Pixel Joint Forum: First post, bad pixel art. Comment, praise, flame.

Message

I know it's not great, probably not even good. Comment anyway! This took me about 2 hours or so to refine, so I'm really hoping for some comments.

4.24.09 8:00 or so: New version. Added shading on the face, better contrast with background, darker jeans, removed unneccesary shading on the jeans (they aren't quite shiny enough to get shaded).

	Looks good for a first post. My suggestions are to try and outline the outside of the person with a darker shade of color. Also, watch where your shading and shadows are; the whole body is in somewhat of a cylinder shape, so why are only the bottom of the shirt and the bottom of the pants shaded?

	there are some anatomy problems. I would try keeping your contrast consistent. For example, the shirt and hair have high contrast but the skin and pants have hardly any contrast. I zoomed in on the picture and noticed there were more colors there than I thought. I would suggest looking at your picture zoomed out, and if you cant tell the difference between two colors, then you should probibly be either using just 1 color, or increase the contrast between them.

	Ick, that's better than mine. The lighting is not flourescent enough though, and the skin is too tan. Nice, though! :D
