Some little sharpening could improve it, but looks cute !

Btw, could you reply to my VM please ?

Had the same problem with my Brooch. You see these little pixels at the edges ? I guess you took a little picture for base, now it is difficult to make them vanish.
It is overall the right site of the bully, I would say.

I am not planning to add King Bully to my game. but it may come up in future versions


ye I will be working on those little black pixels around the edges

I don't know whether it is only me, but it is the whole ball, it is not a .. perfect ball. Guess it is rather unimportant as the whole image looks quite good !

Weird, must be some illusional thing because the ball was made perfect from start the ball form was not by hand

updated again... now sharpened and smoothed those pixels

Do you use Button Manager ? Sometimes he fcks up the quality...

Is it only me or is it even worse now ? Ah not by hand, then it is clear, circles are pixeled, I never use them as you have to do a lot more to improve the icon later than drawing them freehand

This thing reminds me a bowling ball with horns rather than the bully. I feel that more shading is needed and that the eyes need more definition. That white thing in the middle of the eyes is probably what makes me think about a gleaming clear bowling ball

Like ur other icons of the same kind, this one is pixelated too.
I also use Gimp, and my drawings don't come out pixelated, unless i u se the sharpen tool in an exaggerated mode.
So, assuming that's work from scratch, it shouldn't be pixelated(imo), unless u over-sharpen it.
The icon is kinda dark, there's too much black.
Coz the ball is black, u can change the bg, to improve the atmosphere.
Shading/highlights also need work. Regarding this, u can see some sphere drawing tutorials.
The horns color could be another shade of yellow, a bit more vivid yellow, to break the monotony that dominates the icon. Those horns also need proper shading.
U can even do a bit zoom out.
Its feet and that glow are both reddish, it's confusing.

Some pics that might inspire u: http://www.mariowiki.com/images/e/e9/MarioBully_SM3DW.png, http://www.galeantokal.com/work/1997/

I will be working on it sin'dorei


My idea currently is finish the first version of the map where this belongs asap and then slowly work on each detail (like the icons and description).
