Im just gonna stick your quote in a spoiler because you wrote a lot.. Spoiler
Just to clear some things up what you said, because tbh you scared me a little using the word 'theft'. As mentioned in my first post, this is my first attempt at not just making a hat, but pixel art in general. Fair enough, I should have done some research before attempting this, I had no idea about colour ramps, being in control of every pixel, the importance of Hue shifting and Luminescence etc. I just saw pixel art as this new style of art. Secondly, just to clarify, none of you guys are probably not going to like hearing this, or just not care, but I used ArtStudio to create this. I prefer the flexibility and accessibility to my work and being able to zoom in and shade with my fingers rather then the simple click of a mouse, this is also part of the reason why there are so many colours. Lastly, as I stated before, im a graphics student, I have experience in design and art, ive done it before. When I shaded in my previous works, I changed the opacity because that is my personal preference. I never knew that shading in pixel art involves creating colour ramps and you have to keep on a hard edge, which is my bad, but now that I know anything I will post in the future wont have over 100 different shades anymore. |

Don't misunderstand what I've said. Just read carefully. I did not accuse you of theft. It's plain and obvious to see your pixel placements from Dylan's close up so I know its not a theft from anything. I merely stated the unorthodox method you used in making your pixel art. No harm in it except making it harder for actual stealers to recolor your stuff. |

It is a really nice hat for your first hat . Probably needs a little work on the shading though. Quite a few too many horizontal lines. Anyways, I like using Sprite Something & TinyPixels when I pixel on my iDevice rather than ArtStudio. I feel like you can't move freely on ArtStudio.
