Hola Everyone! This is Manny and well I don't know if any of you know me, seeing how I'm not a pixel artist and this is my 2nd real piece of Pixel work (My 1st being a Shukaku icon I made a while back). But today I was kinda bored so I opened up a Paint Window and BAM! Megatron, the most Bad@$$ character in Transformers happened. I still need to Finish the Body then Animate it but for some reason I just had the urge to post it on Pixel Guild now. Also this took me forever. I was on the computer for like 2 hours straight completely zoned out from the rest of the world working on this, so if your going to crit don't be a complete 8==D and just bag on everything.


wow thats really good, what referance did u use. Lol btw i saw mes transformer and its no where as good.
3 things i thought u could tweak
1. i cant really tell where light source is coming from. Seems like u made half of it and mirrored it
2. try to use black outlines as less as possible. Its a little detail but it makes a difference
3. > Megatron, the most Bad@$$ character in Transformers
yeah we all know its Optimus prime

It looks very exact but like he said it looks like you mirrored make a direct light source. Also wasn't his soulders more of metal plates rather than wires. Make the metal thing under his nose pointed and more straight. Since you didn't use a light source it kinda looks like you pillow shaded somewhat along his metal plates. Other than that nice!

In response to Troy1121
Thanks, I'm kinda new to pixel art so I don't really know how to use a light source and still make the image look metallic.

Turning up the contrast for a more metallic look would be a good start. And filling in all those big gaping blank gray areas with detail before moving on and making other parts of the body.
