Are these all the entries I need to post? am I missing any... ?

Oh you should! I'm loving the lavender, and that skirt looks like it would be so nice and floofey!

New pants. x.x

I for two love blinding green! Raver colors would be a fantastic addition to our colors!

Here's my latest attempt. >.<; I wanted to do a funky one like in the "Sexy and I know it" video.

O.O ...
maybe I just need to see the video XD

Especially a recoloring guide. ;D

At first I was thinking this thread was really more of an audition ... or volunteering basically to be a pixel artist for Mene and help Wishy out, not really a place to learn how to pixel....if that makes sense...
I'm not against it but I wanted to know if I could somehow add just one more post in there for it?
I just didn't reserve enough for it ...
I could probably make it work with spoiler bars if not, but it wouldn't be as easy to navigate....

Seito has worked her magic 8D <3 you now have an extra post on the front page. ;3

HURRAH!
Thank you soo much!

No problem. :3

Much appreciated!
My construction is underway!

Ooooh pretties! If you're not able to or uninterested, maybe someone else could try their hand at the shading part. Unless you're opposed to the idea. :yes:

Hooray~ :D

There's not many now, but if it's getting long, you could always separate things by the item.
Like full outfits, tops, bottoms, shoes, accessories, and misc. :lol:

Hur, hur! That was trick ointment, Iku! 8D You're now addicted to heroin!

Mmm... false.

:lol:

Haha, thanks. And anyone can do whatever they want with these images--although I'm not really sure they'll want to... lol, the base lines are so terrible.

It's really fun to do these though. From now on, I'm going to make a sketch of any suggestions that I make so that I can get my ideas across better.

Do you mind if I color-in your pixels? :o

@Siri: Haha, well it is better than starting from scratch. At least, I would think it is. xD

:lol: -cleans shoes-

Nope, go for it. :)

I also just realized that the 'sketch' I posted was before I cleaned up the pixels a bit. So the lines are even worse there than on the other two colored images. Just an FYI if you decide to play around with it.

:) WEEE! *Twirls around* <3 I'm so mad at myself for falling asleep, now I'm going to be pixeling all night! D:

Best time! :eager:

Best time to be pixeling 8D

I saw some great designs! <33

Oh anyone one can decided how things look inside there spoiler bar >.< Just PM me the coding and I'll pop it in there!

Oh no, I meant, if you get lots and lots of entries from lots of different users, organizing the pixeling by item might be easier. XD
If you had like, 20-something people. :lol:

Yes but this thread is about one specific person becoming a pixel artist. There are a lot of users that have expressed not wanting a variety of random styles, and a great concern for quality. (not saying anyone's stuff is bad) I was just under the impression that mene wanted to hire or maybe hopefully one would volunteer to be a secondary artist. Do you think it would be more likely to hold a contest for one or two items and then users can pick the ones that get put in to use?

Hate to be a downer, but shading is what makes pixeling, pixeling~

It's the hardest part~

Hmm. It seems in my excitement at this, I forgot the main purpose. :lol:
Hope more pixelists come~ Good luck! o /

lol it's okay Ikuto your excited-ness makes keeps this page active XD
I'm trying to make it a little more clear on the front page, maybe you guys should look over the front page while the construction is in process? Let me know what you guys want me me to have up there. I don't really know anything about pixeling myself so I want your guy's input!

@Siri I had a go at shading one of your pixels :) I hope it hasn't turned out as an insult to your work -sweatdrop-



I know the shading isn't wonderful but it could have turned out a lot worse lol

Shading's not bad, actually!
just need a little more contrast horizontally~ and it'll be really good

My input would be, It would be nicer with dithering blending.
