I like the design,...
but your shading... needs more blending. If I am not mistaken, your cloth would be normal cotton type, the lightest shade shouldn't be so bright. Darken it, then it would look better.

I know, It was late when I did the shading. So I know about the bright part needs darkening.
I just needed some tips on the blending part. :lol: I couldn't get a nice blue palette going on. >.<
Welp, that was try number 223.. so onto try number 12332... Lol.
Thanks though, xu. :3

What numbers are those?

You can try pulling colour out from Mene's pixels.

Yeah I tried doing that last night, but probably wasn't the best time to start. Haha.

( Just posting this so I remember later. )
When I replace or find my tablet pen, I would like to try my hand at Mene's style of avatar and pixel some items~

Opinion please, Ma Chérie! =3

Welcome back! That's lovely! What useful crits can I give, from my not-working brain :sweat:

It looks like a thick woolen robe, is that the intention? I personally would try something (no idea what xD) different for the cuffs. As the current plain deep seam seems very, well, plain xD. The side of the wrap that goes underneath looks like it's in peril of flashing bits you'd rather keep covered up as it goes up the centre of the left leg, it needs to go diagonally across, underneath the top fold. At an angle so it looklike it's meeting up with the top part of the underneath bit.

I don't have the technical know-how to even know what it is that makes the shadinglook different to ours, but it doesn't look very different. I'd wear this in RL, as long as there was good coverage at the front :ninja:

What are your guys' opinions?

That's a nice shape :yes: I'd say ignore the shading for now, and work on the shape. I think the first thing for you to work on could be the part where it goes over the shoulder, as at the moment it doesn't actually go over the shoulder. That bit and the draped fabric, as right now it looks a bit stiff, and potentially could flash the avatar's bra out of the top of it.

This is what I can spend hours doing. Move a pixel/zoom out to check/zoom in and move/change another one/zoom out to check etc. etc. :lol:

The only thing I like about Vista is that you can mouse over the mini version on photoshop on the task bar and see a smaller version of what you're doing :lol:

So I finally decided to try some more pixeling. I know that I need work with the shading. xD I tried to use the top section of the Starry skirts to get the top part of this skirt. And I wants the ruffles to be like the organza items we have on here. :oops: But other than change the opacity of the layer I did the ruffles on, I wouldn't know how to do so.

I HAVE A SUBMISSION!
Preferred name:Desi

Would you like to be an artist for mene? Why?
I would like to be a pixel artist on menewsha. It has always been a dream of mine to be a pixel artist on an avatar site. It is actually the reason I got into Pixel art. I have been a pixel artist for six years now. I started when my friend from Roliana her birthday was coming up(as well as she was going in for surgery) So then I was determined to be a good pixel artist and ever since then I have been doing pixel art. It has been on and off though since when I first started off I was struggling through home schooling along with other kinds of drama. But since things Have settled down I have been improving on my art greatly. I do know I have lots to learn and I may not be as good as wishie is but the more practice I get the better I will get at my art.

IF you were chosen to be an artist what would you want for compensation?
2. Site Currency ~ i.e. Mennies
3. Gold
4. Item or items (depending on value
5. The love and gratitude of Menewshans everywhere

For More of my art, You can find me at LalaHeaven @ DeviantArt


*Artists comments
If I am chosen as an artists I would be so grateful and I would work very hard to work for menewsha. I do not need to be payed in real money. Just having the job in general would be enough for me. :heart:

Yay a submission! Front page has been updated!


Also I'm so happy so many purple and fantasy items! XD you guys have good taste >.<

wow I am the only one who did the submission?o.O i thought other people would've done so. XD

The others didn't fill in the form. XD LOL.

yeah. I thought a bunch of people would've XD

Birdiedie hasn't has the form up when it was first open, I guess.
so...

Liztress: I'd say the starry skirt was not thebest choice of item to be honest :ninja: As I found when I recoloured it, and discovered it only has 4 shades to the palette or whatever it is :lol:

Any suggestions on which would be a good item to help reference the shading? I did think of trying to add a fifth color to it but wasn't sure how it would turn out.

Wait, we can apply with non-Mene things?

@Liztress
Mainly, look for an item similar in texture and style as the item you are trying to pixel~
For some basics, what about this:

or some of the bathing set stuff?

I finally finish the matching XO male version~


I know... I have bad colour sense...

Well, the skirt part that isn't ruffly is supposed to be like skintight. But you know, that skirt would probably help with the ruffle part.

Thanks for the help. :)

I should practice some of my pixel art on menewsha's bases after I finish this current doll that is. :lol:

Oooo I like that xuxux

I think it's good color sense. :) I really like it. I'd be willing to switch genders just to wear that. xD

so...

lol no it's true I think I had some suggestions on what to include but I have proper forms on the front page now, but I figure if people want to do a proper submission they can, but I won't take down what's already put up.

you can but there are a lot of users that were concerned about having to much difference between artists so it might be to your benefit to show you can replicate Mene's style well.

THanks, Seitoto, Lizliz~ *hugs*

Ah, understandable.
I don't think I have anything in Mene's style yet, but when my new pen gets here I will definitely be putting in an application. ^ ^
