Pixel Art Collection (9/19/09) - Dr D - 03-08-2009

Just thought I'd post this here and maybe get a larger audience and extra feedback, haven't done anything for a weeks now, but yeah, anyway;

Note I'm not particularly fond or proud of any of these (besides the hand and exit button, maybe) and I don't consider them completely done, and probably never will, but I thought I'd post anyway. =P

All were done pixel-by-pixel, with the exception of a few tools, such as brush and fill and lines (as is my belief for creating such art).

And definitely ask if you want to use any of this. Thanks.

Thanks for looking.

Wow dude, that's all really good stuff, gratz bro Big Grin I was trying to pick out which ones were my favorite but I can't even do that xD I have a feeling you could make an epic tile set Tongue

Re: Pixel Art Collection (7/14/09) - Dr D - 03-08-2009

Thanks.

I hope to produce a tile-set in the future, but am not working on one atm. I'd probably benefit more doing some real-life studies first. Especially trees, I have a hard time with them, but am starting to improve.

Say I were to need a tile-set once, out of curiosity, how much would you charge Tongue

Re: Pixel Art Collection (7/14/09) - Dr D - 03-08-2009

I wouldn't charge much as my time is somewhat limited, and I can't guarantee quality in all areas.

Now according to this, the average rates per hour (from beginners to veterans) are roughly between $15/hr to $50/hr.

I would likely charge a small $5/hr. (I can provide rough time estimates of planned commissions before hand.)

Although, if you'd like, pay-per-asset can also be done, and that completely depends on the size of batches you're willing to pay by, and the quality of work expected.

Also, keep in mind that designing and re-editing graphics takes time out from me as well, and time is money. (If you have any design documents or even sketches, it wouldn't be a bad idea to send me them, beforehand.)

This is a good read for both artists and employers. And please, everyone, tip your hat off to the master of beautiful pixel-art, Fool. (Who's work is displayed there.)

Thanks again.

hey dr d remember me lol

Re: Pixel Art Collection (7/14/09) - Dr D - 03-08-2009

Yo.

Re: Pixel Art Collection (7/14/09) - Nean - 03-08-2009

You have quite the talent there. I wouldn't mind comissioning something from you, were I not completely broke. Really nice job, though.

Re: Pixel Art Collection (7/14/09) - Dr D - 03-08-2009

Thank you. Glad to know.

Re: Pixel Art Collection (7/14/09) - Aleano - 06-08-2009

Looking good. Keep up the progress reports, its always nice to see new artists starting off =].

Re: Pixel Art Collection (7/14/09) - Blodyavenger - 09-08-2009

Now that's very VERY nice, I love your art! (and I especially like grass tile). I'm sure you'll find someone to work for sooner or later with that talent Smile

Re: Pixel Art Collection (7/14/09) - Dr D - 10-08-2009

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

I haven't started anything yet, but am debating whether or not to go back and try to finish most of these pieces. At least before I think about starting anything new.

Can't have a portfolio with unfinished works, anyways. Wink

No, GB.

Re: Pixel Art Collection (8/12/09) - Rory - 01-09-2009

Ou, yeah. GB.

Re: Pixel Art Collection (8/12/09) - Kevin49 - 01-09-2009

To my mind Gameboy was the most epic between GB, GBA, SP...
Dude you're pixel art is awsome o_O

Re: Pixel Art Collection (8/12/09) - Dr D - 19-09-2009

Thanks for all the positive feedback once again, and for correcting my mistake.

Just thought I might show you what I've been up to, not much else worth showing than this, I guess. My latest work:

Still very early, of course.. Sketchy/unfinished

For anyone that wants to see what I've been up to and look at some more of my own and others pixel art that I've managed to collect, here's a link to my Pixel Art folder:

I've also done some commission art that I'm quite proud of, but unfortunately can't show.
