This is a pixel art I did of Pearl Island. It's my first one and took several days (weeks?) to make, but it's probably not very good. The hills probably need a little work. It's not antialased so I can put it on a background. How do you like it?

Pearl Island, Pixel Art by Peardian, made in Paint


I guess I should explain some stuff about it. I thought of this for Yoshi's Island: World Tour. The grey dots in the bottom left corner are a bunch of bricks forming a trail onto the island (Levels 34-1 and 34-2). The floating brown things are crude models of the Doomships from Super Mario Bros. 3 (34-3). To the right of them is a fort on a frozen hill I use for a security station (34-4). Behind that is a model of the Egg Carrier from Sonic Adventure (34-5) and behind that is the Halberd from Kirby Superstar(34-6) (As you can see, I like giant aircrafts ). Far off to the right is a copy of the Blue Switch Palace (not part of any level but just for decoration). Behind the Halberd is a replica of Mt. Dedede (34-7) (Kirby's Dreamland) and finally there's my castle (34-8). The tiny ring over it is my secret garden (Extra 34). To the left of the center tower is my recreation area.

I bet I sound crazy, huh?

This is your first pixel art, or your first pic of Pearl Island?
Either way, it's awesome. I love the shading on the island, and that dark blue castle.. oh man. Kickass.
Now for some crits..

For the doomships, it's hard to tell that they're floating. After reading your description, I was able to see how it's supposed to look floating, but it just doesn't work out. It's also hard to tell that they're supposed to be anything, they just look like brown lines. I don't know how you could add more detail to something that small, though.
Where is the egg carrier?
The little river sort of looks like it's floating above the ground, because of the dark shading underneath it.
The biggest thing that bothers me is how most the picture is easy to look at, and then suddenly it gets busy in the area with the Halberd and fort. I couldn't immediately see exactly what was going on. I recommend that you just move the Halberd a bit.

These are all minor things though. Overall it's a great piece. Good job! Are you going to use it for anything?

That's looks nice. I like the Blue Switch Palace that's for decoration and the castle on top of the mountain is awesome. Keep up the good work.

P.S. By the way, you layout never shows up on my computer and I have trouble reading your text.

That looks incredible, and ya, your layout never shows up for me either.

One question tho, what is the "sound waves" coming out from the tower? That looks odd...

Good for a start but I think everything needs to be distributed a bit more. You have a whole cluster of things in one area and maybe two other objects far, far away from it. It's not interesting if all it's going to be is green. It needs more detail, maybe you could make some small iconic trees or mountains to make things more interesting. But, it's your island.

Now I wish I could do pixel art to see how good I am at it but I need watch someone work on a piece before I understand what the hell I'm going to be doing.

This is my first pixel art, which happens to be my first picture of Pearl Island. The Egg Carrier is hard to see because of its akward position north of Icy Security Station. It's that red thing behind it (facing NW).

It is kinda empty... maybe I could make a Koopa Cruiser and put it there. Ooh! Or maybe that giant axe thing from Super Mario RPG... and the Attack Carrier from Starfox.

The colored wave things are auroras.

Edit: Oh, right, the river's lower than the rest.
