Okay... so clearly, I didn't explain things well enough in my last thread.

So here we go again.

You see this image?



Pixil art. 100x100 canvas, fairly simple, you know, nothing really... SPECIAL.

... yeah, no, this was... hmm, to put it simply, InCrEdIbLy DiFfIcUlT. Getting the circles in the background JUST RIGHT? Making sure the reflection in the ocean was in the right spot, it was constant scribble line--ctrl-z--scribble--ctrl-z--OVER and OVER and OVER again! I thought I would never finish it! And then I messed up the boat, and it's reflection just--hmm.

But that's not the worst of it. It seems even more is expected of me.

Something a bit more like...



...he seems fairly simply done. 500x500 canvas, fairly generic hair, pretty basic shading, I mean, come on, I didn't even add pupils! Easy, right?

HAHAHAHA I wish. I didn't add pupils because I couldn't figure out the placement of them. That nose? Pain. Zoom in on it (if you can). You see those alternating color pixils? That's called dithering. It's a shading tactic. PaIn AnD sUfFeRiNg. His eyes? You can hardly see it, but zoom in again, or look really hard, DITHERING. The area around his left ear is a dithering hot spot. And you know how it's done? Pixil. By. Pixil. (just realized, didn't finish his hair there... dag nabbit)

...anyway...

(more samples of my work: https://www.pixilart.com/thealphadawg)


SO HERE'S THE DEAL.

You see my boy Pit here?



He's made on... I believe a 32x32 pixil canvas. That's 32 bit. It's pretty low-res, but this is the kind of stuff I'm talking about.

Adorable little 8, 16, or 32 bit sprites. Anything bigger, and it'll cost you a bit of moolah (discussed later)

I am open to making little gif animations. Walk cycles, idol animations, there's just one little thing you should know... I'm awful at that stuff. At least for now. I'll practice it. And it'll also cost you a bit of your sylestia financials....

Also, I'm really bad at animals. Anything but animals, and you're fine, but as soon as I need to make, say, a cat, I'm gonna have to consider a financial buffer....


NOW ENOUGH OF THE BORING STUFF.

Time for order forms! Simply copy, paste, then delete the items you don't want!
(prices may fluctuate based on demand and my own skill level changes)

Concerned about financials? Worry not! Let me know in your order form, and we can work something out in a PM so you can pay it off over time.

CANVAS SIZE--how big do you want the image to be?
-8 bit (8x8 canvas)--free
-16 bit (16x16 canvas)--free
-32 bit (32x32 canvas)--free
-Anything larger--50g per extra pixel on each dimension (34x32=100g, 34x33=150g, etc). Yes, that is a ridiculous price.

SHADING--adding dimension for a nice little touch
-No shading--free
-Shading--
-without dithering--25g
-with dithering (aka the very bane of existence)--50g

SPECIES--because not everything is an androgynous magical space doggo
-...if it's not human, explain and I'll decide
-human--free

GIFs--for those who want to go the extra mile... or for me to do it for them, I don't know....
-Still image--free
-GIF (short, looped video)--100g per frame, frame-by-frame description


LASTLY... Here's a list, everyone in the order I'll be working on them. If your name doesn't appear and there are people who pinged after you... consider revising your post for clarity and reposting.

CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES
please be patient....

Hello there, how much would, say, a 50x50 canvas cost?


Also, by frames for the gif thing, what do you mean by that? Im pretty new to pixel art, and my first 2 attempts were both epic failures. XD

Ooo, this is such a cute idea!
May I have a 32x32 pic of my avi just like your example? (so no shading I think? Sorry if I got that wrong)
May I also have a 50x50 pic of avi (same one) with shading and dithering?

I haven't really figured out how your enlarged pixel pricing works but would 50k for both drawings cover it?


Come to think of it, would there be a huge difference detail wise between the 32x32 and the 50x50? I'm really not great with envisioning the difference...If not, I might up the pixel count for the second drawing. I'm hoping for a cute little representation of my avi for the first and then a more detailed one for the second (tho not 500x500 of course :) )

50x50 I believe would run you 1,800g.

And each frame... hmmm... it's like a sequence of pictures that make the image 'move'

This is what your 32x32 without shading will probably look like... if there's anything you don't like about it, tell me and I can change it (I tried to make her smile, but it just looked awkward). This one... is actually free. No cost. (sorry it looks so big, there's nothing I can do about that, I'm afraid)

50x50 will be much more detailed. I'll go ahead and start working on it.

Oh shoot, did I write 50x50?

I meant 100x100 XD

Apparently I can neither write nor realize things

Edit- How much is 500x500? Im just trying to decide which one to pick lol

All good nwn

100x100 runs you 6,800g

500x500 would be 46,800g

Could I get a 500x500, with shading and dithering of my OC Lieke? I'd like it to be a headshot-maybe with her eyes open and a head tilted?



The eyes can be very simple (maybe like the easier type of anime eyes) - they are a dark crimson red. She also has jewelry on her right horn like the second photo.

I'd be happy to pay 100k (or more depending on the trouble you have with it) for it ^-^
