just shrunk it and touched it up:



Wonder how long it would take me to get that look pixel by pixel. I'll probably never know.

It would take an hour just to correct that pose.

Post a pixeled work you've done in an hour or less.

No, I agree, it would probably only take an hour from the point you're at, at least to finish it up. That is, if you know where to take it. Start a topic! I really love your topics, the outcome is always good and educational. Working from hires to lowres is something I kinda like seeing. I really want to crit it but... D: this is not the thread for pixcrits. And the pixel version has more potential than the shrunken version.

Well I just can't see how someone could make a pixeled version comparable ( much less better ) then the shrunken version within an hour. I do realize I work slower then most people. I doubt I'm THAT much slower though...

I was going to make a topic for this to try and jumpstart my interest in finishing up the next release for my game. Problem is I was fairly happy with how the shrunken version came out. And when your doing as much artwork as I am you gotta cut corners.

So I will instead make a topic for another idea I had in a day or so. One which hopefully won't be such a headache.

I echo the about an hour or less remark, I don't intend any ill will with it, just how long it would take, really.

No doubt that is a good piece helm. And I am sure you did it around an hour.

But that is not any where near the kind grade this piece would have to be. The pose is simple and its a make-believe creature so you didn't have to worry much about correct anatomy. Also I am trying to squeeze important detail from a 400 x 500 sketch into 134 x 150. That takes carefull work.

Tell you what, I will go head and make a topic for this just so I can show what kind of work it takes to do a really stellar piece.The kind of piece that would make even the best pro say "Wow, that's awesome!". I will start with the lines first, so you can see what I meant when I said "it would take an hour just to correct that pose".

I'll start it up when I get back from the gym today.

I agree my old piece is simpler and smaller than what you're doing here, but still... about an hour.
