This is my first pixel image ever, please give me some constructive critisim.

Edit: No, I didnt use a gradient tool, I did it in paint. Its ment to look like the light is hitting the hill =P

for a first, its not that bad. I've been trying for a few years, even before I ofund BYOND, and I still suck. Are you that good at creating character iocns for a game?

Your circles need some work, such as the sun. The top and bottom have a weird lump that goes up, but other than that, it looks pretty good. I like the colors.

OK.
Oh, and just for future reference, I'm pretty sure this would fit under the "Creations" category.

Not quite.

Creations for BYOND; this isn't a BYOND creation.

Off-topic, as in, un-BYOND related.

So this thread stays, sorry. (well, unless a mod moves it. *Scowls at Crispy*)

Nope, it has nothing to do with byond. so its off topic.

Heh! Good start! Other than the animation-esque outlines, it looks kind of like my first pixel art images.

If you're going to do animation-esque stuff, learn how to anti-alias by hand. It will make all your outlines and bumpy suns look much better.

OK, i was just stating. I barely ever look at the Creations sections so I figured it meant anything you created. In fact, when I first came to BYOND I was expecting someone to have their last Book Report on ther. Lol. I'm such a noob.

Don't worry.

Plus, I'd consider you nearly Mid-Newbie.

Ok, does that mean I'm midway towards being as good as a noob, or midway towards leaving noobhood?

You've got ages to go before Midbie, I'm still pretty much a newbie (and an irritating on at that).

But yeah.

OK, just making sure it wasn't the insul of all insults. people consider me irritating too. It may be a noob thing, or not.
