PS: No pumpkin for me.

Sorry peeter, I can't help, but can I ask why it matters in the first place? It should still look the same.

Cool piece, def reminds me of that piece from iLKke. There are a couple things I could crit, but it definitely looks finished, and you're prolly done with it. Sorry I wasn't at pixelation while you were ^^ The gray palette rocks.

You guys are bullies.

I'm just saying most new people's pixels have few colors and way too much dithering.

skeddles @ 9/26/2009 8:29:35 PM commented on The Dusk Maiden

It's a nice image, but there isn't much pixeling going on. My advice is to work with smaller pieces, if you like pixeling, or do things in another art form. Things this big don't get much attention to each pixel and it's makes it kinda pointless.

As far as the pixeling goes, I'd say don't dither at all, because my stance is "don't use dithering just to create new colors" as you do in places such as on the outfit, but that's just an opinion.

Most people wouldn't suggest to use more colors because part of pixel art is using limited colors, but I think you should, especially on such a big piece. Rather than dithering, you could just have another shade of gray.

I don't get why you used black for outlines on the face, you should use the dark brown like the rest of the body outlines.

As r1k said, you should look into some pixel art tutorials on AA. It's a good skill if you use it correctly. And try to do a piece with no dithering. Please!

Does anyone else notice that n00bs are usually pretty good at not using too many colors?

skeddles @ 9/26/2009 12:36:46 PM commented on C64 Live

He means brought it up to 54 colors, the original amount being half that.

Cool piece, nice use of the palette, and I think the scanlines look good.

The dithering kind of takes away from the piece imo, but the colors are really great.

It could work with encyclopedias, if you put a little letter at the bottom of each one.

That's pretty awesome, but would take a while, and my books are not all the same size!

skeddles @ 9/24/2009 3:58:21 PM commented on Clockwork Rian - intro image 3

I just don't want to type it all. I have been arguing on DA non-stop to people trying to convince them that crappy emoticons and crappy pixel art is crappy, and that you should be able to make a post without it being praise just telling the person how awesome they are, especially when they already have thousands of favorites and comments for some small bad piece of art.

But If I were to make my argument, it would probably consisted of: Video Games should be/could be art, but stupid corporate organizations take total control of the industry to force people to make games for money, and the result of that is that games are consumer targets, rather than the dreams and intelligent ideas of people; which I'm positive would result in much better games. If someone has a good idea, they should make money off of it. People shouldn't just get payed to think them up. And I'm sure if someone works on a game that get's famous, they don't see anymore money, just the jerks who organised the whole thing, who in my opinion do not deserve the money; which is another thing I hate, when people get money they don't deserve, or even when they think they deserve money that they don't.

I could probably  write a 5 page essay on this, because It's something I feel really strongly about, but I just don't think its worth the effort. Those are the major points though, and trust me, I have huge explanations and reasons behind each one. I also hate illogical things.

 

Yes, that's the short version.
