Hi guys I had been doing pixelcars from 2005 to 2008, when I quitted due to lack of constructive criticism. The scene just wasn't progressing as noone took their time to give a response other than "zomg awesomesauce" or something alike. Though I remember sending my last work to some "regular" pixelartists who actually gave me useful c'n'c. Today I decided to take up drawing again - just to find out that polish pixelscene where I once sought feedback is, well, pretty much dead. I'm coming to you then. (is my wall of text long enough to be annoying yet?) So, this is my WIP take on kuru-kuru styled Volks Lupo:  Yellow and antialias shades belong to a friend of mine, and I used an old work from Matt as lineart, this one: http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/8128/vwkklupo.png I had problems smoothing side view's hood. Front's roof seems to be to narrow, though I can't change it without editing pillars BUT I fail to smooth them if they are more vertical. In fact I have always had issues with antialiasing. Also, I avoided dithering to give the car a clean look, is it right? Can I have your opinions? And maybe a little help with roof or atialiasing if you're kind enough. |

lookin' pretty nice, I'd work on the http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=8110.msg92434#msg92434 - banding on those head rests
though. it also seems an outline other than black would work better on
the tail lights, worth looking into anyway. ditching dithering was a good call, only would have hurt the piece. for the hood, you're laying down the aa too thick. the outline is now too heavy. just because you have three shades of gray doesn't mean you need to use them all. generally just pay attention to the line as a whole, see where it looks too thick or bulges too much, and adjust accordingly. might've changed the curvature of the hood, but you get the idea:  |
