I strongly recommend you link to the image directly by putting the url in [img][/img] tags, because a) this forum has a zoom feature which allows people to blow your image up several hundred percent and analyze it on the pixel level, and b) the easier you make it to view the image, the more likely people will be to respond.

Select the address, copy it, open a new browser window, paste the address, squint at the tiny image, change browser window, begin writing reply, switch back, squint some more... see what I mean?

You used a photoshop filter on the floor and walls, from what I can see. You also used transparency on that table. This is not pixel art. Jut letting you know P:

At 1,288 colors yet still a PNG, I highly doubt that...

ok just finished a coffee grinder. http://vimeo.com/5489565

i did not use gradients, i did it by hand.

exept the transparency there are honestly no filters and i can prove it too. only look at the espresso machine  , the pitcher and cup. floor and walls are temporary.

Its more so the fact that you are clearly lying that these are not using any filters besides opacity. If you just let us know that you understand that you did use filters, then I would assume most of us would let this go faster. That is it for my replies, I don't want to argue since there is no reason to over such an obvious one way arguement.

Jeez, what's with all the hostility?


Yeah, please do. I don't see anything that doesn't look hand-pixelled cept the trans and the lingering floor pattern that's a part of the rectangular table. Which, karlneal, you say is made by hand anyway. Can you describe your method? It seems like it'd take an eternity without a spraycan tool or tiling.

Anyhow, trans is OK here, but it won't get into the gallery. Just FYI.

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up. I think that's what everyone was yelling at you about, because you said "everything apart from transparency is hand pixeled" after lucas_irineu specifically mentioned the texture on the floor and walls.

Ah well, water under the bridge. Just be sure to be honest and upfront about your methods in the future. Unless you like getting yelled at :D

Something is wrong with that table, it appears to be hovering instead of on the ground, I would re-work its perspective to make it correlate with the other images. 

Looking good. Remember that walls usually have a baseboard at the bottom rather than just going straight into the floor.

[EDIT] Also, the shadow from the round table is all wrong on the wall.

quick edit. could someone tell me how to do a table shadow




Edited by karlneil - 11 July 2009 at 10:46am

is the shadow starting to look better, yes i know i used transform on it


Edited by karlneil - 11 July 2009 at 10:46am

You used so many unique colors just for that tiny star in the painting!

I really like the floor pieces where they change colors. I'd incorporate them into all the floor panels. Just some random arrangement of them in a non-pattern to add a lot of asymmetrical interest to the piece. It would be very nice in my opinion. :3

I think some coffee's paper kleenex dispensers like in the 80s would fit well. Did not find any pics on google.

It's begging for a potted plant or hat rack or umbrella stand or something in that corner by the door. Nice work so far :D

Also, the shadow from the table should be on the stand for the table as well.

@UnHated: Everything appears to be in proper perspective.

tried to fix the lightning a bit

only the tables have shadows

may I recommend adding shadows  to all the objects to make it a lil more realistic
