So i'm working on this new kind of style, makes it look gradient with few colors, look at this and tell me what you think: |

It seems to work well as a gradient. I think you could have used even fewer colors though. I'm not saying it has to have fewer colors, only that if the goal is to have a gradient effect with very few colors then you can actually go further and try restricting the colors even more.
The color choice seems good to me. Because of the light flakes across the outside it kind of looks like a german chocolate cake because they normally have coconut flakes on the outside. |

a new style, a new wip thread. do you plan on sticking with any of these threads and applying the crits you receive? if you want to improve, you have to focus your work toward a single project, not ten a day. at any rate, keep it all in the same thread. |

Well, sometimes if nobody replies it could just mean they need more stuff to work off from your posts. Maybe a before and after of your work, or maybe an edit of what direction you could go with your piece. For example, in this thread you mentioned trying to go with another style. Unless people have seen your previous work or took enough of their time to search your posts/profile, all they really can't give any productive comments. I think bumping your own thread is okay, as long as you add new material. Then people are more likely to comment. If you start creating new threads whenever people don't reply to your old one, it's more likely that eventually they'll just ignore your posts. |

You need to control yourself a little bit because you are making a lot of stuff and experimenting and making WIPs and then submitting to the gallery right away. This is causing people to not want to offer c+c and to vote 'NO' on your art. I just had to send back a few pieces because the NO votes were high :( I think you are going to get frustrated and maybe get mad here and it will be mostly your fault. If you really like pixelling then try to work on a piece with care and dedication and try not to be 'spammy' or the community will ignore you k. You can take all these mini quickie pieces and make a sheet out of them and work on them as one single piece made of many things. I don't know what to suggest other than ...think quality not quantity! ------------- |

I understand, in fact i'm not mad at all, i love that you people have enough interest in my pieces to help me, so thank you VERY much, and it is all my fault, i like your idea of multiple pieces in one art, but what about my piece items? That was thirty in one, and it was downrated?! |

Remember, its not about size or animation. Its ALL about the skills used to create any pixelart piece. Focus on that.

Fine, should it really be fair if you say one of my pieces hasn't gotten enough score within 24 hours of me posting it? I worked for hours straight on Kyotoshi and i thought it looked great! Could you at least tell me what i can do to make it better? I thought my AA was good... |
