Pixel art

[Mike_Toreno]

So, I've been fullfilling sig and avatar requests here on GFX R & T, But I thought I needed to test my skills in Pixel art, This is my first try, And it took me about 45 minutes, I don't mind critiscisms, As long as you give me useful information and help for me to work on this, Here it is:

It's not too bad, actually.

 

In fact, I quite like it.

 

One piece of advice I have to offer: Never save another piece of pixel-art as a JPEG. It ruins the quality.

[Superilldude]

I like it allot Mike, keep it up man. Just one thing, make the door a bit higher since it looks like a house for midgets and you should keep working on it by putting grass and continuing the sidewalk. Great job.

Thanks Kayuni and Superilldude, I will work on it, Yeah I know, I learnt that the hard way, I did one in paint and saved it as a Jpeg and it screwed up so I started again Photoshop.

Why do they have a gate in front of their sidewalk, but no fence connected to it. I'm pretty sure gates usually have a purpose..

Give me a break man, It was my first try ever, Anyway I've modified it alot, So tell me what you think:

That's a beauty Mike, I like it very much and I didn't know you were good at pixeling before. One thing you can add as a detail is a bit of cracks in the road or some dust and so on, maybe add a car passing by. Now start working on the fence I say keep making it bigger and bigger whenever you get the time now and then.

Better work on that perspective - It's way off. The houses not lining up, the road stripes working against the perspective. It generally looks quite... off.

 

It kind of looks like you did it like, off the hip, with no real idea of the end result - but maybe that's just because it's so damn blurry. Never save such graphics in JPG. Never. Either keep it BMP, or stick it into a program like Photoshop and save it as GIF.

 

Good luck ~az

Yeah, upon looking at your second piece, I noticed the perspective was off as well.

 

Try to get a basic template to help things line up or it ends up looking messy.

 

Not bad, though. But there's a lot of room to improve.

That's pretty good, but the door looks smaller than the windows.

 

But still good.
