ख़त्म!

Where to begin... the picture is a result of my religion and excel lesson today. For this picture I passed the time while my teachers spoke about the origin of Ascension Day (another word learned today, yeah. By the way: Is Ascension Day somewhere else in the World / Europe / Continental Europe used for massive alcohol abuse in near forests? Or is this part of the last bit of "unique German culture"? Anyways, somehow I'm pretty ashamed of the country I'm born in, but hey, who's not?) and about possible questions in final exams. This sentence became to long, so I stop it and won't read it a second time.

It is really interesting. When I started at pixel joint with the "Forbidden Fruits" I did not now anything about "graphic techniques". A bit about dithering, but that was all. Now, it seems like that I learn with every new picture a new aspect of techniques. I take a small step with each pixel art piece I do and upload here. Not metaphorically, but literally.

For example: Before I did this picture, I wondered why my palettes look so stupid. Ugly. Disgusting. Desolate. You probably know what I mean how they look like, now. So I took two pixel art pictures I really admire from this page (these two), downloaded 'em and examined random of their colo(u)rs with MS Paint and came to the conclusion: Darker colo(u)rs have a fewer saturation than lighter ones. So I tried this in this picture to do the same. Once I always just turned the colo(u)r darker in Paint. You can see the result in my other pictures.

So... what more... (I don't want to forget something in this text...)

I did this with MS Paint, of course. The "fading colo(u)rs" between the green / blue and the fat white border took a long time, a lot of try, be not satisfied, and try again. Not very funny.

Yeah... anyways. I'm too bored to count the colo(u)rs. Again. It must be about... ten or fifteen. White, five or six blues, five or six greens... anyways.

So much text for such a mediocre picture. 

Oh, what I forget: I can't fight the feeling that the idea of this picture is stolen from another pixel art of this site that looks pretty much the same. If I'm right, please post the link to the original. Thank you.

Yep, you're right. A background with 6 pixels width isn't that good for approx. twenty repititions.

Very good use of dithering. Only the background is a bit too repitive with the dithering.

Thank you for your kind words, and for fav-ing one of my pictures for the first time (I think). It's a long way to great pixel art...

To me, it kinda seemed like you were dumping on yourself about this picture... But I actually think it's really nice! Now, I'm no master of pixel art, but it seems like you used dithering correctly, so that's good!

I like your picture a lot, and that's a nice little story you have there! :D
