Pixel Damuranashi's Amateur Pixel Art

Well, the images are double sized, they are smaller... that count?

 

On the contrary, you show an expert (and I mean expert) skill with countour lines. Your concept of lighting is complete as well. With the mastery of these two techniques, you've already got a consistent style that lacks in no aspect. This is not idle compliment. I cannot stress how impressive it is for an amateur to instantly understand how to use these techniques so well. You're going places, Damuranashi, with such an inertia that nothing can stop you.
But Fresh is right. The next step is to employ more techniques, starting with a concentration on the smaller scales of pixels. Heck, I think you should get Muxuan to mentor you or something. I wish you luck on your Journey, bro.

 

...Verga...
I never expected more than a "Hey, that bunch of squares looks nice" Thanks for motivate me. And I'm curious... who is Muxuan?

 

My personal favorite pixel artist on these forums. Very talented. http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?members/muxaun.20097/

 

Hm...
And how can ask him to teach me or... I don't know.
Also, I think that what you mean by smales scales are sprites. Am I right?

 

Yes, essentially.

 

I tried it. And I SUCK at spriting.

 

That's because it takes skill at the pixel level. I am terrible at drawing, and as such I cannot do large scale things like you can. However, I'm good at the pixel level, so sprites come easy for me. It comes with practice. Small sprites will force you to think about "well what if I change this pixel? What will that do? What if I increase the size by two pixels? What if this color is slightly darker/brighter?"
Then as you get more sophisticated in what the pixel can do on a small scale, you can start using it on larger scale. You'll have smooth lines, texture and miniscule detail, you'll have a lot more at your disposal to make your images really stand out more than they do now.
I started editing Fire Emblem sprites. Maybe that doesn't interest you. Maybe edit Megaman sprites. Make them cooler. Make them more colorful. Make them bigger and retain their same look, just with more detail. Things like that.

 

No Zero?!
>:l
Those are really great!

 

Ok, I'll try it.

Soon he will be here, don't worry.

 

I know this has nothing to do with "art" or "pixels", but there are three donkeys outside my house in this precise moment.

 

ANOTHER triple post. I made this because I was bored.

 

It looks like you're tracing the references. Are you just looking at them or are you going over them?

 

Looking at them.

 

Damuranashi creates his pixel art from copying an existing image, so he isn't showing that much skill in regards to contour lines and lighting (no offense, Damuranashi).

For example: http://megamanx2000.site90.com/images/megamanbattlenetwork/bass.jpg

Why I would be offended? I already said that.

 

Yeah yeah. That's why he needs to work on actually drawing the pose and deciding where the lighting goes. He's still an amateur. But no, those lines are great.

 

What do you people mean by lines? The outlines?

 

Yeah you know how to not make curves look terrible with pixels.

 

The accuracy and overall smoothness of the lines that make up the image. So mostly the outlines. But there are lines that are not outlines.
