① I N T R O D U C T I O N ①
So I've been pixeling off and on for probably the last 10 years. I toyed around with the idea of starting pixel art after seeing the forum: Eden Enchanted. I was on the site for a couple years and that's where I grew the most as a pixel artist. Since the forum closed, I haven't really found a home on any other pixel forums. I still enjoy making pixel art, and I hope you all enjoy seeing my creations ^_^

If you would like to see my past work (before mid-2014), I have a majority of it saved here. Since I only have one post, I'd rather keep it as cluttered free as possible. Also, I hate spoiler tags, so I avoid them at all costs ^.^

Whoa I love these ClariusFlorina: - I would totally wear it :) Do you only have 4 shades in the orange? I would challenge trying to add another shade maybe in the highlights. The orange just looks flat in comparison to the brown part which is so lovely!

Welcome to the pixel forums! :D We are a tiny hidden community in here :P

You're right, I think I will try to redo those sleeves. I was so focused on the vest part, after I had finished them, I kind of stopped looking anywhere else I think xD

**EDIT**




So this is it with the sleeves a bit more shaded!

Yeah, I used the palettes for Leo and Beach. I edited them a little bit though.

I love the design~ <33

Though I think you may need deeper outlines for both the shirt and vest.
I love the maple emblem... but with a tweak of my perspective, it has the possibility of looking like it was torn. XD I would suggest other colour for Maple. Or some detail vein? or... some highlight to make it more reflective(so it is different than the orange shirt fabric)? That is not important though.

Thanks Seridano & Xuvrette! Also, thanks Maria! (since I forgot to say thankyou earlier -_-")

Sometimes I do dark outlines, sometimes I don't. I originally had them both outlined darker, but I just wasn't feeling it for this set of clothing.

The maple leaf... Hehehe. I made a couple leaves before I finally decided on that one actually! I don't know what it is but small details like the veins of that leaf are the bane of my existence! Though I do have an idea on how to make it shinier. In fact, I was planning on using another color, but I took that out of the picture when i picked orange for the sleeves! I might just tweek the colors a little bit for the sleeves and/or maple leaf.

Nice work so far, Clarius! Your pixels seem to be coming along with good progress. If I were you I'd be sure to look up references of shirt sleeve folds.

Thanks Ikuto & Hummy :3

Demoscout: Yeah, that's what I'll have to do before I remake those sleeves. They are a bit silly looking atm.

Thanks Poppet :)

So I redid the sleeves, the newest image is in my first post. I might retry the sleeves on the guy one more time, but I'll see if that happens before the end of the month.

Maria-Minamino:

I didn't see any submissions for the contest yet, is the way I have it pictured a good way to showcase the items? Or should my submission ONLY be the items?

p o p p e t ♥: So I ended up changing the sleeves AGAIN after you posted, if you want to see the NEWEST ones xD

But thank you. I think I've spent WAY too much time on this shirt. BAM. Not sure if I'm gonna change the guys sleeves EVER AGAIN today xD

That puffy sleeves resembles pumpkin! Awesome.
I like matchy match, so it would be more awesome if the guy's sleeves is pumpkin too.
But I am also a minimalist lover, I like that little fold and metallic button guys sleeves have... I am kinda split.

I notice you shaded the maple... if it is metalic, I think it will set it apart.

I LOVE the new sleeves! So pumpkiny!!!

And I actually love the little button on the girls sleeves but I'm not sure it's necessary for the guy sleeves. I agree with Xuvvie on that one. For the girl shirt, it looks like it's coming down and holding it together which is causing the pumpkin poof. But for the guys sleeve, since it doesn't do that, it just seems random. Maybe try removing the button from the guy shirt altogether?

If I was a newbie, and was a guy, I don't know if I'd want to wear a poofy sleeved shirt. That's just my opinion though! I considered my target audience, rather than going with perfectly matching stuff.

Originally I thought the maple leaf would be fine as the same color of the sleeves, but now that I colored it gold, it still matches the Autumn color theme, and looks really nice ^_^

I don't like the way it looks without the button, the sleeve corner looks blocky and boring, hense why I added it. Though sometimes guys shirts do have buttons holding up their rolled up sleeves >_>

The gold one MAPLE!!! That is what I was hinting from the very very very beginning. XD The whole style is elegant, prestigious! Of course you need shiny metal badges! XD

I am fine with the button on the puff sleeve.
Though, have you tried adding lines on the guy's sleeve. No need make it puffy, just straight vertical lines...

That's fine then! Just wondering about that :) But it IS your design and you have to ultimately love it and stand by it :)

Although I love the gold leaf

Haha. Well when I think metallic, I think shiny. To tell you the truth it really didn't connect in my head till the very end xD (kind of hard headed)

Now by vertical lines, do you mean stripes? Or vertical folds?

FOr someone like you who came out with that design, I actually thought you and I 'should' be connected with some kind of wavelength. So I didn't say it out straightforwardly 'metal maple badge'... I am thinking to let you thought of it.

not stripes, more like creases...
It is hard to find some reference... this is long sleeve one.

Not sure how well it is can be pulled out in short sleeve.
There crease/fold/pleat is strong. What I am suggesting is that the lines fade out at the centre.
