First Pixel Graphics
 

Well, I have made my first pixel graphic. It is also isometric. Tell me what ya think and where I should go from here.

Thanks

nice gfx trevor, keep up the good work. <deleted advice because it was messed up ;x>

Hey, that doesn't look so bad, nice work, sorry I have no comments on how to fix it :(

Thanks for the comments guys.

I don't really understand what you mean Scotty, sorry :( .

Well, I am trying to develop a shading technique now. And, it is a lot harder than I though :( . I posted an example of what I have but I don't like either one really.

btw, I am using MS Paint.


sorry for double posting :X

I never understood how people excell in MS paint ;x

It's quite simple really, you just select your color, select another a slightly higher shade, then repeat the process, smoothing out the bumps! :D

Well.... maybe it's not that simple. I've never understood how I came to do well.

Let's compare, shall we? Take my first bomy, for example: Nero. Crap shading.
Take my last bomy (so far): Zal. Big difference.

So, I guess it just takes some practice, eh?

Practice? Definately, but I wouldn't know where to begin.

When shading, basicly think real life.

First look at a couple of objects, and see how light shines onto an object and casts a shadow onto the object.

If you have light coming from the top, shade under the object and under anything that limbs out from the "torso" or main object.

i have never used any other program but MS paint :(
i really wanna learn how though ;_;
MS paint > your mom

lol see those robots in the other thread? I made those with ms paint.... Its very easy one you get the hang of it ;).

I use MS Paint for all my pixel art too.

Easy to use, until it comes to LARGE pictures, which becomes a hassle. Anyways, all I us in paint, is zoom x 8 then paintbrush smallest size, then draw away.

Heh, well at least you appologized for it. Some dude posted like 5 times in a row a while back, really burnt me...

Also, *ahem* you guys stop giving away leet MS Paint secrets!

we need to have an MS Paint graphics contest thing
ZEN our the mod hold a contest for the best thing you can make in MS paint!!!!
prize is a pat on the back and bragging rights XD!

Yes... I must agree. I work well with small pixel graphics, such as icons and yeah.......

Big stuff is a stumbling block however.... and right now I'm working on something to help me get over it... so... yay?

hmm, a contest..interesting. How could I be sure that entries were made entirely with MS Paint?
