Forum :: Artists :: My 1st pixel -Black mage costume (ff series)

*note: updated*

here it is ^_^

Have to add shading! this is the #1 thing people always forget when they first start pixeling. Adding the shading makes it look more real and less like blocky intellivision graphics (1980's games).

Here is a great tutorial on pixeling by Roefl that I think will help you. I recommend it to anyone who is starting to pixel. It will explain how to shade and more.

I really like the hat so far. keep working on it and it will look great!

Arna's pretty much got it covered.

My number one advice, aside from proper shading, is Isometric.

The armor is flat on the body right now, and EO and all of its derivatives are Isometric. Pretty much proportion it so that we see more of the character's [Left] body side, and a little of their [Right] side is hidden, or turned away in a sense.

It gives a sense of simplistic 3-D artwork.

It looks ehh.

I agree with frost. It looks... Eh... xD

2 things i'd edit?

It's freakin' flat.

It has only like 4 colors. xD shade.

Us people, we are strange, are we not? We deny all hatred, accept all love. But what lurks behind
each and every one of our temporary minds? The exact thing that we believe we hate.

try not to just draw it on top of the char try getting the red robes from eo and re colour it it blue then just add more detail               (thats how you should start of your first couple of pixels then go into drawing over)
