My first unit image

Tomsik · Post by **Tomsik** » February 28th, 2005, 7:34 pm

I did it by i have 2 problems:
1.I dont know what it can be

2.Is something wrong with this image, but what?

1. Some sort of dinosaur?

2. Most of the units in Wesnoth are drawn with a particular perspective, that's more or less facing the player. Your dinosaur is facing the right and isn't drawn with perspective. Jetryl can direct you to a website that has lots of good tutorials on pixel drawing. Have you take any actual drawing lessons?

Why not start with a Google:

How to draw pixel art

search for "pixelation" on google, i'm sure there are many good tutorials to be found. That's how I got started. the pixelation forums (can't remember URL, sorry) are also a good resource.

Pixelation forums?

See http://web1.t43.greatnet.de/index.php

Note that, as of February 28th, Pixelation is currently down.

Perhaps you could start editing existing units (I also started with cut and paste) and youÃ‚Â´ll get a feeling for perspective and proportions. The rest comes with the time, practice and help from other users. Well this is the way I learned it .

Aargh! My eyes! Do I really want advice on art from someone who finds dark blue text on a black background an acceptable color combination?

People who choose to override my default font size choice are also extremely annoying, but that particular idiocy is widespread enough that I don't usually single it out for criticism - especially since my browser readily enlarges the text. (I keep my default at about as small a font as I can comfortably read, so as to get as much information on-screen at a time as I can.) But the colors! Gaah! Even after I made the text much too large, I still couldn't manage to force myself through more than about a paragraph.
