Hey glenn. Ik zie dat je toch al best ver bent met het maken van pixelart. Je schaduw werk word steeds beter als ik kijk naar je laatste art. Probeer eens een groter beest te nemen of maak je oude arts wat beter. Kijk anders op Google naar de beesten die je aan het maken bent voor de beste schaduw. En kijk natuurlijk ook naar de arts van andere mensen.
Hi glenn. I see that you are far in making pixelart. Your shadows are being better after seeing your last art. You need just some tips for shadow. Try to make a bigger animal or just make your old one better. You can look the animal down on Google to see the best shadow. And always look to other people their arts.

Don't worry about your English. You might actually want to add legs in the background. It's only standing on two right now. ------------- "pwnage comes with patience, practice and planning." ~ Jalonso

Not bad work. You seem to only be lacking in pixelart techniques. Keep at it and look around the forum and the gallery for tutorials, samples and general questions you may have that already have answers. Its all here, if its pixelart. Welcome. *more Dutch o.O, what is it with you people and pixelart. ------------- |

Mark was a game programmer professor on a university in the Netherlands He developed a game making program for his students He remade and remade it, over and over, published this on the internet All Dutch people downloaded it Created their own games with Gamemaker. Now gamemaker is known all over the world, but biggest non official GM communities are Dutch. For games you need sprites For sprites you need pixel art And there is some guy.. ehm nevermind about his name who links the most talented spriters to PJ.. just as this one... Great you joined glenn! (ik ben die ene persoon van dat ene forum  )Your animals are nice, but to make them look more realistic, you will have to study the skeleton structure of the animals and pictures of them. This is very hard actually.. I think your best work right now is the ship, thats why I will be giving C&C on thatone. Lineart is good enaugh at the moment, the colors could use some more work. To start with, it might be usefull to have more contrast. This will make the ship look less flat, and more intresting. Also, allways reuse the colors you have used before in pixel art. I also changed the hue a bit. Next step is to get your shading more accurate.. you have only shaded the front part.. the front part shows that the light source is on the right.. than the right part of the ship should be light aswell right? I have changed a few more things aswell  Now try these steps your own :) Als je het niet begrijpt, geen probleem ik leg het graag in het nederlands uit voor je :) ------------- |

Lollige, (lollig is goed XD)
Hmmmm... who will be that guy that have tell me about this forum.... hmmmm
 The things i want make better is more textures on the skin on the animals.
But that will be so difficult...
I understand, if i first made a skeleton and make it a different image as the animal itself than i can make a skeleton and than draw the skin on it and save the skeleton with the skin as a different image.
 That will be the most difficult thing i have ever done.
 But i can try it.

If you mean a skeleton as in bones I sugest you just make a wireframe lol.
As for texture, its not that hard really. The gallery has many great works and can probably show you how texture properly on all these animals.
Good luck ------------- "A little pain never hurt anyone." - Blueberry_Pie |

@Blackdragon,
for me it is really hard to create a good texture.
Because i pixel maybe 6 monds.
And the most of things i made are sprite's.

i think the fox look off because it doesn't have a neck if you give it a neck of sorts so the head is a little higher it would like better

Welcome. *more Dutch o.O, what is it with you people and pixelart. Jal shush  It's only that the dutch are fans of the oldschool 16 bit games (which brings you to pixelart). Plus the fact that they are known for their patience @TS: Nice going there, there's a start for everyone. Just keep on working and practicing and you'll become a true pixel artist. ------------- Without me, it's just aweso |

You really spend too many colors on those.. I did not count them, but I think I have around 5 colors less than you had. The less colors the better! EDIT:  ------------- |

| I think that you should spend more time on your sprites, instead of making new ones. Woah, what's the count of Blue shades on the plane? 9? You seriously need to reduce the colour count. Good luck. |

(Using a translator I conduct the following message) Uw lijnen zijn goed maar gebruik minder kleuren. Kijk op leerprogramma's met affects zoals het dithering, glans, en texturering, en alle drie hiervan kunnen tot het blik maken beter met minder kleur. |

(Lol, in the US its midnight XD)
Xeros guy, It is for a game thats very sunny, and the makers of the game like it very mutch
Talos, Translate this :P :
Dankje, ik kan het proberen, maar zonder Pillow shading (goede spelling?) weet ik niet hoe ik het zelfde 'schaduw effect' terug kan krijgen.
And i make pixelworks only a half year, and i am only 11 (over just 3 monds 12
 ) |

Hey Glenn, Het is niet moeilijk om ditzelfde effect te krijgen zonder pillow shading te gebruiken, zoals je misschien weet is pillow shading de big nono. Het minst aantal kleuren wat je gebruikt om te shaden is 3. De neutrale kleur, de lichtste kleur en de donkerste kleur. Je kan met behulp van dithering 3 kleuren erbij krijgen (lastige techniek). Om een buis (want dat is een vliegtuig eigenlijk) te shaden zonder pillowshading te gebruiken stuur ik je even richting de tutorials die hier op PJ staan (homepage en dan even zoeken in het menu). Hier staat ook een aardige tussen over het shaden van zulke objecten. <translation> It's not that hard to get the same effect without using pillow shading, you might know pillow shading is a big nono here. The least amount of colors you have to use to shade is 3. The neutral main color, the lightest color and the darkest color. You can use dithering to get 3 more colors (hard technique). To shade a tube (because that's what a plane is) without using pillowshading I'm redirecting you towards the tutorials floating around on PJ (Homepage, and then search around in the menu). There's a nice one about shading objects like these. </translation> ------------- Without me, it's just aweso |

Bedankt voor de informatie. Ik heb een paar tutoritials gekeken en gezien dat er geen pillow shading wordt gebruikt, nu heb ik gedaan wat ik veel zag: Thanks for the information. Ik have look on a some tutoritials en i saw that there isn't use pillow, now i have done what i saw:
(Some 3 or 4 colors lesser XD)

Now up your contrast a bit. It'll give you more depth. I might give you a little update (if I can find the time) Edit: And if you do it right, you might end up with something like this or this or this with some AA    ------------- Without me, it's just aweso |

Hmmm... I don't like the contrast very mutch...
But i can use that way of making a sprite for other games :)

A direct translation is: Dankje, I can try it, but without Pillow shading (good orthography?) weet I how I it can ' shade get same impact '. Meaning: How can I get same impact without Pillow shading? (?) I think |

lGlenn, it appears that this has been said already, but i'll ask you again: are you asking for help on how to improve these images, or you are just showcasing them? If the idea is to ask for help, you have to actually show any kind of progress(or interest, or something) on these, based on the comments that people gave you, and please stick to one image untill it can be defined as 'done'. this is not any kind of rule, but a least give us a sign that we are not wasting our time. on the other side, if you're just showcasing these, please be warned that the forums are not the best place(while indeed it is not the place) to do it. you are encouraged to submit these to the site's gallery, but honestly, based on the images you have posted i would not recomend this for now. you decide. ------------- I ate leel's babies |

Almost all my works never get in a game.
But almost all my work is just practice things.
