Yeah now watch my shading will be my downfall XD

Post by **WassupKiba** » Mon Dec 13, 2010 5:41 pm

thats what im here for right? lol jk

floodfill the colors and pick your light source :3 (thats always step 1 for me)

Post by **VKJuggalette** » Tue Dec 14, 2010 3:41 am

The light source is always the problem for me...it jumps but when I start on it I will update!

Post by **VKJuggalette** » Tue Dec 14, 2010 4:31 am

Starting one piece at a time to get input...ok?

Post by **WassupKiba** » Tue Dec 14, 2010 6:03 pm

sounds good to me.

the cool thing about your base, is that it has a predetermined lightsource (if you were to reshade the base, then you would chose your own)
Because you already have a source then just draw a "sun" in the area its coming from to remind you. :3
i just did a quick sketch of shadows and highlights. feel free to fiddle with it or even throw it out the window

box is finished and this is the start of the shading of the hair....any tips?

Post by **VKJuggalette** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 6:50 am

went a tad further...lol and an update on BB and Dom

Post by **WassupKiba** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 5:17 pm

the girl looks good! try adding a shade of green between the middle and brightest shade though so it doesnt look so harsh. or you can dither, either or :3
as a suggestion, not critique try adding some smaller strands to her hair.

BB and Dom look great so far. have you picked palettes for BB and clothes ideas for Dom?

Post by **VKJuggalette** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 6:45 pm

Subject of Dom, no, not yet, he's normally shirt less but I can't do the scars that his character requires so I'm thinking of a long sleeve shirt and maybe another pair of skinny jeans, and palettes.....uh no. XD

On the subject of riddle box, I'll try it thank you!

Post by **VKJuggalette** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 6:46 pm

I don't know how to dither, T,T

hurrah! You think I'm doing alright? better than my original pixel skills?

Post by **WassupKiba** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 6:57 pm

i think your doing wonderfully. your making pretty big strides :3

Post by **VKJuggalette** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 6:59 pm

Oh yea can't do that...I would epically fail in it.

Post by **WassupKiba** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 7:06 pm

do you use mspaint? (the old version?)

Post by **VKJuggalette** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 7:10 pm

Photoshop so I can do layers...it makes it easier and I'm not very good with mspaint. :/

Post by **WassupKiba** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 7:37 pm

a simpler version :3 this is how i do it

Post by **WassupKiba** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 7:38 pm

i know its not photoshop but you get the idea right?

Post by **VKJuggalette** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 7:45 pm

yeah that makes it more simpler...thank you so much

Post by **VKJuggalette** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 7:52 pm

I kinda took down the color a notch and fixed the hair a bit...what do you think?

Post by **WassupKiba** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 8:05 pm

the box looks good but you need to work on the hair.
quick critique

the hair isnt one peice, its thousands of strands. you dont have to pixel each one but in someway show how soft it is. by doin shadows and main color and highlight as blocks, but the main highlight in strands you get the effect without killing your wrist
