[quote=Jorick] That first part is disturbing but true. The sucking at art thing doesn't really apply to pixel art (despite the name) as much as you might think. I'm garbage at art, can't even draw a stick figure properly unless I put an embarrassing amount of effort into it, but I was able to make the Cyberman without much trouble. I found a pixel art Cyberman head that I recreated by altering the dimensions, but for everything else I only had normal pictures of Cybermen as a reference. Actually formulating the appearance in pixels was much easier than I expected, though tweaking the dimensions to make it look right when it was all put together gave me some issues. It turned out well enough that anyone familiar with Doctor Who would probably recognize it without any trouble, and if I can do it then anyone with enough motivation to try it and actually take the time necessary for it can definitely make something decent.Seriously, I'm so atrocious at art that the last time I attempted to draw something more complicated than basic geometric shapes and scribbles was in 7th grade when I had some assignment that required me to do so. I felt so embarrassed by my shitty drawing that in 8th grade and onward I simply refused to do the art stuff asked of me in school and willingly took point deductions on assignments for not doing the drawing portions of things. I could be the poster child for being shit at art, and I still managed to make a passable pixel Cyberman. It's super simple when you reduce it to the pixel level, so simple that even I can do it. [/quote] "Disturbing" pretty much sums up 1×1. All that is sweet and innocent must die there. Well, I appreciate your faith in me/everyone! Maybe I'll give it a shot, seems we're rather similar in terms of aversion to and experiences of embarrassment after attempting to venture into the art world. But, as simple as pixel art might be, don't downplay yourself - sounds like art is very much the opposite of your comfort zone, but the cyberman you made is freaking awesome. I'm not gonna go on a pep talk, but yknow, take some pride and whatever. :) Iron Man, here I come.
