Elephat - Tea - 12-29-2009 Hi everyone! im new here, so here is my first anywhere near acceptable sprite. Im not ver good at anti-aliasing so could anyone give me tips? the bigger one is 4x bigger if you care. Im open to criticism. RE: Elephat - Cobalt Blue - 12-29-2009 that should cover all about it. RE: Elephat - Tea - 12-29-2009 Thanks for that, it worked a treat! RE: Elephat - Saltonara - 12-29-2009 It still looks a bit pillowed imo. Also I think you should use a bit more contrast RE: Elephat - Cobalt Blue - 12-29-2009 dont OVERDO IT means not every single line needs tobe AA'ed. the purpose of Anti Aliasing is to make things smooth, but you're making it blurry. dont AA on the ourside. RE: Elephat - Tea - 12-30-2009 ok, so now there aint anti aliasing on the outside, added a bit more contrast, and experimented with coulors a bit. Which is better? RE: Elephat - Cobalt Blue - 12-30-2009 should be careful with the shading of that ear, otherwise it looks like a cavity. RE: Elephat - Tea - 12-30-2009 ok, should i shade around it? or just change the ear a bit RE: Elephat - Baegal - 12-30-2009 I still think you need to use less colors, like those around the darker shades isn't that helpful. Try using only one color for that part. RE: Elephat - Cobalt Blue - 12-30-2009 the whole concept is small and smooth already, i don't think you really need so much antialiasing to make it more soft to the eye, but rather some proper shading would do the trick just to keep that simplicity. RE: Elephat - Tea - 12-30-2009 ok, i tweaked it a bit, and added bits from metarus one, and i like the result. :) RE: Elephat - Ego - 12-30-2009 A bit too much contrast. Also, try shading behind the ear a bit so it gives the ear some depth. RE: Elephat - Tea - 12-30-2009 ook will be done by tommorow RE: Elephat - Cobalt Blue - 12-30-2009 never AA 45° lines. RE: Elephat - Tea - 12-31-2009 dont aa 45 lines ook. which is best?
