WIP
![]() Purists and other pixel-nazis might be interested in knowing that I'm hand-pixelling this over a basic 3D model which I first slapped up in Blender to help me get the shadows and light right faster than figuring it out by manual projection construction. |

thanks for the quick response - I just made two different images and didn't know if I could put up both - very different styles

Hey man, I think it looks pretty good, all you really need to do is add clusters and highlights on the crown of the hair, the actual shape seems alright as it is. All it really needs is for you to add the detail.
![]() Also, there's some unnecessary colours going on in the face that you can't even really make out because they're too similar in contrast. Maybe my edit isn't actually needed for this, but the colours you chose for the hair are actually really fun to mess around with. This isn't really a critique here, but just a suggestion, you would really be able to fit a lot more detail on there if you use up more of your canvas depending on how far you wanna take this -or even if you make it 85x85 instead of 64px. So kawaii ![]() |

I've tried an image of half blind Japanese wrestler Yuki Nakai and used the image here as a reference -
http://www.submissioncontrol.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/tumblr_litb8uLWqk1qgdqtgo1_400-300x228.jpg Here is what I've been working on so far. ![]() ![]() It's probably obvious, but I haven't tried to copy the reference image directly in either of these. The reference probably has multiple light sources which is why I'm having so many problems with my first attempt. I like the second better but I'm certain there is room for improvement. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks. btw. The style was stolen with kind permission from JustinGameDesign. Thanks again. |

A pixel stands out as a pixel and becomes distracting. It is always wise to step back and try not to think of what you're seeing as the subject but was shows in more abstract ways to keep ypurself in check. Take the 3 pixels on the left side of the lips I mentioned before and they stand out as 3 PIXELS and they are right next to the exact same 3 pixels that make the nose yet they don't stand out. I'm just rambling about it cuz its weird. |
