Weekly Challenge: Emancipate Your Harddrive
ohh, lol i didn't know the palette was a restriction my bad. in that case brilliant!
x-death- do you mean the way I used it or the actual palette? Because the palette itself was part of the challenge restrictions:)
the palette on the girl could have been better, but you got my vote ;)
I think it would have been funnier if you made her tits ridiculously long and thin.
Either her crack is misplaced or her underwear is. Other than that I really like the dithering on the legs.
Pretty funny. Maybe have his pupils a bit bigger, and higher? That would give me the impression that his eyes rolled back.
That negative space between her legs really did improve it a lot.
My only doubt is about the light - if the shading shows that the light comes from the right side, shouldn't the shadow on the floor be oriented accordingly?
i like the new bra alot! well done. the head outline seems a bit "i cut this out of a magazine" whereas maybe more lumpy would be better.
maybe the preview you could make it 64 by 64 and just show the hand and none of the legs. maybe that would make it funnier for people who haven't seen it already.
That's what was missing in the original challenge!
Agree with sharprm's edit, too.
Her legs blend into her bum :S Where are her "cheeks"!? Good pixeling but really worrying anatomy-wise!
no problem i think the expression in the edit is a bit weird though. something that i didn't do in the edit and i hope u play around with is making the hand look more like a claw. i cant find word for it but it should be the opposite of relaxed.
lol sharprm, I have to admit I wasn't quite convinced that I should change it at first but after seeing your edit I definitely agree that it looks much, much better with the negative space and the slightly adjusted expression. I'm going to work on it some more today for sure. Thanks a lot:D I was going to add some more details like a bra somewhere and a maybe a whip or something,lol, but thought it might crowd it or something but now I think I'll add some of them in. So yeah, thanks again!
you really need to lower his body and head so there is some negative space between the panities and the top of his head. not only because negative space is good but so it doesnt look like he is rubbing his head on a giant lady.
could the expression be improved? maybe make his mouth more open.
the legs are a bit bloby for them to be a color reduced photo imo. goodstuff overall looks like a difficult pallete.
edit: did an edit i39.photobucket.com/albums/e199/sharprm/change.png
tried to make him bald but he looks like a clingon. anyway, the changes that i think are good and important: negative spave for head, dont shade area around hand, make folds so they draw attention to hand.
Lemme' guess: He thought he was getting a stripper but <a href="http://pixeljoint.com/pixelart/32452.htm">actually got this</a>? ;D
Very nice work!
okay. i already dont thought really that you reduced that.
@bitswitcher- I actually tried to dither normally at first but ran into problems. I did the mans face first and didnt need to dither but with the legs there was such a great difference between the colors that normal dithering looked incredibly bad because the colors were just too far apart and the dithering looked too regular and didn't match the style of the face. I thought for a bit and decided to try this style since I've seen a couple of people handle dithering like this before. If the palette wasnt restricted I'm sure I wouldn't have had to do it this way or thought of it but for this piece regular dithering and no dithering werent very good options;P
Actually this is pretty much exactly what a color-reduction with floyd-steinberg dither and some post-retouching would look like 
. I'm not saying it can't be done by hand...but for a first try this is pretty impressive even for an artist like Shannon, almost Jocher-impressive 
I really hope this is legit coz I really like this picture.
i think his head looks a little odd, but that's just me... other than that i really like it :D
She's just trying out a different dithering...
Personally I'm particularly fond of the shoes :D Good job Shannon
thats why i want to see a wip, or a reference. its just because, in her other pictures she use the normal dithering, and thats nice. this dithering isn't really nice. i also dont think that, but it would be nice if she post the wip or the ref
;)
I don't think they are a color reduce. I don't think it would be easy to color reduce into a predefined palette, and make it look this good.
And they do look good. Nice work.
I was all like 'this is late' then I realised it's the challenge where you do old challenges.
the legs look looks like a color reduction. sorry. can we see a wip or a refference? and you dont submit it for the challenge ;)
Brilliant colour use. Looks like you weren't even restricted palette-wise :)
i lolled for this picture
I adore this. I also love how the girls you make are a li'l bit thick. ;D
