New software, New day.

Today, I found a nice, shiny piece of freesoft.

GraphicsGale, an epic Pixel-art and sprite maker....Free too.

 

Just messing around on a first shot, I made something better than most of my former hard work!

 

Screw you Paint XP, I have Gale now :)

 

As usual, any criticism is welcomed, feel free to take my art, flatten it, roll it up, throw it aside, launch it into orbit, drown it in lava/acid/gravy/Etc.

 

Thanks in advance for any....Stuff.

I'll get a bigger pic up another time, I'm just working with a small canvas/PC.

Galebrowser isn't a pixel art program xD

I think you are referring to GraphicsGale

 

Did you really AA all of those lines?

Ahem, yeah, GaleBrowser is what my PC calls the actual program...I'll change that...

 

AA? I feel I know what that means...I'm tired though, enlighten me.

 

Thanks!

Scratch what I may have said,

AA'ed automatically after using Paint for so long....

It looks kinda cool though.

Doing AA automatically and not by hand in Pixel art is a big no-no. It's uncontrolled, and generally (such in this case) is detrimental to the quality of the picture.

 

Quick notes, the color choice is dull, the anatomy is off -- most importantly, there's no shading to show 3D forms, so it looks flat an unpolished. The thick black lines don't help, either.

 

As for what I suggest as a better alternative to GraphicsGale: Grafx2. Wonderful set of tools, full version for free (even open sourced).

Uh, I did kinda AA by hand, that's what I meant about using Paint for too long...

 

Anyway, I agree with pretty much everything there - This was really just a test to see how Gale worked.

I'll check out 'Grafx2' when I'm next online.

I'll get better a Pixel stuff eventually, this is a huge step up from former diabolic fails...

 

Thanks for the advice an' crit.
