What programe you are using?

Maybe don't scrap the dress, but someone can give you tips on how to move it in the right direction.

Xuv. I'm using GIMP it's an opensource photoshop type program.
Mew: I'll probably just redo it. The only thin I like about it was the shoulder bow. It's an easy sillohette to recreate. And with a reference next time will go much better.

GIMP. I believe there is a kind of magic wand selection tool?
Tick off continguos, anti alias.
Tolerance = 1.

The pixel is right in the middle of the boots near the knee part.

Xuv this is what I'm looking at on my screen with background @400%

the only pixels I'm seeing in that area are one that is part of the base's leg. And a highlight on the boot. nothing between them. :?

Blue shirt because I love blue and lime green.

It is a close to black dark grey pixel.
why do you have black background?

The background is black because I got tired of the hot pink background XD I change the background color periodically.
I found it!! It was a semi-transparent pixel. I learned my lesson to not use the paintbrush tool. XD

It is fun, like stray pixel hunting! XD
yep, semi transparent is the right word. That is one devil, seemed to be like 10% opacity.

There we go! Should be no strays left!


One more stripe on the shirt, and more shading. Eh it doesn't look right now. :<

Yep, no more strays.

About your tshirt.
There are 2 things I would like to point out.
1. the stripe are too straight, it should follow body curve. Giving it a varying width would be more natural.
2. Working with pattern, you can refer to kawaiihannah's website. since you are using Gimp, you can do layers.

I didn't know about that site!! Thank you so much Xuv! It has so many useful tutorials on it!

Hannahnah's previous site design has this awesome waterfall background... it is so detail and sparkly, I am regretting now that I didn't save it. D:
It is the green scene you can see at the background in the box.

I do have the stripes on their own layer. But here's just the shirt.

DId you manage to find the pattern tutorial on hannahnah's website?
Copy the shirt, recolour it, then mask the are that you don't need.

Oooh that's awesome. Are we allowed to use that for our own work? (I haven't been doing anything here but might start soon)

That nifty color thing is all Xuvrette's hard work. I believe she posted it so we could work better with Mene's existing color pallets. I gave her credit in my initial post, and I have seen other users post it as well.

I'm glad you liked the design and had such a positive dream! The dress is actually based off a dress I wore to a winter formal at university. I hope to get a good reference picture once I find my dress so I can re-work the pixels.

The xuvrette is right here... XD

That really reminds me that I still have some 'tutorial' to do.

I know you are Xuv!! :3 you are always so helpful

I know. There is this other thread by Kirin, right in this subforum. XD
I felt I was like... not detected as xuvy or whatever variation Mariaria called me.

I found myself confused and neglected, then I end up laughing. XD

Hey Xuv. What do you think about the idea of keeping with the cowboy theme? Like if I made chaps and a hat?

...<.< >.>
lol. I just finished my cowboy theme. You didn't drop by my thread~! :<

I think you would make better and more detail cowboy style than I do though.
with the swirly detail. Go on.

!! I need to go check!! I'm sorry I really should look at other people's projects before starting on my own so there's little overlap. XD

Nah, I did my research on cowboy theme and found many different elements that I didn't end up using.
Like the hat, could be different, the shirt, the vest, the pants, different variety.
I think you can complete a set without any resemblance to mine.

I was thinking almost a more modern cowboy look. Yours is a very classic cowboy vs indian look.
And I think people could have a lot of fun with chaps. XD

chaps? what is chaps?

Oh, that is Indian look? I don't know. I just google images. XD lazy me.
Then I pick up element, mix and match.

I so so like to see the swirly designs around other pieces though!
How does a modern cow boy look like?
