Custom Cutman Mugshots - superdimentiobros - 03-29-2011
I made some custom mugshots of Cut Man, the robot master from Mega Man 1, the second greatest robot master ever.

Let's see how you do against... KUNG-FU CUTMAN! YAH!!!!
RE: Custom Cutman Mugshots - Cobalt Blue - 03-29-2011
The circle tool, the line tool and the paint bucket.
thats all.
though i'll give you some credit for doing something custom, this is barely has anything remarkable or particulary impresive. you might as well keep working on something else since i doubt there's much left to do with this.

Use better shading.
Use anti-alising.
And uh...it looks bad. Just bad. Sorry dude.

tl;dr use better everything.
Pixelart is a kind of art characterised by precise pixel placement, and no tools will make you reach such precision. Notice that the circles get rough on some places.
Also making mugshots that only change one facial feature is totally amateur-ish.

It's Cutman, yet the scissors on his head don't even budge. What

Glad to see you're taking criticism on board.
Could we maybe have some kind of rule against just saying "fix the shading" or "this is wrong"? Saying "Hey this is wrong" without giving any pointers for how they might fix it isn't going to help anyone improve :/
It's only fractionally above just saying "This sucks" in terms of how useful it is, tbh.
RE: Custom Cutman Mugshots - Garamonde - 03-30-2011
That's right. Sorry to say Gors but I'm afraid telling him to "use better everything" isn't really going to help him much...
[mod note: gors is never saying use better everything, ironically]
Superdimentiobros, like KoopaEater kind of said, try experimenting with more shading, and also more than one shade, but not go overboard. Also try smoothing out the mouth, so it isn't "flat-edged" and more curvy, and of course use anti-aliasing.
If you aren't sure what that is, this will help. I'd try working on simple animations as well like moving the scissors as well as the face and mouth (if that's what you're going for) when you've got a good design down so it won't look too static.
Don't give up, every first-timer starts out like this.

only, I did tell him not to use MS Paint tools because they are rough and not to edit one facial feature at a time and call it a day
anyway if you want more insight criticisms, use better colors with the right amount of ambiental shading, hue shift, contrast and understand how metals are shaded.
here's a 5 minute edit of what I'm talking about

notice how the shading/highlight works, and the colors I chose.

said rule exist. as late as this may be, koopa eater has earned a warn for it.

You're hardly in a position to complain, though x:
