Pixel Joint Forum: WIP Weekly Challenge

Message

Hi! I'm new to pixelart, so new to pixeljoint. I decided to participate in this week's challenge: They Exist!
My very first pixelcreation ever. I read some tutorials about AA-ing and I've been watching a lot of profiles on PixelJoint (you guys are all so talented!). I think I might have overdid it a little with AA-ing (especially the corners), but I thought I'd give it a shot.
I made two versions of my entry, one with black outline and one without. I can't really choose which one to submit. Please give me some help and if you see any flaws, please tell me. I've worked almost all day on this piece and I'm pretty excited with the result. I don't think it's a winner, because there's a lot of talent on this site.
Anyway, here they are:

w/o black outlines

w/ black outlines

Please don't ask me why there's a huge pole in the middle of space with a 'don't toch' sign on it. I don't have the answer.

	I'm new too, but if I were you, I'd have anti aliased not only the screen corner, but also the disks edges; concerning the outlines I'd put them, but not black, just a darker gray. I am sure others can help you more than me!

	Well, welcome then. I'll try to work on it. Thanks for your advice. Here's an update: the AA-ing is not really visible. :S The color count is now 15, I believe. Edited by Expand - 10 May 2008 at 4:06am
