Description This is a Step - by - Step Tutorial of how I made my sprite for my pixelID: [link]

A few people asked my how I did it~ So I decided to make this. I hope it helps people who are still in the process of making their Pixel IDs!! ...or just pixeling in general

Just a disclaimer, this is the way that I pixel, it's by far not the only way, or maybe even the easiest way~ but it's what works for me.


*** ALSO! This Tutorial: [link] helped me out a lot when I was pixeling. Definitely read it if you have time!

***Pattern overlay from: [link] CHECK HER OUT SHE'S AWESOME.

Excellent tutorial! I think I'm gonna have to try this, and since you've broken it down and made it less scary (it's been like 10 years since I played with pixel art), I think it'll be do-able. =3

would you be able to do it with Paint or paint.net?

ProdigyBombay In reply to pstj0126 [2007-08-26 17:49:00 +0000 UTC]

You may. It would be hard because you wouldn't be able to use layers, but you could still pull it off.

Kairisia [2007-08-17 16:45:29 +0000 UTC]

i don't like it. of coure if it's for pixel ID action. if not - that's okay. i don't like it cause there is to much SOFT shading and the glowing. it should be more like in-game character. more simply.

lunar-eclipse In reply to ??? [2007-08-13 22:33:27 +0000 UTC]

This is a very nice tutorial and useful, I am sure, but I was wondering whether you realised that this isn't actually pixel art? I am not trying to be rude or anything, I really do like the image but the way it was made, it's simply digital art, not pixel art.

I am sorry if I've offended you, this wasn't my intention, I merely wanted to explain.

ProdigyBombay In reply to lunar-eclipse [2007-08-14 02:44:19 +0000 UTC]

You haven't offended me, I'm just tired of having the same conversation over and over again, since you're probably the 5th or 6th person to bring that up to me.

...Its not "pure" pixel art if you want to be literal about it, but in my opinion, it still stands more in the pixel art category than it does in the digital art category.

lunar-eclipse In reply to ProdigyBombay [2007-08-14 08:45:51 +0000 UTC]

I'm sorry, I didn't realise there had been comments like this before. I did try reading the comments from before but you have too many :S
Thank you for not being offended and for listening *hug* Even though I don't quite agree with you, I do realise that we are entitled to have different opinions.
And I still find it a beautiful piece of art

ProdigyBombay In reply to lunar-eclipse [2007-08-14 17:21:12 +0000 UTC]

lol, thats fine~ I can understand your point of view and I hope you can understand mine.

And don't worry about not finding the comments before. I don't expect you to read through all of them.
