For a archive of older stuff, go here. Those completed are labeled as so.
Thanks for looking! Feel free to chat.

Those dresses are really cuute~ I love both styles they were pixeled in. <3

Thanks! I might go back and touch them up. But for now I will leave them there haha.




I kind of fixed the pants a little. Decided to not let them droop on one side and let it be even.
Tried to make the boxers show because well, I feel like chain pants would be heavy..haha.
I wonder if I should take away the cuffs and just make them regular seamed pants? Hm.


Here are simple tube tops! Dunno what else to do with them. Perhaps add a design or maybe, ruffles? O:

OH! I was going to bed but saw your thread and remembered!

For your giraffe shirt...

You can get rid of the boldness of the outline but not making it all the darkest color. I really like to use 6 shades when I pixel and use the two darkest for the outline - use the second to darkest for the avvies right (where it's closer to the light source) and the darkest on the avvies left. and I also use a LITTLE bit of shade four (the...third darkest) on the avvie's right JUST where the light would be hitting it most:

I went ahead and just...pixelled it so you knew what I mean...

I also tweaked the shading near the lines as well - some of the darker shading near the lines also helped cause it to look really bold I think...


This shirt is SO cute I really want to buy one!

PS - simple tube tops would work really well in the newbie shop since it's supposed to be more basic pieces anyway :D

Thanks for the tip+edit Maria! ;A; It really helps a lot. -hugs- Hehe. Here is what I have so far? <3
What do you think...I also replaced the colors with Sage and Toffee.


And I branched from the tube top to make a Yumeh tank top. XD I wonder if I can put NPCs on them..


Hm... Mr. Mayor? XDDD


Edit: Oooh I need to fix the shading at the bottom of this shirt. XD;;Random line.

I was going to suggest you use Sage but I didn't want to change too much of your design - it's just such a pretty palette and would go well with my sage shorts :D

I loooooove the tiny npcs! I wish there was a way to make them one or two pixels bigger...but it wouldn't fit would it?

I'm making a Yan shirt :D XD It's a WIP XD

XD No no give me suggestions! I thought it would just be better to use a color Mene actual has haha.

Hmm I could try making Mayor bigger but he would seem fat. XD I guess I can make him longer too.
I think it would fit. O: I personally like them tiny like this (my bias towards tiny things XD) but I feel like everyone would want them to be bigger too!

You could do small versions and maybe big versions too? Like the giraffe..have their heads poking up from the bottom? XDD

I've never seen the sage before the shorts were released but it's SOOO pretty O.O I hope we get more items with that color :D

XDDD omg those would be hilarious shirts hahaha
peeping NPCs.. :ninja:

yeah me too! it's been really nature-y and mystical lately for Mene items +_+
like the fairy stuff and what not <3

I loooove nature and mystical items!!! MOst of my avvies have some kind of adventure avvie :D

I think a peeping NPC shirt set would be FANTASTIC!!!

...I am all go for cute cute npc embossed on items!!
get it on hair piece, shirt, trouser, shoe, socks!!

I like the shirt, except for the collar :ninja:
Shading is to put a shadow - and a collar without a hem like that doesn't really cast a shadow. Don't be afraid to go even LIGHTER on your outline than the second darkest shade - I would go all the way up to the 4th shade there.

ohh ohh i like the sailor dress its just SOOO CUTE..

Yeah! I will work on some more NPC items later. ^^ Haha.
Socks? I wonder how that'd be...Maybe NPC themed clothes? XD Like palettes or something.
Hahahahaha Team Mayor. -would be on that team-


@Rainbow
I kinda get what you're saying. O: Do you mean like this??

Hmm not sure what direction to go on how to shade the sleeves though. >< -stares at Mene's items for help- haha

@Star2000shadow
Thanks!! ><


If you guys have anything you'd like me to try and pixel, I will try to do something similar...

---------- Post added 06-18-2012 at 06:37 PM ----------

I started to work on a clique tutu thing...skirt idk as well.
I haven't finished shading, but the concept is there.
Should I make the design more complicateddd or should I leave it simple like this? Hmm.



I was thinking about adding some kind of design..but I'm not sure yet.
Edit: Actually, looking at it now, it kinda seems plastic-y. Perhaps I should change the highlights?

givemethegrayjacketthingymagigger! 8)
It reminds me of Squall from FF ~

ooo! DO A PANDA! PANDA! PANDA!

i love the yumeh top.
must have powder blue and teal ones, too.

hahaha what is your color obsession? I know you like the sapphire, right?

hmm... more like this.
I prefer different colors on different theme or setting.
Not necessary ALL blue. XD

Like coat, black, white grey or brown.
But for dress, I prefer yellow or blue.
Fairy theme, maybe rainbow.
angel, skyblue or soft yellow...

Appropriate color for the theme that is always associated with it. rather hmm... conventional.

That makes perfect sense :D

so... the point is... why no one care about me?
XD LOL!

Aw we care about you - next time I make an item be like "try using this color?" XD
