<grumbles> So, um, I'm sort of apprehensive about this, seeing as everyone here is so hardcore awesome, and I'm, sorta, not, knawaddamean? Anyways, rip this apart I guess, I want mostly to know about my shading, that being the biggest thing on my pixel to-do list. http://imageshack.us"> A 25 year old dude in the year 2010, member of the local medieval warfare recreation dudes (MWRD, to you peasants ;D) hefting a nice wee-er, huge sword.
Hokaye. This is pixelart^.That is a nice pixel you might say. Round?- I mean, uh, blow me away with C+C please! ------------- Oi. |

I like it. But I dont like the red outline. It kinda ruins it, and it's too trendy.

Great stuff! Really good in fact. I really like how youve used some
colours, like the shadow on the left of the torso, thats great. Hmm what could I suggest for this, his ungloved hand is a little hard to make out, perhaps it needs just a little of a darker tone in there to give some definition. And the only other thing I could say is how you have your colours distributed, its mainly on the legs. Just watch for clashes between bright tones and shadow tones, you might need to get a tiny be of AA in there to smoothen. I would daresay such a liberal use of your highlight tone on the entirity of the legs is sort of killing the shading. Try to imagine the texturing, the wrinkles to be precise, not being there on the legs, as far as I see it there would be no real lighting on the legs, if you get me. Basically Im just saying youve got shadow tones in zones of highlight and highlight tones outside zones of highlight and its working against the overall shading of the character. THERE! I think I got out what I trying to say   |

So. Uh, the highlights are too harsh, is that what your saying?
Also, thank you for the compliment, my palletes are a source of difficulty, I'm glad someone likes a bit of it. ------------- Oi. |

Yeah, the blue marerial it too shiny, it almost looks plastic. Also, I
think there are a lot of unecessary creases/folds there, it looks like
he has never used an iron, lol. If you look at your own jeans, you
should notice that the folds are usually only around the knees, groin,
and feet, and even then, they are usually quite subtle. I like how you've used that shade of teal for the shadow on the left. |

The pants arent jeans, they aren't even cloth, just to say. They're like those lightweight, satiny smooth sports pants. I wanted to make it adidas, but I couldnt fit the stripes.
I would never shade jeans like that. ------------- Oi. |

Ahh I think the hand is much better. I know what kind of material you
mean now, but I dont think there would be wrinkles on the top of his
left leg, it would sort of just drape down. The spud dude is great, some fine fine palette work. |

I don't all together agree with that, thank you for the crit though. It's just that he's idle and bending his legs, so the pants have been ruffled a bit and theres as of yet no reason to unruffle. Yea? But if you really insist, I'll try an edit. ------------- Oi. |
