Nice un
This might be the first pixelart flood pic... i dunno. Nice colors in this one.
The shading is a bit odd, especially on the bunny, unless thats supposed to be spots on his fur. Otherwise it looks as if the light is coming from below him.
On the sky; Id suggest flipping the gradient (and spacing it a bit more) since the sun is high; the sky would be lighter at the top. (at night, when the sun is below the horizon; the sky is darker at the top)
Thanks for the review, you're right about the shadows in fact I've done haphazardly, however I will try to improve :)
Weird
it does kinda feel like those high class modernism paintings... but I don't really like those guys. Does have a strange appeal to it though. You should definitely spend some quality time on it though. Spend 2-3 hours just choosing color palettes and see what happens. Hopefully something good since color palette is very important to pixel art.
ok, I understand, thanks for the review!
pxxxl
Don't blame your mouse >:( There are a few people who prefer using mice to tablets for pixel art anyway, since you don't need to worry about brush strokes and gradual shading, and more about the bold colours and refining the shape of the characters.
The bunny's good, but the heart and rabbit poo on the ground look like they're slapped in to fill up space, but don't add to the pic.
I'll also recommend Derek Yu's tutorial, which contains lots of decent pointers about pixel art.
thanks for the review!, ground the brown stuff you see is not the rabbit's poo, really should be acorns or nuts but as I feared people would have thought that was crap, however I'm glad you gave a vote of 6 and thanks for giving me the link on the pixel-art tutorial, very useful.
oh what beautiful things I'll wear
Let's see here, you've gotten quite some critique already. I think the main problem here is the lack of a basic idea. In itself, the picture is quite boring: a simple white rabbit next to a clichéd heart-shape in a boring point of view. Even the colours feel bland. Using pixel-art is not an excuse to draw things from the side, nor is drawing with a mouse.
There also seem to be issues with the bunny itself, weird front legs, shading, the weird second ear that doesn't seem to fit it's profile stance.
Before you draw your picture, may I suggest you draw an actual picture first, even if it isn't any good? Just to hand YOURSELF a base of what you are planning. "Is this an interesting image?"
you're right about the flaws of this picture, but it's the most I could do, I definitely wanted to participate in this event (because I love the rabbits) and I was able to come out this piece of art even if not the best, I will try to improve.
At least you tried.
However, 'using my mouse' is not an legit excuse. There is alot of things 'wrong' here. The front legs look like they have been sawn together. The leg further away should be smaller then the one closer to the screen. If they are the exact same size they look like they are next to each other. The same thing goes for the backlegs. If it wasn't for that shading, the leg closer to the screen would look like it was behind the further away leg.
There are alot of other things to go into deep with. But still, you tried. And that makes you better then anyone that hasn't. There are good things about this as well! I have seen muuuch worse! I say, listen to the advice the others gave given you and keep on drawing. Good try! Hope to see you again! :)
as I told the others I'm not a good artist, you're right, in fact in this design there are many flaws but it took me all my will to create it, I hope to improve.
