About Me
Hi,
I'm sparxle , but you can call me Juliette. I joined dA in mid-December of 2008 and I've really grown love the dA community!
I draw (both traditional and digital) but mainly do pixel art and emotes. My main program for pixel art is GIMP. It is very much like PS but it takes some getting used to. Now I can't imagine doing art with anything other than GIMP!
Also, even though pixeling people is not one of my strengths, I have never used a base by someone else. Except for 1 or 2 deviations that I indicated that I used a template (such as the deviant I.D. above) everything is by me. I just feel like it's not really my work if I don't make the whole thing.
Current Residence: U.S.
Favourite genre of music: techno
Operating System: XP, Hardy
MP3 player of choice: ipod nano teh square one
Wallpaper of choice: I change it every week =P

Lol, it's just practice. There's no secret. When I first started my pixel arts stunk. Then I read some tutorials to pick up a few tricks. (There are a LOT on dA) The one thing that helps a lot (which also makes pixel art/emotes very difficult) is just having either a lot of patience or (in my case) being very obsessive.

Well, the template was by =BlissfullySarcastic so I really didn't do that much designing. For coloring I was just lazy and decided to use gradients the Gimp (the program I use) makes that easy. I made a subtle linear gradient for the background that goes from peach to pink. And each gradient that makes up a "shine" was bilinear (or at least I think that's what it was called, it goes in two directions) and on a separate layer so I could then adjust the opacities of the shines by simply adjusting the opacities of the layers. Nothing too complicated! Bottom line: layers are very useful!
Well, Idunno if that answers your question, but the coloring and the emote is the only part I actually did. My work is usually 100% my own, but when I had seen the template I could not resist customizing it!

Yeah, I've just seen =BlissfullySarcastic 's license template, well, you did a nice workaround with it.
Anyways, I can't stop looking at Jelly!^^ It's sooo cute.
