Description NEW PIXEL AV TUT WTFOMGLOLBANANA

*couldn't figure out how to add a preview image* :/ Sorry about its massiveness

This is kind of a remake of this one: [link] because I made that tut like... last year after I made my first ever public avatar and well... I really didn't have the skills down yet (not saying I do now - but I certainly do more than I did then!). So this one was done entirely in MS Paint and it doesn't mess with any confusing stuff about layers!! I'll save those details for a seperate tut ;D

I can't wait to use this! I've been searching for AGES for a good one to use and I've finally found a few. I use GraphicsGale for the pixeling and MSP for the Lineart.

Wow. This is truly an amazing tutorial, Rose. I'm fascinated by it, literally, because I've never known where to start making something like your beautiful turtle. The segment on curves alone was a revelation.

Thank you so much.

Good luck if you try it!

TURTLESOCUTE.

and dA took away the ability to add preview images to anything that is not jpeg or png since people kept uploading porn under preview images.

RoseSagae In reply to meihua [2007-03-11 06:21:40 +0000 UTC]

Bummer But hey, anything that means less porn = good by my standards!

Just wait - if I can pull it off, my next tut will be all about how to animate my turtle ;D
