Date Posted: 14 July 2010 at 11:46am So, I haven't pixelled in a long time, and I'm kinda rusty. Here's an avatar I made for a forum. It started a starry sky, but somehow it turned into a maniacal techno-thingie. I'm not sure how to improve it, so I'd like to ask for some critique. Thanks in advance! Replies: Posted By: Squirrelsquid Date Posted: 14 July 2010 at 11:59am looks good so far - only the banding on the green forehead emblem has a bit of banding. you could also darken the darker teeth color just a tiny bit and use it as a highlight on the face itself. ------------- vote for squirrels crates! Posted By: Vectomon Date Posted: 14 July 2010 at 12:03pm I'm sorry, as I said, I'm still rusty. What's the meaning of "banding"? Posted By: Squirrelsquid Date Posted: 14 July 2010 at 12:05pm I'll just copy and paste what I wrote in another topic: Banding: Banding is basicly, when rows of pixels form, like this: XXXXXXX YYYYYYYY ZZZZZZZ or XZY XZY XZY XZY XZY it's bad because it will always look not sharp, and not smooth too, since it makes the pixel resolution apparent. ------------- vote for squirrels crates! Posted By: Vectomon Date Posted: 14 July 2010 at 12:27pm Oh, I see. Thank you for the explanation.

I think it would really help with the eyes. (btw, are the details in the eyes supposed to be sunken in, because that's how my mind keeps seeing it; it has something to do with the black.)
