Whoa. I used that reference for something I'm working on right now.
Whoa.

now i'm jealous because you got st0ven crits
hmph
RE: TUGS \\ First Round \\ C+C - Drazelic - 08-05-2011
Oh wow. I really can't accept the complements on the palette though; I didnt design it myself because I wanted to make up for not participating in that really old Pixeljoint weekly challenge about making an underwater mockup.
In fact, I strongly agree with the diagnosis that my entry's pretty much the least advanced in terms of technique; I figure I only made it because of completion and the amount of work I put in. Hard work beats talent if talent doesn't work hard, eh?

I've added Jeremy's C+C to the first post.
RE: TUGS \\ First Round \\ C+C - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 08-06-2011
Drazelic: well, yours looks most like a game mockup, iirc.
RE: TUGS \\ First Round \\ C+C - Clear - 08-06-2011
First off, I enjoy Jeremy as a pixel artist. However, I feel the critique on my piece focused too heavily on the colors and not on the execution of the techniques. I suppose it goes to show that color and contrast make all the difference.
RE: TUGS \\ First Round \\ C+C - Jeremy2 - 08-06-2011
Fair point. I didn't really know what else to say; your pixelling skills are solid.
(A quick brightness contrast adjustment, has its own issues in lighter tones, but I think it shows my point better than explaining with words).
RE: TUGS \\ First Round \\ C+C - Garamonde - 08-06-2011
Hm, I'm in seventh for this ranking. I can easily see that mine was pretty gradient-tastic, I was kinda stuck on shading some areas (LOOKING AT THAT TAIL FIN GRR) and actually didn't know how to execute the darker shades without there being some gradient effect going on (unless I used fewer shades?). Had a bit of a trial making everything look right. Otherwise I'm glad you like the face and a Milotic was the best idea I had at the time (I'm not very creative these days...).

hoorah! i'm the biggest fish in the puddle!
i totally get what you mean about the (lack of)shading on the near fins jeremy
i mentioned it myself in the wip thread but didn't have quite enough time to improve it
RE: TUGS \\ First Round \\ C+C - [robo9] - 08-06-2011
Welp, last again. So far Ive gotten that its too simple and too small.

Acknowledged. I think I'll try more saturated colors for the next round and see how things go.
RE: TUGS \\ First Round \\ C+C - Strasteo - 08-07-2011
Great! I love criticism. I agree with pretty much all the comments st0ven and Jeremy gave.
I usually do not use lines to determine everything, but I was basing the look out of an Earthbound enemy style, in which lines were used a lot to define parts of the character. Just felt like I had to explain my intent on that particular point that was raised in Jeremy's crit. I'm sure I could've refined it more had I not gotten lazy/had to leave for a trip. :]
RE: TUGS \\ First Round \\ C+C - Ever - 08-07-2011
Thanks for both of your comment, it will serve me well on my journey of pixel work and spriting.
RE: TUGS \\ First Round \\ C+C - Phantom Killah - 08-07-2011
Me and that palette did not get along at all
RE: TUGS \\ First Round \\ C+C - Alex - 08-08-2011
I really appreciate the criticism. I think I tend to try to over detail things, and it ends up making things look sloppy or unreadable. I'll keep simplicity in mind for the future.
Also, I agree with the color issues. I was contemplating changing the blue color after I finished shading, but decided against it. I'm learning a lot about using good colors together already. Hopefully, I will be able to expand my comfort zone when it comes to palettes.
