Description ...steampunk that is

Sometimes i like to do pixel art when i don't feel like thinking much, which is a completely stupid thing to want to turn to as pixel art is not by any means a simple thing |D Even if it's on a base. ESPECIALLY AT CERTAIN SMALL SIZES.

Anyway, here we have our teeny tiny Hedone High steamies (L-R):

Zeke (Bar keep), Wei Ren (Military technician), A.E.D (Military Airship 2IC), Izm (Mechanic/salvager) and Marcus (Paperboy)

They're even smaller than FUN-SIZE How this is possible i do not even.

So yah Hedone Steam won in the poll by a very narrow margin (like...1 vote lol) , but i also have an idea for something i can do with dapper suits so you'll all have that to look forward to as well

More Hedone Steam stuff

oh...okay. Sorry I have some anxiety problems. My friends say I am a good artist but I'm just afraid. I really want to be good at photoshop because I want to get all of those dark images into something really good. Sorry If I'm upsetting you at all.

You're not upsetting me, i'm just telling it to you straight lol. If you practice you will get better eventually - it's kind of unrealistic to get a program and then go "well crap why can't i colour all awesome and have my drawings magically as good as *insert a good artist here*?" Everyone was like you at one stage and needed time and perseverance before they managed to work things out.

It's fine to be anxious and want to do better but it's better to actually work on that rather than constantly saying you can't do this or that or that you suck at everything, isn't it?

Trust me Darqx I AM working hard. I am constantly drawing my anime style and my irken (invader Zim) all the time. I'm just to lazy to post it on here that's all. If it's too much to ask can you show me how you fix your drawings on photoshop like step by step.

If you feel that you're working hard to get to whatever art goal it is you've set for yourself, then you shouldn't keep putting yourself down all the time as that really won't help you in the long run.

Well, technically i don't "fix" my drawings in photoshop per say, as i draw everything digitally. And a i dont think a step by step of that would actually help you if you are completely new to Photoshop (technically i have a tutorial available for my super old crappy way of colouring, but i'm not going to link you to it for the sheer fact that it will probably ruin any progress you might be making as it's so old and crappy )

Anyway basically all i do is have a layer that my lineart is on and then have all my colour layers underneath it so if i stuff something up i can erase without fear. I use the brush tool to colour everything and i like to play with layer modes to get the colour effects i want. A lot of this i learnt through experimenting

I've linked you to beginner tutorials before but here's another one anyway. It's for a cel-shade anime style, if you follow the instructions i'm sure you will learn something at least: [link]

Honestly i don't mind if you want to ask me questions or whatever, i tend to answer most things that people ask me

I think you need to cheer up and take some pride in what you're doing though.
Overly negative feelings will just pull you down if you keep believing in them.

sorry...I myself am just a very negative, anxious/nervous, depressed person. Everybody tries to help me with it and I can't seem to get over it.

If you find you're like that all the time no matter what happens, then you should maybe look into getting some professional help for that. You know just in case you really do have depression or something, there are people out there that can help you try and overcome it.

That's good Just keep at it, and hey you never know one day a couple of months or even a year from now you can redraw one of your old drawings and see how much you'd have improved.

Ffffft, look how cute and tiny they are!

The amount of patience you must have to complete something so detailed and tiny plows my mind! I'm just gonna... put them in my pocket.

And AMG WEI REN'S GOGGLES. Every time I see them it reminds me that I need to try and make them at some point, because GOGGLES THAT BADASS NEED TO EXIST. XD

I think it comes from not being able to really do anything else until i finish something somewhat satisfactorily But it was pretty fun, you should try it if you're into...tiny pixel things

BUT WHAT IF THEY SUFFOCATE IN YOUR POCKET?

DO IT DO IT DO IT
