Masks

[Kole]

^ I read those guides and when asked to make a different type of icon look for a guide similar specified for what i have to do and it does help since it makes my icons at the level to get accepted sometimes i try to do things different to how the guide says to get the look i want then Rotem gets mad at me ;w;

This is kole re-color of my base mask.

Need a link to the guides again since I don't have it bookmarked on this PC. Here are the colors used on the masks.

I don't need the colors on the mask, dream maker shows it automatically... I don't really understand why you posted that. Are you not using dream maker? If you're using another tool with fancy gradient and blurr tools that'd be bad.

Those tools are what makes high definition into standard definition, I would highly recommend against using them.

Google 'pixel art shading guide', you'll be set.
Iconning is, make shape outline, shade, toy with colors and if you're really good, AA. Right now you really are lacking with color selection and shading which is ok because this is what everyone struggles with... until they get good, then people struggle to be as good as them.

I struggle to draw any shape that isn't just a line..

I only use DM. On your example you showed the colors you used, so I decided to do the same.

[Rotem]

Oh, I put that line of colors so that I won't lose previous colors if I try out different shades, dreammaker removes it from active list once it's gone.

The TWC mobs also shove /fuckton/ of colors to that list, it's a bit annoying.

4 colors.

Better? o.o

[izziwerty]

I would wear that 

[Skystone]

Updated both masks to have only 4 colors and look a little better.

This may help with the side view mask on TWC for the chaos/peace masks.

[Justin]

I already fixed the side view yesterday in a few seconds  since no one was capable of doing it. :)

[Rafi]

there's just 2 colors of masks?

[Sara]

So, I keep seeing the masks we have now on TWC. The Chaos and Peace one. And it bothered me on how there's no "Eye" openings. I took the icon that Kole re-colored, just to test something out. Then I changed it up a little bit and out came this result. It bothered me because it looks like the players are walking blindly, and in real life, no one would be able to do that (Unless they are actually blind or someone mastered Earth bending like Toph)



Side note: I don't have the mask in my own possession. It's just a created object I edited for it to be shown in the picture, and to see if it'll look right.

[Rotem]

The original mask I made had eye opening that Kole closed off. I am unsure what looks better.

The mask is pretty small and it doesn't really matter if there's an eye opening, you can just as easily do a paint over of different eyes. Kole just believed closing off the eyes will provide more space to work with and look better.
