"Bad artist blames the software"

This must be Mozart.

Well.. really paint isn't suitable for anything. It fails hard at everything.
But I see your point. Pixel art is mostly done with a mouse anyway.

That´s not true. Watch THIS! Now get yourself a gun.


EDIT: Which tool should I use for the outlines, which size and stuff, and which for the sketch in Photoshop? I am not quit sure ...

Nah, I'm good. ;P
My point is that other graphic editors are much much better than Paint. Sure if you try hard enough you can even do really impressive stuff like on that vid, but in other programs it's much easier. :S Here are some good free editors: Gimp, Paint.Net

Well... it depends on your style. For pixel art you can just use pencil tool.
For full-rendered paintings it's hard to say - many different people do it differently. I still can't figure out which way is easiest for me. My paintings either suck hard or take way too long to finish. :S
You can do everything with just the brush and eraser. I suggest you take a look at brush settings panel. There you can set what should react to pen pressure. For outlines you can set brush size to pen pressure, for shading - opacity to pen pressure. There are those kinds of brushes in default set too.
Also check out these video tutorials (there are PDFs too): http://www.carloscabrera.com.ar/tutorial.html

Paint Shop Pro 9 or any other version by Jasc.
Best pixel art software you can ever get. Period.

Perhaps the Corel versions might work too, but last time I tried (11), it sucked horribly.

I'll mess you all up with this pencil.

[DarkCrusade]

Don´t suggest any programs for me, I got Photoshop CS3

I'll mess you all up with this pencil.

Wanna get some challenge?

DarkCrusade, in all honesty your best strategy is to use your pencil to stab his drawing hand. >_>

Pshhh.

Prison wine.

On a completely unrelated note, Sculptris is officially the coolest program ever. It is by far the most intuitive, easy to use 3D modeling program I've ever seen, and it's free. This leech thing only took around 15 minutes.

It looks like some fucked up Locust from Gears of War

A Sprite ~ with paint :3

[DarkCrusade]

No blood. I like it.

[Chariot]

hey look, it's that same guy with that same face again

[MattH]

Kind of cool in a way.....

Awsum. Would be even cooler if it had more frames though.

By the way, I always wondered.. why do his legs look so short? You do that on purpose as part of this character's style, or you just accidentally messed up proportions?

Yeah, I sort of tried to make that character look skinny, short and quick.
It does have some alternative looks, but think that as a default :--D

WOW! This time his dick is intact, his neck and head are at least slightly believable, he isn't crucified on a swastika, he isn't getting tortured/banging a whore/etc. He's just a normal guy. Or at least as normal as any orange cartoon can be.

Congrats, you've made my day.

This cannot stand! Smiley Guy and over the top violence just can't be separated like this!

I like the original more thought. That dude is awesome.
