spriting is hard (custom stuff)

[Ashura]

also

another problem i have with your stuff


you never shade to show depth, you do literally the exact same thing that everyone new to art(i know you're not new but you've made this mistake for years) makes: you're shading for literally no other reason than to shade
stop that

also because you seem to have ignored me

Stop doing cutesy things. Seriously. Stop it. You're holding yourself back so much by confining yourself to the "tiny bodies, big heads, animu uguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~" style you do with literally everything. You've shown you're more than capable of doing other (infinitely better) styles, creatures, people, etc(the orange thing in this thread for instance). Yet you continually do this cutesy garbage. And don't even try to kid yourself, it is garbage. You have a solid grasp on art, but it's like you've dug yourself a pidgeonhole and strapped yourself in to make sure you never have to come out.

i'm not saying you can't do little loli girls
i'm not saying you have to stop being weird like that
i'm saying to stop doing it in such a blatantly obvious attempt to be lazy
your "anime" art is always the most boring thing because its literally the exact same person with different hair and clothes
all the time
every time

derp !!
You got me. Now I have to change my anime styled loli heads from now on. thanks a lot

Might I also point out that when you're having trouble AAing small things and getting the curves to look right, doing something six times larger isn't going to fix that. The line art on your newest WIP still contains the same problems that the smaller pixel art shares. The curves and bumps in the line art along with inconsistent AAing make certain areas lose the smooth curvature that you're aiming for.

It might help to look over this thread in order to fix some of the line art issues. Proper AAing can fix them, but that only comes with practice.

You're doing good, but there a good number of things that could be fixed and that could make this a ton better.

Here's a few areas that I quickly edited to show what I mean. You need to be precise with your pixel clusters and your AAing. Try your hardest to avoid banding. Practice, practice, practice! Smile

Ooh, I see! Thanks for the link. I had no idea what banding was, until now. I knew something was off in the lines, but I couldn't pinpoint what was wrong. I'mma go fix that.
