Sorry about the bitmap form. When I put it in .jpg it f*cks up totally.
This is the little graphic that I made.[/img]

I must say, your pixelation has increased by leapes and bounds, to say the least. Though his right arm in the first frame is a bit...akward, the face is well done, as well as the hair. His right arm in the second frame is way too skinny, though. And way too long...it seems a bit distorted.

However, you are definatly improving. Keep up the good work. I guess this proves that hard work and practice and someone can really improve.

You are honestly much better with CG work than paper. I'm kinda the same way.

Why don't you make yourself a gifted kid? I did, and so did several other people here.

Anyways, WHAT ARE YOU DOING with the shading on the shirt. It's very very bad. There's no general area of light shining on him.

Also, it suffers the same problem as all of your other pieces of art. THE CHARACTER IS NOT IN AN INTERESTING POSITION. It tells us NOTHING about how he acts, or how experienced he is, etc.

Congratz, man. You are getting back on track, I hear. I know you are a long way from getting back, but on the way you will most undoubtably pick up new and more awsome stuff.

PS: Didn't you save some of the sketches? Just rescan them, if you want that is.

Well, I think that they're a good start, but the upper arms in each need to be redrawn. Especially the arm coming forward in the left one, it looks like a stick.

I agree with MCW about the shading on the shirt: it looks like you took the right frame, and drew over the arm with a darker green leaving a line across.

I also agree with MCW about the posture: Why on earth would he be standing with his body facing the player full on, with his head at a 90 degree angle, facing to the left?

I didn't find much wrong in the rest, so good work.

What's wrong with the bitmap format? Why the hell would anyone post their pixelated art in JPG?

Emcee, the reason why people put stuff in .jpg format is because it reduces the file size, but it also messes up the picture. I put it in .bmp format because of that reason.



The thing is he is in a semi-ready-for-battle-position, and he is supposed to be a little scrawny. Maybe I should fatten his arms up a little bit, and fiz the shading. I should change the angle, to 45 degree. That is called cheating out, in theatre terms. People on here should remember that, because it gives a nice effect. Also, shorten the arms so they are happy.


And, I can only get better. Wait, that's not true.

You don't need a convertor to get PNG, as most programs will save that way, anyway. Microsoft Photo Editor, Paintshop Pro, and even newer versions of MSPaint (Win98se and up), for instance.

And, yes, PNG is smaller than JPG, but still with BMP quality.

I made an update. It's at the top. That's the pose of him walking by the way... just so you know...

Ahhh... I'll bring it down here....

[Hunter Green]

I recomend you hike up the waist about two pixels.

Can do, Hunteroo.

I just gotta say "Thanks" to all of you because you have been helping me get better. I am really happy that no one has came on here and be all like, "You only do that good, and that's all ." or "I think it sucks. Quit while ahead :flamedevil: ." or "You do this wrong " (Without any help.) I gotta thank you all.
