Moonlost's and LupisDarkmoon's Pixel Art Thread!

by Moonlost
You may recall my old "Lucky Avatars" thread, in which I occasionally made up these pixelated avatars, which became surprisingly popular. Alas, due to the way my brain works and the number of requests I ended up getting, I frequently became burned out and would often have huge break periods.
Recently, I made a thread showing how I made my avatars. Lupisdarkmoon showed remarkable talent and a zest for making them and we soon got together and talked about perhaps combining our pixelated avatar skills for the benefit of Petopiankind.

And thus, this thread was born. Welcome to the "Moonlost and Lupisdarkmoon do pixelated stuff at your request" thread!
Consider this to be a semi-continuation of my old thread, only with two people working to bring you pixelated goodness.

The Rules


- These are free for use on these forums. If you see something you like here, feel free to grab it for your avatar. However, if you want to use one off-site, please ask first. We will generally agree to it, but we'd like to know where our art is being used. Same thing if you want to alter it in any way, ask first.

- Crediting us in your signature for our efforts is nice, but it's not required. We're pretty easy going that way. If you do give credit though, make sure it's to the right artist. :)

- Be patient. As small as these avatars are, one of them can take upwards of two hours to do. Badgering us about it won't make us want to work any faster. If we're going though burnout, or have other important things to worry about, we'll try to let you know that it could take a while.

- If you want one of us specifically to do your avatar, please make mention of it in your request. Otherwise, it's free game. Don't worry, both of us are as equally skilled as the other with these.

- WoW related art is possibly the easiest for us to do, but feel free to request something from another source, we'll usually be happy to attempt it. :)

- We are currently only doing avatars, but we may branch out into signatures in the future :O



Active Requests
Format: Request (Person drawing request)
These are, alas, NOT done in any order. In general older request will be placed before newer ones.


- Egyptian Vulture (Moon)
- Black Madexx (Moon)
- Turtwig (Moon)
- Murky [Baby blue murloc] (Lupis)
- Silver Hydra (Moon)
- Nuramoc (Lupis)
- Panda skinned Bear [Black/White and Black/Brown] (Lupis)
- Miraga's Bearded Dragon, Benito

MOONLOST'S WORK

Old "Lucky Avatar" thread, some older avatars located here

How it's done

I'm not ashamed to say my work has been steadily improving since I stated my lucky avatars thread, so the quality you see with a lot of these is not representitive of the quality I can do now. In the future, I may redo a number of my older avatars that are in dire need of it. :)

Eee! :)

I'm not 100% sure how I'll squeeze this in, but I'm love to see a brown tarantula avatar available please. ^_^ For...obvious reasons. <_<

And because I cannot resist the Big Bear-Puppydog Eyes, if there's a spare moment for a black bear avatar, that would also be greatly appreciated. <3 >_>

Whoops, just the regular 'alive' version. Hee, forgot to specify. :)

Getting near done with Karoma. I'm probably going to post two versions, one with a black background and one with no background. Reason being, I'm trying to make her look ghostly. That means not including a "Base colors" layer. It will hopefully look nice regardless of background color, but I think black looks very nice too.

You should go for the undead version instead. Everything is better when it's undead.

Anyhow, I'm still amazed at the amount of detail in these pictures. Jealous, even. :D

Errr, sorry for the complete change in style here. >.>

The one without a background doesn't look nearly as nice in my opinion, and I may redo it at some point.

They both are amazing but I especially love the black background one. Extremely nice job. Camel one is very cute!

That is a very, very neat idea. I never thought of making the "ghostly" pets that way, and it most definately works. Nice job!
The black does look better, but you can't beat the transparent for giving the whole ghostly feel to the art.

Also, done with my Ninetails finally!

You two make the most EPIC pair ever. All of your avatars are just that amazing.

I have a very special request for either of you to take on. I got myself a new baby, artwork wise and he's currently my pride and joy. While not entirely 'WoW' based I'm sure he'd be up your alleys :3 He's what you could say an 'undead dragon' like the Skeletal Wyrms of WoW.

Anyway...

Ref 1
Ref 2

Art is my own >3> (ow my hands hurt so badly with all that detail lol), this is Lucifer. A funky Eyeball, Undead Dragon thing lol
Skull/Horns would be a slightly Tar Based Finish coloration, basically looking somewhat like that skull there. The horns being the same color as the Teeth.
His flesh would be a pale grayish red, think almost zombie like but not fully zombie like.
The eyes (if you get any in there lol) are Red, bright red :p
And the hair is a Black with Red Highlights towards the tips :3

Sorry for lack of a colored reference, but his actual colors are quite simple and the like. No worries on whoever does this, I suppose whoever desires the challenge to do this crazy bugger can have a go. And if you want to smack me and go BUGGER OFF! Feel free to ;P I'll still come by to look at your epicness :D

....So calling dibs on that, if Moon doesn't desperately want to draw it herself!
I have a couple others to work on at the moment, but if I end up being the one to draw your avatar, I look forward to it!

Hehe, all yours. I'll be busy with boars, wolves and cat-foxes (oh my!)

Still, absolutely badass character! XD
