Pixel Joint Forum: My first pixelart

Message

   Hi all, 
Yesterday I didn't go to school, because I am sick.  
I started searching 'pixelart' on google and got 'inspired'. I finished my first piece and I wanted to hear your opinion. I don't really like the 'club' sign and the balcony on the roof is too small. I also don't think the shadows are right. Now that I am looking at it, I don't like it at all.. but hey, it's my first pixelart. 
Well, hope you like it, otherwise, comments are welcome, in fact, I need them. Hopefully you can give me some hints for my upcoming pixelarts.
Thanks! Tirza (Amsterdam, Holland)

here it is:

and without the colours and sign: (I like this one better)

Oh, PS: Can anyone tell me how you can make your pixelart moving?
Do you need a certain program for that? Is is simple?

	Oh, wait I made another pixelart. This one is a lot easier. It's supposed to be an iPod (mini). the battery is too bright and the font isn't right, but at least it looks like an iPod. :) I followed a tutorial on (I think) another site and added the 'hold' button, because that one was missing in the tutorial. And this is a simple polo-shirt. Again, I think the 'shadows' are wrong, but I don't really know how to adjust them: Tirza Edited by Tirza - 10 November 2007 at 9:23am

	The colors look a bit bright in that first building, drop the saturation a bit. And I think the iPod is NPA, I dunno, maybe.

	Yeah, that might be the reason why I don't really like that one. Ok, well at least you saw it was an iPod

	Don't you think the shadow of the balcony on the roof is kinda wrong? I made that very quickly, but didn't know how to make it better. I also don't think the 'club' sign above the door is good.

	The red building looks wrong because the colors crash. Try using colors that go together (if you don't know what these are read on some color theory). The white building looks ok, just Anti-Alias the lines and it'll be fine ;] Windows don't look to bad though.

	met je karakters zit je een heel eind in de goede richting, maar je gebruikt nog heel vaak de line tool. pixel art draait om de volledige controle en verantwoordelijkheid van iedere pixel. als je met de pencil tool werkt en klikt kun je veel beter bepalen wat er gebeurt. hetzelfde geldt voor schalen van plaatjes en gradients etc. Op school moeten we deze periode 5 stukken tekst schrijven, ik maak een ervan wel een tutorial over shading ;)

	Dit is opbouwende kritiek. Heel erg bedankt! :) Ik moet denk ik nog een beetje wennen aan het feit dat je gewoon veel tijd en werk in je pixelarts moet stoppen. :P

	Yo Dutchies! xD I suggest you should take out the little mistakes in the iso-building, it's on the walkaway. there are different lengths of line, in a line which should be straight. -Sp ps: Eindhovuuu!
