My PU Pixel Art

[PowerPoke]

Hey! Do you like my artwork? I'll keep updating it 

(I'm doing this so I can make my character look like Harley  )

ugly as hell...

[PowerPoke]

Why is it as ugly as hell?

[zylonnick]

Do I even have to answer that...

Your right it looks horrible  I'll work on it 

[Wailord]

I think Mr Pokemon, was saying that as I joke. I doubt you will be able to make your character look like Harley, but hey. Its possible.

Its good effort what you've done. Id just like to point out a few mistakes. Im an amateur at pixel art my self and still have a long way to go, so please dont get the impression im trying to be an arragant fag.

I have circled some points of error.



As you can see you have not structured the building particularly accurately. You can see inside the circles on the roof of your building, that there is no form to it. Which leaves it dented, and abstract. You have also made the same mistake with the door.

The wall its self is plain, and has no texturing to it. The wall of the house has no shading or brick work to it. Here is a Brick wall I designed a while ago.



Although it is not terribly good you can see that it looks much more realistic

The same goes for the windows. Perhaps some light gleaming of the windows

Then again this is an old window I made.



Even though I have not included much detail, you can see that it does make a differance.

Then again im still learning, and very inexperienced, so maybe we could help each other out.

Thanks!  I'll do that  It's much better than saying "That's ugly as hell" *Stares at Ponge*

Im currectly learning from a guide on Isometric Pixel art, since I would love to help out PU. But obviously dont have the skill yet.

Here is the link if you really want to get started on pixel art.

http://www.rhysd.com/tutorial/

It costs about 7 dollars (4-5 pounds)

But is really usefull for begging to get to grips with Isometric, 3d, Arcitecture style pixel art.

Otherwise find a few tutorials on Youtube to start off. Thats how I began.

[PowerPoke]

Thanks!  I think you have the skill! 2000x better than mine  !

P.S I've posted another one! I hope it's better

Look. This isn't pixel art. You're zooming in, drawing some random poop and colouring them horribly. First, learn how to draw. (Preferably Gay Treeckoes) Then maybe you could try splices.
Then go on to proffesional spriting.

[Mr Pokemon]

Definitely try to do some recolors and splicing. It helped me to learn about the colors a lot, and you sometimes have to use pixel art to change things that won't fit. Recolors are actually harder and  more time consuming than fusions. Here, I'll show you step by step how to do a recolor. I'll do Dewott, which is pretty simple.

First, start with the original Pokemon sprite:


Then, select the color you want to use, and find a shade of that color you want to use. Every Pokemon will have sections that are the same shade of its color. You want to fill these in with matching shades of the new color. To change the shade of your color, simply increase or decrease the lum by 20 or 30. (Increase to make brighter, decrease for darker) Here:


Now, there are still blue edges. For those, you will want to make darker shades of the new color to fill them in. If they don't look like they fit, change them. Recoloring and splicing takes practice, you may not get it right on the first try, but don't worry. Keep trying till you get it right! Final product:


The last step is to show us so we can help you become better

Mr Pokemon and I do requests for people for just about anything related to sprite editing. A more advanced recolour would look like this or

Which you can practice after you master basics.

[Mr. Fox]

that is so freaking cool!

[Monzta]

Yea, you get the hang of it after mastering glowies.

(Yes, you need to master alot of things.)
