Demonskid 12-02-2011 03:06 PM

same here but my friends caught on to it.

it was just boring

Coda 12-02-2011 10:34 PM

It took a long time to get started but if you can wrap your head around everything it's really very deep and intriguing.

Belial 12-03-2011 01:58 AM

This Month's items are so much better than any other sites.
It's the only site I donated to since they were so amazing.

Whatever your artists are doing? KEEP DOING IT!!

Seriously, you kick other sites out of the freaking water.

I would first like to point out that you haven't included why you think this way, or what can be done to improve. This results in the artists not being able to take your opinion and next month you will probably feel the same displeasure. I also ask you to clarify what you exactly mean by that. It's not very specific.

However, I will take a stab in the dark and assume you mean the lack of colour options or poses, because it was something that I consciously dialled back. This was a decision I purposely took for 2 reasons.

1. Old DIs had less poses and colours.
I understand Trisphee has evolved since the start, but after Alex spoke out about it, I started to take it seriously. There is no reason why we can't go back to smaller DI sizes. There's no reason to not split up ONE GIANT DI into 2 smaller DIs. In fact... wouldn't we stand to gain more profit from similar sister items than 1 big one?

2. We just don't have a lot of artists.
For me, smaller DIs mean a lesser load on what little artists we DO have. Last thing I want is anyone being overworked, including myself. We have designers and flat artists. We also have staff learning to be full pixel artists.. but until then, we remain understaffed and less poses can help ease the burden a bit.
Cyber Reaper was mainly BLACK with smaller hints of only 3 colour variations.
USB Sword was very simple as well with 3 colour variants.

I'm not saying that we should go back to very simple and tiny DIs.. I'm just thinking that dialling back a little wouldn't hurt.

I'm sorry that you feel its not up to your standards. If there's any suggestions you have for my end, feel free to leave them. Please note that I don't decide which item becomes the ADI and which is the RDI; I only do the pixelling. However since the items I pixelled became the RDI this time around, I feel semi-responsible.

Rem 12-03-2011 09:32 AM

I feel you absolutely made the right choice Duchess. And a smaller number of poses means the poses that are created have more details and extra attention given to them. It's better all around.

^ This. Definitely this. ^

Rosekitten 12-03-2011 11:01 AM

Time for my five cents >.>
While the items are cute I think I agree with Duchess. I rather liked the old items like the Reaper and Woodland Archer (both items i know i have well over 10 of each). Most of the new ones i have maybe 5 at most probably less if they didn't pick my fancy.

Personally this months items weren't on my questing list ^^; not my style but they are still cute and well done so im not going to bash them just because i'd never use them :3 besides enough other people like them to make up for me hehe

Thank you. :)

But it's all true, the artists here are not stuck up, in love with themselves, or passive aggressive. They still talk to us and don't hide from their creations.

What I love most about the artists is that they are steadfastly not sending out something half shaded, weird colors, rushed, ETC.

You can tell they spent real time on the items. Out of all the sites I go to, Gaia, Ernya, Solia, The items here don't look mass produced as if it was on an assembly line. Things here are not annoyingly kawaii, they don't look like paper doll cut outs, Trisphee doesn't have artists that could care less or want you to "feel their pain of having to make art for a living"

So I will appreciate the you know what out of this site until all that changes. I hope that never changes but if Trisphee gets huge, it will whether we like it or not. *sad*

Alexander Linden 12-04-2011 01:39 PM

It's been a while since I mentioned that, but yes, it would be nice to see the item poses split up a bit. There really are way too many in single items now.

I wish I could Participate in being a Trisphee artist but I have no idea how to Pixelate, or even if the designs even looks good

Espy 12-04-2011 06:43 PM

Honestly, this month's DIs aren't my favorites, but then again, not everyone was happy when Caped Avenger and Brave Victory (more my style) came out.

Size doesn't matter too much to me...ok, well, maybe the USB Sword, Seabreeze, and Feather Folk were a bit small. LoKI was a nice-sized DI, IMO.

I'd chime in with the "making more money" thing, but I can't donate in the first thing, sooooo...yeah. Haha.


@Belial: ....there are artists who're in love with themselves?

@Belial: ....there are artists who're in love with themselves?

Yup

Some sites have artists who compete as to who's item is rarer. So the artists here are soo much classier.

Espy 12-04-2011 07:46 PM

....LOL WHAT EVEN. That's such a lame way to compete. IMO, a rare item probably means it didn't give a good first impression.

Duchess 12-04-2011 09:09 PM

Yeh.. Rare means that not much people got it in the first batch. Whether it be because of a small user base like here on Trisphee or that not many people actually wanted it ^^;

But I can understand the elitism of it. Durhurhur my item costs more than yours hurhur Only rich selected few have my items durhurhurhur

It's pretty stupid imo.

I think the greatest compliment to a pixel artist is not words or sales or anything like that, but rather actually seeing the item in use. The prettiest most sold item is still worthless if no one is actually using it.

Espy 12-04-2011 09:26 PM

Yeah, if I were an artist, I'd probably be way happier seeing a lot of people use that item rather than "OHSHET, THAT DI COSTS 13-FREAKING-K."

Demonskid 12-04-2011 09:33 PM

I get super happy when I see people wearing the Ofuda I pixeled :3 my one and only item i did by myself xD

Espy 12-04-2011 09:34 PM

Thanks for reminding me that I gotta make a ninja-esque avi. A punk avi was top priority, but I'm having trouble piecing it together.

Demonskid 12-04-2011 11:07 PM

o.O Ninja's are awesome <3

Coda 12-04-2011 11:14 PM

Yeah, I like it when I see people using Dacorum's Glaive; I did that one myself.

Ultima 12-05-2011 09:41 AM

Heh, I get happy when people are wearing Taiki's belt from the Belts of Staff because my sister made the 'rough' version and won the contest >w< .... But I have made nothing D8

I liked Caped Avenger and Brave Victory, the only one I wasn't a fan of is April Showers and the Celestial Werewolf

Sei 12-05-2011 12:42 PM

I only placed in the first contest Trisphee had... I got third, I think. xD

I do like this months' items, though. I just rarely change my avatar. >.>;;

Demonskid 12-05-2011 05:02 PM

Since I normally use black and red.. I hardly ever use a lot of the DI's =w=, When I do its hard to come up with something I like.

I went back to my original Avi from when Trisphee first opened to open Beta and just added a few things xD thats how lazy I am with my Avi's.

My favorite DI would have to be... Fictasu <3 cause.. it was designed after Toothless from "How To Train Your Dragon" and.. I like it OxO

I don't think I have one that I dislike at all.

Tiva 12-05-2011 05:59 PM

I never realized that.... I want a toothless!

Alpha 12-05-2011 06:01 PM

Hmmmm....did not know that. Might have to get it now.

Ultima 12-05-2011 06:01 PM

Well it's not an exact copy =P It can't be or else Trisphee would be breaking copyright stuff and things.

Tiva 12-05-2011 06:05 PM

I see it now..... but i had like 3 people going "Toothless!" when i stated that

Demonskid 12-05-2011 06:15 PM

*picks up the mini Black and Blue toothless* x3
