Please help!

You can hopefully see what I am trying to do with the hair but I need some tips for the hair texture. Advice?

I want to use about four greens for the robe (perhaps with maroon vertical stripes] is four enough?

Does my lamp need more yellow or can I keep on using what I have?

Thanks

Can you tell me why? Is it too much? Wrong colours?
Thanks

Oh sh*t, I'm a moron.
I compeletly forgot lamps made light...
I thought genies came out of them, I should probably finish school.

Righto

Then my only crit is the AA, it's too much and WAY un needed try selout instead.
AA just looks so.. bleh. :/

I think its better now. Less blurry.
You should try to make your lineart 1 pixel thick. Would look better imo.

I submitted the piece and then Lollige suggested that the move had been a bit premature and gave me some specific advice - I have made some of the improvements but would like some further feedback.



Some questions:
Lollige indicated that my interior lines were too jagged - do I fix this with AA?

I have decided not to put a background since I haven't any idea what to put there so I'll not AA outside the figure - is this right?

I want to avoid line art between colours is this the right approach? With this in mind I have softened (correct term?) some of the outer lines with different colours (face and hands) does this improve the work?

Then - please don't just look - tell me what's missing - I've got another idea clamouring for my attention and I'd like to polish this off before I start with a different project.

Yeah, i agree with whoever said to make the staff longer, i'd preferably make it so it actually touches to floors surface. Gives the vibe of a "wise, Elder" etc

I also did a small edit, changed the green colours.. changed some other parts too..



Can i just say, you have an awesome character, who was made with lots of creativity

Well, if you're going for a cartoony effect, don't make it as saturated xD

-Quake

Made some further changes - tried to smoothe some lines and worked on shading a bit as well. Redid the facial hair and eye.

What additional detail are you talking about?

When are we going to get rid of the jags everywhere?
the staff and the nose were only an example, but it has to happen everywhere.

Notice the edits on the nose and face, see how I pulled some shading down the nose from the eye?

Go to edit icon details and click remove. NOW FIX THOSE JAGS!

There's a curve, but it isn't the best curve..

if you don't want to change the curve on the staff, then do AA.. otherwise make the curves smoother by doing the curve more consistent..

4-3-2-1-2-3-4

By them numbers, i mean the amount of pixels..

if this, confuses you then search up "pixel art lineart" on google.

Some significant changes

I can see the difference but I don't like the texture and for me its a confusing light source. The nose is supposed to be rough and slightly angular. It's a diificult call - this edit to make me take another look at the face - I made some major changes

even if you're aiming for an angular nose, its not suposed to look as if there was something pushing/molding it.
