	I like the toast but think they would go for a knife not a fork.

	Yeah really nice! the tip of the fork really needs improvement and how about it showing the fork to an innocent sauce bottle or a slice of bread would do just as good. (I THINK)

	I like it much better with a fork... because it's kinda like a trident and that seems far more devilish to me.

	My apologies, the fork is far better (knife looks stoopid, I just thought knives are assciated with toast more than forks). It's this new commander thing, its gone to my head

	But how would the Toast get a Fork? I never use one when i eat my toast. And it is less that Knee-High so it wouldn't get to the utencils drawer. ouuOUU... or maybe he crafted it out of the the half eated piece of a fallen commrade... ouuuu that would be wild. yeah well to the relevent comments... If you are going to use the fork i suggest makeing it more fork like. i have not encountered forks with triangular prongs on my daily travels. yet... And i am wondering what his other hand is doing. and where are the spreads that it was attacked with? just some questions to concider (consider? conscider? oh I dont know)

	Butter dripping down him would be cool. I'll give it a shot. I'll try for the fork again.

	I didn't do the butter yet. But I added a new hand, some color, and fixed the fork. Oh, I also touched up the eyes so they look more natural and not just glued on. I need someone to help me with the shading, I just can't understand the concept of it. I tried following a few tutorials, but I failed. Edited by Souly

	Don't save in .jpg format. No one can really help you with shading until you show your attempt at it. At which point it's easier to see your problem and to help you refine the piece. Just start shading and it'll be easier on your potential critics to identify your troubles.

	Try upping contrast between normal shades and highlights so they show up more. It could use some AA too, but the shadow placement is good.

	Looking good. Perhaps you could improve it by making the crust color stand out a bit. And color the fork silver using blues (not too blue) rather than greys.

	Haha, Shark, I just spent the longest time doing the exact same thing. I figured that he's evil toast, he might as well be dark. Then he's also probably crunchy and so on, so dithering gives a decent texture. Some main parts to take into consideration with highlights are the lips, cheeks, brow and, although he doesn't have one, the nose. They usually protrude far enough into the light to be caught by it heavily. The brow and upper lip stick out far in this case, so it's important to make then get a strong highlight. Then there's how shiny the object is. Notice the strong highlight in the eyes makes them a lot shinier than the dithered highlights along the brow. Shinier the object, the more contrast it has. Then there's other stuff I'm sure you can figure out from looking at it. Edited by Blick

	I almost want to make a strawberry jelly to compliment these characters. damn you're good. I actually thought your texturing (especially the rippled sort of effect on the crust sides) was a lot better looking. And I'm really not that impressive at pixel art. I don't even know what I'm doing half the time, I just eyeball everything I do. I see Ptoing and Helm talking about unifying palettes and using colors to aa not based on hue, but just on luminoscity and making it work and I have no idea how they even make what they do work. I'm just a kid with some [very] loose knowledge on lighting, color theory and character design.

	@blick: i think you have one of the most perfected dithers i have seen. I am inspired by your shark everytime i see him, perhaps we could use him in the pixeljoint game as a boss?? I have tried the techniques of helm also, eg try aa'ing sumthing in pink with a dark green shadow, and i just get a load of crap. Any lineart will look good with the right pallette, and is the skill i need to perfect most, colour choicing. souly: i like mr french.
