/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Will you ever learn pixel techniques or just blunder forward and continuing making the same mistakes? Banding is killing this piece, and the tongue doesn't read well

Inb4 a flood of crappy icons

I dont even know what banding is lol

>>1729400
Yeah, that's the issue. Read the tutorial at pixeljoint or lurk at a pixel forum for a few days

why do you care?

Why do you not? If you're not here for critique or improvement, then you're just jacking off your ego by flooding the board with doodles

>>1729424
Im just putting my art online for whoever enjoys it.
This board is not for just critique, its also for artwork.

PixelFriends

Freeze!

>>1729425
No one enjoys it. It all looks like doddles made in mspaint during a highschool computer science class.

>>1729462
do you make art?

>>1729425
That's the ego shit I'm talking about, thinking you're gifting us with this art. Learn to pixel properly, push yourself beyond these repetitive icons,and maybe someone will appreciate it.

>>1729501
So do you make art?

>>1729464
Yes, I do. Is that relevant at all?

>>1729524
can i see?

>>1729526
Here you go. In an attempt to keep with the theme of the thread so far, a mirrored face

>>1729527
Nice! Whats the dimensions?

>>1729528
nvm lo. i do mine 31x31l

I used to dabble in pixel art and sprites way back in the day
How are these, /ic/? keep in mind I was like 10 when I made them

>>1729560
What's the point in critiquing art that's 8+ years old? Some of the faces are decent, most lack contrast. The monster heads are messy and it's too obvious they're mirrored.

OP, do you like souleater?

>>1729583
bu-but I was trying to explain to the guy that his drawing looked like high school doodles by posting an old doodle from high school!

>>1729590
I've heard of it but never watched it.

>>1729597
Mission accomplished.

Yep, those are all the same gun.

>>1729630
>laser sight attaching under the barrel
>no top cover
>improper flash hider and suppressor for barrel length

All those guns are squished laterally, and it's so obvious it hurts my eyes. Please focus on getting your proportions right.

If you're dedicated to pixel art, you should probably introduce some light patches for glint and some dark patches for shadow.

The shape of the lower handguard is also wrong.

Also what the fuck is that laser? Why is it so small? How on earth is it attached? It's absolute nonsense.

Worst pixel art thread ever

>>1729710
This dude's threads are always shit

>>1729711
I'm enjoying it. And if this isn't some sort of satire, then I'm enjoying it even more.

>>1729676
they're real things. i just didn't have the rails on it.

my goal wasn't to make something spectacular. these are merely works of practice. i freely admitted they were shitty in my first post. i've never done pixel art before this. no need to get upset.

>>1729676
idk i've seen those ak handguns before i think they look more or less like that

Here's a piece I did, any thoughts?

Could use some AA, and the shading and lighting on the robot are not the best. The planet and orange things look good though.

Great to see a pixel art thread on /ic/ filled with oc and not the same old pieces made by Helm/Junkboy/Elk/etc.

>>1729795
The anti-aliased background is contrasting too much with the non anti-aliased robot. Don't just scale down a pre-existing image without trying to clean it up. My attempt is pretty sloppy, but you get the idea.

Changed the shadows of the ROBOT letters. I also changed the position of the R and the second O, but all of those letters could definitely be tweaked.

The thickness of the light red outline wasn't consitent.

Added more pronounced shadows on the robot. Originally it was kind of flat. I'm not good at adding shadows, but you get the idea.

Gave the other letters harder edges. Tweaked the stars.

>>1729859
I'd rather look at Helm and Junkboy than the same gun posted 1000x by "one of us". Maybe that's just me.

>>1730009
I just looked at them. They aren't even sprites, they're too large.

>>1729388
I'm a programmer. Trying to work on my pixel art skills so I can make a game that doesn't look like shit.

Here's a nude base character I whipped up. I plan to put some clothes and such over top of it to produce different characters.

>>1730725
Didn't think about it displaying so small. Blown up version.

>>1730725
Looks alright. Could use some more contrast or a lighter outline, unless dark outlines are part of the game's style.
