New avatar : D

Edit: just updating it with the silly gif

I need more animation skills xD

It's something /o\

Phew! Finished!

From last post, my new ID/ avatar kind of thing for my deviantArt and elsewhere XD

Pixel art is a lot of work but it was fun as well~ it was kind of therapeutic. I really enjoyed!

I've read most tutorials on this list [link] plus some others I picked randomly on google.

I've used both Paint Tool SAI and Photoshop CS for it. (Binary tool on SAI and pencil tool on Photoshop for those who doesn't know what tool to use - like I didn't ;u; )

When I resized to 50x50 (dA's icon size), I thought it looked strange so I increased some of the contrast to look better on that scale:

(I also changed the mouth shape at this point)

But I screwed something by not saving in the correct file size (maximum is 50kb for avatars) and in the end I kept the original mouth and this is how it currently looks:

Ahhh I don't know when I'll do pixel art again XD But I definitelly learned to respect pixel artists (even) more~

I feel like I accomplished something by knowing how it's done even though I cheated a little on dithering lol 

And I get to have new icon and ID~

Pixels

A change for my avatar on deviantArt

It's my first attempt at it and I'm still reading tutorials about it ~

Yeah, dithering? I'm just making a random pattern.. as long as it looks good at a 50x50 size will serve my purpose though lol

I think I will animate the mouth, making it switch from blank to smiling but dA's avatar size restriction is 50kb so let's see if it will be small enough ;_;

Anyway, I just wanted to update the blog : D

Untill next time~!
