This is my pixel art. Look at it.

I just started making pixel art a few days ago on a hot summer morning while I should have been eating breakfast. My first 'piece' was made by looking at various screenshots from the game Fez and it turned out pretty cool. I consider it my tribute to the team in charge of the game.



Yes, some things may look like they were ripped, (mainly the big pillar), but that was because I made that one look pretty much exactly like the reference I was using. Not copy and pasted, pixel by pixel. Hopefully you guys can let that slide. The flower at the top was a little too gradient, but I never knew that was bad until I asked around.

A little later, I made this:


The blooper is a recolour, everything else is custom.

I then took a step backwards and limited myself to a palate with only a few colours.



Working with such a limited palate can cause problems sometimes, so I learned to dither and ended up making this:


Lastly, I used the palate used in "Super Pope Adventure 64" and combined it with my knowledge of dithering to create my latest work:



Also tried some new shading effects there, you may notice them, you may not.

Somebody asked for just the Mario and Luigi sprites, so I made this.



The text is a font though, but without anti aliasing.

I want some good criticism and some requests prehaps, just to get better.

I also have no relation to Mewthrii whatsoever, if you know who he is. There was this whole thing that went on when I joined Pixeltendo where I was thought to be an alt account of Mewthrii, but I'll gladly show you that I am not.

Of course you aren't, he couldn't pixel for shit

These are actually pretty decent. Some of them could use some work, but they're decent overall.

[arün]

But the question is, how could they use work

Keep in mind, I just started a few days ago, so don't be too harsh. Any styles you suggest I should pick up?

hey, pretty nice pixel art!! and you say ur a beginner?!? wow,im quite impressed! however, i dont pixel art so i dont have much criticism except that you should remember to keep your shading cool.

[arün]

Heh, thanks I guess. I won't say I'm a total beginner, I had a fair bit of knowledge on making pixel art before I started.

I really like the styles on the some, but don't be afraid to use as many colors as you need.

[arün]

Yeah, I've been trying to sprite SSB64 characters in this style and I'm having a lot of trouble with some as small details are hard to make out when you're only using 5-6 colours. I'll post my results when I'm done.

[arün]

Didn't turn out too well, but meh.
