First off, I did not send this back but can see why it would be so I'll reply for the staff. The problem is not this pixelart but the other two you have now deleted. When a single pixelart piece is reported as a rip with documentation proving this then the staff has no option but to view the artist's PAs as suspicious to begin with. Additionally, when posed with questions about an accusation because sometimes reports are wrong, we expect an explanation, admission, or proof of innocence. By ignoring this we can only deduce that they are correct and therefore sending PAs back is more likely to happen than not. Naturally we ban if we find multiple rips. The first can be forgotten if communication happens which you did not do. In spite of all that the level of AA in this that you show here is nothing like the warrior sprite you submitted. The third PA you submitted also had no relevance to the other two as far as technique is concerned. Any artist can ake all sorts of different looking art but the skill level shouldn't alter with every piece. Its just too iffy to trust. Which brings me to the subject of trust. You have lost it with the staff for now. You will need to gain this back somehow. I don't have a solution as to how, this is up to you. Maybe WIP threads so that we see the process or some other thing... I'll be right back ;) bak... so this does appear to be pixels. The text is possible to be handmade and even the AA. I just can't trust it. ------------- |

Well personally I see the problem. And indeed it would be very easy to show the process even though I would have to go through the whole animation process which is tiresome.
And as for the warrior art. The ONLY reason i put it on there is because I wanted it as my AVATAR. I will admit it was ripped. :( which is why I deleted it and have chosen NO Avatar until i can bring myself up to make the character myself.
In the whole "Skill Level" thing. I'm just a different kind of artist. I can draw elaborate drawing bys hand. So my whole skill resides in Paper and Pencil. Which is y i started Pixel art to expand my Artistic abilities. (Yeh i know I got off to a bad start.) But I had no idea you guys would so Up to Date on things. I figured i would delete it and you wouldn't even remember but I have to give you props on that as compared to other forums i've been in ;)
I hereby apologize for haveing not explained myself and just deleting the Avatar. and i guess i'll just have to regain your trust as you say.
and also thank you for spending your time on a pixel noob like me. I hope to learn lots about this interesting style of art.
However you will find my shading is at highlevel this is due to my pencil shading custom. but now i realize the fewer the colors the better. again Sorry for the miscommunication.
Excuse the poor grammar and spelling and on another note what doea AA stand for?

First off. Everyone makes mistakes, especially when new so we'll move on from that. You'll still need to gain that trust, k. Second, your ripped sprite is still your avatar < see left Why not start anew with making an original avatar for yourself here (64x64 or smaller). You can even use this thread to show your progress and thus regain the trust ;) Third thing is AA = anti-alias, thats manual AA. Its those grey colors around the black of the letter up there. Auto, computer generated AA is not tolerated in pixelart. Last thing. Maybe I did not express myself well. Yes, we all are artists and create all sorts of things. I was referring to pixelart techniques and how your 3 examples had deviations which were suspicious. Like any art, once you become adept in a certain technique its almost impossible to lose the skill on your next piece. You'll come to notice that pixelartists have great attention to detail. This is because we work in pixels on a pixel level. Our art is all about making the most with the least. You will often encounter critiques on a single pixel within a pixelart piece. This is normal for us. Unlike regular art forums and galleries we focus on technique and pixel prowess above the concept of the art itself. This is how we all learn from each other. Checkout the galleries of those you admire. Zoom in and learn how pixels are placed. I welcome you to explore the vast realm of limitations. Its all so simple, one pixel at a time (OPAAT).

| Lol yea I just noticed that but when I go to my profile the avatar it shows is the Grey Silouhette. But yes I will definitely begin working on my new Avatar and yea I'll be checking out some of the PixelArt that I like. (Quite alot) but yea thanks for the pointers. as for the AA around the letters I manually made the AA because as a pencil specialist greyscale is my mastery. so using shades to blend to the bg is fairly easy however combining different colors togethere seems to bit me in the nib. but i'll work on it my best ;) |
