Stuff I recommend

The deviantART tends to be a bit notorious for not fully understanding what pixel art is. I've written this tutorial to help explain what it usually means:





Also, some of the best pixel art tutorials I've found so far:

Out of 736 Jam entries, my game project One Bullet was ranked:

#13 Innovation 4.08
#31 Graphics 4.34
#43 Audio 3.85
#49 Overall 3.78
#88 Theme 3.82
#97 Fun 3.42
#182 Mood 3.24
#248 Humor 2.25
#1284 Coolness 48% (This one is out of 2346)
^Lol the coolness category was probably about how much attention the game got.

It was interesting to see what got placed where with the graphical department. I took a quick look at some of the entries that scored better than I did, and I would say that while it makes me wonder if people were using 50-year-old TV screens for their computer monitors, it does give me a better idea of how to make better stuff in the future.

I joined dA with a mentality that I should change my habits to be more productive when I have free time, and that was the best decision I've ever made in a long time.

Frequently made comments and questions:



1. What program do you use?
-Graphicsgale.
-(Trying to ease back to GIMP for whatever reason people keep telling me though, but I'll stick with Graphicsgale for animations.)

2. Why ponies?
-No particular reason. It just grew in on me.

3. This is the best pony pixelling / you are really great at what you do!
-Are my works great? Thanks, but sometimes, I wonder if I can have greater.

4. [Something about hair animation]
-Too much trouble for me to want to go through. That took so many days worth of effort. :x

5. Why your username?
-I had a username of MarxMaster, which came from some silly Maplestory forum joke. I wanted something similar to that but related to the art style I'm sticking with, so I tried PixMaster. That was taken, so I end up PixMeister. I later found it too egotistical after taking a hard lesson about the subject, so I wondered if I can shorten the name to PixM, but since that's taken, I stuck a 3 as it kind of goes with how that would be pronounced.

6. Can you make something for me?
-You'll have to persuade me. I'm most likely not gonna be free work any time soon.

7. I wanna take one of your works and reference/transform it into something else / I wanna take a shot at your style
-For the sake of common courtesy, please do not touch any works that are specifically made for somebody (this includes game sprites) unless I explicitly give you permission to use. They are custom pieces of artwork and commissioners may feel insulted if you transform artwork that was made especially for them.
-Read this: [link]


8. Have you had formal training in art?
-Yes. One drawing class and a photography class both in high school.

9.Can you join this contest?
-Unless you're offering a lot, probably not.

It's for a end-of-year project for school that is ultra important.
If you want me to play you though paypal for an amount that can be negotiable...

Eh, I'll probably not ask for much since the animation I'll do is very likely to come out very well. I just have little examples of stuff that shows me animation skills. After that though, no free stuff for others unless there's something else in it for me xP

I guess it's the usual pathetic bending over for people for portfolio building but luls. Just note me for other details I guess.
