wip:

Don't worry, red is coming up.

Posted By: kingphilip
Date Posted: 07 September 2009 at 6:30pm

I will start working on this tonight.

[edit]

My idea is to show a sumo tournament. This is a rough idea of the scene I am going for.

Update 2: More filled in and now with basic color. I think I will try for a spotlight effect on the wrestlers to make sure they stand out from the crowd. I also want to show the kanji for "sumo wrestler" on the banners if it will work that size.

Excuse me, but must the palette be my own, or I can use someone else's?

Posted By: sapphira83
Date Posted: 08 September 2009 at 1:10pm

WIP:

just want to know if this would be acceptable as conflict. i will do the rest of the details later today.

Posted By: skamocore
Date Posted: 08 September 2009 at 1:16pm

@Sapphira - why wouldn't it be?

@On Walls - You may use someone else's palette if you like; but if you do, make sure you give credit to its creator. The only restrictions on colours this week are that you must use at most 32 colours and that pure red must be present.

I believe Lucas meant he was the first one to post his idea.. Pokémon. And Elk's piece is nothing else but marvellous. You'll understand when you notice his/her technique

i followed the noobtorial for the rocks , now i should make a background , bt ive no idea -_-

Posted By: Club Beuker
Date Posted: 09 September 2009 at 4:42am

Arthurio: I see 2 things I would like to point out for you ;)

- The rocks use 4 colors now, You can already achieve this with 3 (besides, the shading is a bit off towards the side.)
- You used pillowshading for the characters, this is a big no-no in pixelshading land. Please fix that.

Hope this can help you further.

Date Posted: 09 September 2009 at 5:02am

thanks for your help
it's really not possible to use the pillowshading?i know it's taboo here but I think in this work it's not really necessary to change it (but if i must do it , i'll do it )
for the rock , i'm gonna try wiz 3 colors , but i think it will be difficult on the large rock .

This is my idea. A very quick rough draft of 2 princesses fighting over prince charming. Im thinking Sleeping beauty and snow white, because both were kissed. XD

my 1st time too to post here. ;3

Posted By: kingphilip
Date Posted: 10 September 2009 at 8:51am

I started rethinking the design because there was just too much going on in the original for this size. Now there is a greater focus on the wrestlers.

Any tips and suggestions are welcome! I should be finishing this up tomorrow.

@Arthurio: pillow-shading isn't taboo, it's just usually ugly and indication of basic misunderstandings about light.
It is equivalent of a very frontal lighting, not what you'd expect to make a nice light, and not one we see in current life except when wearing a headlamp in a dark place, and in flash photography.
If that's the effect you're after, then it's perfectly legitimate.

In your case, the guy on the right could be a good example of acceptable frontal light, but unfortunately your rocks say otherwise.

However, I'd say you have more pressing issues: anatomy, banding, and dithering (unnecessary in the rocks). The guy on the left doesn't seem to have feet and hands: is this intended?

yes, i heard it :D

i have a nice idea, but i cant draw pixel art, i dont have the skill to do that...

i think u have all seen the Firefox ad video (Weeee!) and thats my idea:

i drew the IE icon, but Firefox is a screenshot, and the palette is reduced, but i dont like this :(

yeah, and if you dont understand me just see this video ;)

Like i said i really liked the pose :) maybe try to add a audience in the back that wouldn't be the main attention at the same time.

@Jalonso: Thank you :) I have to say i liked the outcome too.. it's kinda bloody and funny at the same time

I like the shocked look on the guy's face who just got cut.

Also, the highlights on the black hair are really well done. I had to deal with that in mine too.
