Hey everyone, I have been doing pixel art for a while, I started out in MS Paint and it was sketchy at most but I found this community which has a really good feel to it and of course Paint.NET. I have been following some of the tutorials etc and it has opened up the whole world of art to me, it's a mountain and a half times better than paint :wink:
I drew all these with the bucket tool, line tool and the pencil tool, the ones in space took me about 6-8 hours each, it seems a bit extreme but I had to make sure it was perfect and I still don't think they are.

I put in some of my pixel art from when I started out for comparison. In order from oldest to most recent:

Cheap Hotel
Hidden Content:
This was inspired by one of the cheap hotels I have stayed in, it wasn't pretty, this picture compliments the bad decor and it's 'Run Down' look.
Skyscraper
Hidden Content:
I'm not really sure but there is something missing on this piece, maybe someone could offer some suggestions? Looks a bit bland. It maybe even have too much on the roof, the fire exit looks a bit out of proportion...
-----------------------Animations
Animated Pirate
Hidden Content:
This little thing took me an hour to create, I had the pirate already done, I just removed his sword and put a pistol in then animated the different positions of his arm. Overall I am quite happy with it.
-----------------------Random Images
L4D Spray
Hidden Content:
It doesn't look so nice on white but it looks good when it's sprayed on a wall in L4D with alpha and all that.
I think it suits me
L4D based Avatar
Hidden Content:
Made this for a friend, it's loosely based on the Bioshock icons for plasmids
L4D based Avatar (cartoon)
Hidden Content:
I randomly thought that the avatar needed a cartoony touch put on it, so here it is!

For the space backgrounds I used this tutorial, it's very effective in my opinion: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1630
