As some may have seen keys1980 has been giving us some arty tips. I'm sorry to say it has slightly derailed Ðxhealer thread so I thought I would start this one. So keys1980 gave me this design to follow for a tinkerbell.  And I'm happy to say after an hour it's going well  I might well pull this off after all  |

This is great, I'm gonna stop playing tsto  My masterpiece is my pirate-bart from the pirate day. Because I never can do better, this will be my one and only artwork. I'll never get those art-badges... |

Thanks Mitzy, I was thinking about making my own thread and was struggling with a tittle for it. Keys art school is perfection, well done! Love that you are actually using what I made for you, looks fantastic thus far! LoL definitely did derail Ðxhealer thread. As I said in that thread if anyone would like a specific pixel art template to have an art piece in their town I will happily make it for you. I can post it in this thread or PM it to you if you want it under wraps . I can give suggestions on what decorations to use in making the piece. I typically use a 64x64 graph template (that's pretty big, a single piece of road/pavement is 4x4). I can go bigger still or smaller if you want (smaller equals less detail equals less awesome FYI). All in all I am an open book here to help create a template and offer advice on how to transfer it to your town. Also no pressure to use what I make. I know it can be daunting or maybe you just won't like what I make for you. It's all good, please nobody be shy in communicating exactly what you want. Let's all break EA's servers together with giant art pieces  No stupid questions either. If you have any questions ask em. |

keys1980 I need an idea for caspar ghost in my town... Mitzy says you can help! What items would u use (no premium please!)? @tdpreys, Casper the ghost is my bud. Good choice I went with a seasonal appropriate Casper and a more classic Casper. If you went with the advanced seasonal art I would suggest using: -green hedges/shrubs or snapdragons for the black outline -pumpkins for the orange pumpkin -green hedges for the green swirl at the top of the pumpkin stock -brown fencing for the brown pumpkin stock -either silver garbage cans, white ice sculptures,,or simply concrete for the white of Casper If you go simple just apply the same advice for Casper and the outline   |

Well kudos to you keys1980 for being willing to help! I look at the art being created and I'm very intimidated. Nice that you're willing to show people how to do it step by step. |

Keys what about the Duffman like my premium badge? Suggested decorations: - Single and double spaced hedges for all the black outline/glasses/duff symbol or black snapdragons - Red newspaper boxes for the red cape and red hat - $700 green planters for his blonde hair, or burning bushes - white fences or just concrete , or maybe garbage cans for all the white areas - washing machines for his skin tone - tricky part is the blue, maybe double spaced blue chairs and tweak the outline as needed, don't know if phone booths would look good but it's possible, or just substitute any decoration that would work despite it being a different color , pumpkins, hedges, shrubs etc etc  |

Hey keys1980, the caspar you made for me looks like a naked baby! But i like it, good suggestion! @tdpreys, happy you like the naked baby . All the same Casper is a rather quick draw so here is a perhaps less naked babyish, more ghostly option.  |

ÐxhealerI know you asked me in your other thread if I thought what you had done Was complete, and asked me to stitch it together for you. Hope you don't mind my responding here. Just want people to see what a template can look like completed. I know I have a bias opinion but I think you killed it and love what you did with it. I'll be honest if I was to have put this template in my town I would have done it differently and I would have been wrong because I'm loving how yours turned out! To answer your question, yes it's complete! Template and the end product

keys1980 you are a master artist and not surprising master in stitching images Thank you for making my funny dragon love him now if I could finish my town I don't mind you posting here at all we should keep this thread clean so ppl can come by and see what a wonderful teacher you are ! Ok big request I am stuck with how to complete my town but I think if I could see my town in whole it would help me, would you be willing to make a stitch of my town? Oh and I think making giant art is addicting like tattoo I want a new one already ! Lol Not till I get more tickets in KL though
