Topic: I Call Him Kropp -Original-

Edited by PyroFrosty - 03 April 2015 at 6:19am So I posted this on the gallery but I'm not sure if it'll make it so here it is on here! :c Anyway this is based off a streamer I enjoy watching named Kripp and I posted it on his reddit a few months ago and people seem to enjoy it so I'm inspired to make a huge project with this, I already have an amazing concept! The reason I'm posting it on here is because I'm curious to what pixel artists think not knowing who Kripp is at all and I always enjoy the feedback! I'll be posting WIPs of the huge project as replies to this topic -I THINK- so please feel free to check back here every once in awhile to leave some feedback!The streamer: twitch.tv/nl_kripp

While its very rough, dirty and uncontrolled overall this was not the main reason it was sent back for revision...tho its a problem. I do not mean style I mean pixel control.

The main issue here is the CGd AA. Should the AA have been manual then its a fail :/

The first 3 topics in the 'sticky reads' link in my sig should answer a lot of questions for you. Review those threads :)

CGd AA = computer generated Anti Alias

Rough and dirty = 'drawn' instead of pixelled

What any pixelart looks like or how colorful or anything that falls in the personal creative view is irrelevant here and never judged in any way (cept porn and offensive stuff).

Here all that really matters is pixel placement on the pixel level that is manually created. While not entirely true, your piece as it is now is more Oekaki...sorta.

To add to Jalonso's points, here is a 500%-scale of your image to show specifically what is being discussed here. Along the black outline are various greys, which is called anti-aliasing (AA). The AAing throughout your picture seems to be automatically placed by a brush preset in your program of choice that does not allow for a clear pixel. You should definitely give The Pixel Art Tutorial a look over to better correct the image for gallery acceptance: http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299&PID=139320#139320



You will only improve as a pixel artist, and an overall artist for that matter, if you apply the advice and critique to your work. Anything new is difficult, and while criticism may hurt, it is only provided to help you correct errors and develop a better eye in art. Oekaki is not an insult, but it is not pixel art. All your Kropp piece needs is a little clean up by zooming in and fixing the AA.

Oekaki is a legitimate art term and not ridiculous at all...weird name , yes >.<



Pixeljoint and the forum is just the place to learn from others about pixelart and what defines a piece as such. This is especially true for the 'new' but the experienced learn all the time too.



Of course no one expects things like the skin and shirt to be 'manually' colored. Things like the bucket/fill tool are totally cool (you retain control).



If you want to explore if pixelart is for you you have to be open to its techniques and established process. This has nothing to do with artistic expression, artistic freedom or any such thing. If this were an oil painting gallery and forum then you have to keep it in oil paints and any discussion on acrylics, water colors, etc. would be irrelevant.
