Gwena's pixel Dungeon: Where bad pixels go to die and good pixels get created (critiques and advice are welcomed!)
I'm Gwena (you should all know my awesomeness by now, though), I'm 24 and a very creative individual.
Well, as everyone should be aware, I've been working on a new creative outlet for myself: pixeling. I first tried pixeling a year or two ago when I first heard about menewsha not having many pixelists, I went on to pixel a horrible pink dress and forgot all about pixeling after that xD I have since, started pixeling again, which all started with my sudden itch to pixel during the summer 2013 event, so I am now officially pixeling and despite, not trying for a long time....I am not nearly as bad as I was a long time ago....which is weird but meh who cares, right? xD So, below this post, you will find my creations, both good and bad (I should also mention I love to design clothes, so most items will be clothing items, as drawing gives my design skills an outlet to make up for my lack of sewing skills!). Enjoy the wonder....and unspeakable horror that is my creations! |

*waits to cheer Gwena♥ on* [cheer] i'm so happy to see your threadie opening! lots of luck! edit:maybe reserve a few more posts? you will get a lot of help and information to save. |
I love many of the designs!

Fall themed outfits (my current ideas for the pixel contest), need some work still I think:

but that is good for the newbie shoppe, Gwena, sweetie keep up the good work! Maria-Minamino: and @xvurette; any tips for Gwena? |
.... Isn't the yellow too... yellow for pumpkin? x.x
They do look plain... *tilts head* Try find autumn fashion and see what other people add to their fashion? Pockets? zips? linings? folds? I would like to know what is the print design on the pants? |

thank you, rettie♥ |
... I haven't seen such a round spider web before! *google it*
hmm... but most of the picture on google one is kinda pointy. Hummymy~ hmm thank for whaa? oh, and the ping didn't work. XD No need to ping me, I always visit this forum. |
for the helpful input |
ooo... I like to bully newbies~ <33

Yep, those are not round, it is pointy.
I don't even know what is the name for that kinda shape. Kinda like big fat octagon star. Cobweb would look much like cobweb when it curve inward, not outward like a round shape. Nature is organic/irregular, so less systematic could be nicer too. By the way, we do have a spider web hair pin in menewsha, that is one good thing to look at. |
Um....those are totally round O.o
|
It is not as round as letter O.
|
Its not smooth round per se, but round is round. o.o And my pants only the lower left (lower bottom of the left pant leg *the avi's right, our left*) spider web is more smooth round, the one closer to the hip is more octagonal, the lower one is more round because of space constraint but I think it looks good. I have to say though...I'm really liking that top I made xD I still need to rework the pumpkin set, but the fall gradient top keeps growing on me...lol
Eirian (my sister) has a pixel workshop now too, you should spread the love around and give her some tips ^-^ |
You are right, in terms of pixel is small, it is HARD and difficult to put in small tiny details. Space constraint is one of the challenge of pixeling small things. I can see you tried working in that small space. When doing small detail, certain detail could be obscure because it is just toooo small for the avatar scale.
Regarding the round, and why I am so 'detail' about it Sometimes the detail set things apart, it is an identity of the said item. MY first instinct is that it looks to me like a symbol that Menewsha Baji short has. If not, it looks like a radar to me. Spider cobweb mostly curve INward to have that identity. and sure, of course, there will be someone who can recognize that as cobwebs. Then again, if you are satisfied, save me trouble to figure out ways to fix it. As for that top, I like how you divide them into 2 pieces of fabric. Though I think there should be some design element at the joint under the breast. Ribbon? seam? flowers? frills? puffs? |

Well, I could see into adding something like a ribbon, but what about for a male top? (I still need to create a male version of that set ..lol) I would want them both to have similar elements and I won't add ribbon to a man's shirt, just no! lol I like this web here so cute: File:Spiral Orb Webs.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
*blinks blinks* Why are we suddenly in Halloween theme? XD lol. I thought we are in... autumn theme...
oh well, typical me, being a foreigner to not relate Halloween to autumn. *chuckles* I have yet to see a COMPLETE PREFECT octagon, whatevergon, shape in the precise angle. Put aside that argument of shape names. I just wish to point out that, everyone can IMPROVE, there is no limit in perfection. You can be satisfied at any stage you want, it is totally your freedom. I find that it is easier to improve when you 'feel' motivated or the need for it. Some people take it slow, some want it fast. Follow your own pace. In the influence of cartoon and simple clipart, spiderwebs overall shape can be nice perfect whatevergon or round. But the main point is, it curve inward. It is the its identity. It can be a slight curve or a deep curve. And that is one awesome round. Maybe only that angle. XD But notice that the outerring of it is not round, it is pointy. When dealing with pixel size this small, the OUTERshape is more important than the individual detail at the centre. In any possibility, the smallest cobweb you have, it could have the same shape resembling a snowflake like the instead. Don't try to fit in small detail in a small pixel. You see, if your bigger shape already shown it detail/identity as a cobweb, people would think that the smaller shape is the same thing even though it is just the outershape. Just like why I thought it is a symbol because that is the closest related thing I had seen before in the Baji short. Human always thought of similarity of things they had seen. ---------- Post added 09-17-2013 at 10:06 PM ---------- oh and for the shirt. how about seam? big fat seam. *chuckles* Ribbon for males.
