My first attempt NEW PICTUREZZZ
« on: November 03, 2006, 09:26:22 pm »
I've always admired the extraordinarily talented pixel artists here, but I could never get my guns to look good. After about ages of nonstop mspainting, I think I finally have something.

Here's the original picture:


Here's my stuff:






Palette

The shape doesn't at all seem right, but it makes a cool fictional gun. Critique is appreciated.

The top one looks ultra-thin. The bottom one's OK though.

Nice one Rabid... err Charles. ;) The buttstock doesn't look just right, but apart from that, you're golden.

The bright shade of brown is a bit odd. Dampen it a bit, and it'll be perfect. Anti-aliasing can be used to create the effect of a portion of a pixel, considering the gray as the base. Your depth perception is wonderful; I'm glad to see you didn't follow the "bottom is dark, top is light" philosophy many new artists do.

Great for a first. I think the guide at the very end of the barrel should be a bit taller and thicker, and that one pixel jutting out at the end ought to be removed.

For the stock at the back, perhaps try expanding the top part just a pixel or two to the right more, not by much. It could make a world of difference in such precise pixel-art as this ;)

Wow. I like this one very much. Your style is what I really like.

Outstanding choise of colours. Shading is very nicely done.

No other words. Just make more....

^I'm trying to make a small mod, Dairy. The only thing I'm worried about is me getting distracted and starting another project.

well done, nice looking gun, keep it up
My personal theory on this topic is that when you walk out of the room, old people start dancing.

Wow.  Have to say, it looks great.  Could you tell us the name of this rifle, or do you not know?
To sum up my point: We had a multipage debate about toilet padding. (Putting TP in the water so you don't get splashed.)
And we still don't know if dead guys can keep a stiffy.
