Title: Pixel Art
Post by: Pumpkinbot on October 10, 2009, 03:35:11
Remember the old Super Nintendo that's now rotting somewhere in your attic? Pixel art is basically recreating that type of art. Pixel by pixel. I'm not very good, but I know Utherdol is and I wouldn't be surprised if there were other pixel artists here. So post away!
Here's mine (all album covers. :crazy:)

What is this it is not in my attic it is in front of the TV where it can be used.

Also like by definition I think almost anyone who has ever made a KS tileset is a pixel artist.

Elder's Salmoneous' work is quite good! :3

Here's what I have to offer up to the pixel-art table.

There's some concept-y art I did for a game I'm making.

Kasran, I couldn't see your pic in the topic, but when I was going to write this I saw it down in the topic summary. weird...

Um, anyway. I finished my robot today and I'm proud of it. Took approximately 1-2 hours. Very happy with my results.

Edit: oh and, it is made in mspaint, with 4 colors. no wait, 5 colors.

Wow, nice to get a mention, especially since I've been absent for ages. Thanks, Pumpkin.

Unfortunately I don't have aything new to show - my laptop died recently, taking with it all my various works-in-progress. However, here's a small selection of what was on my USB (all old avs).

Even though I have to create lots of 'pixel art' for my games, I seldom create pixel art just for the art. There are however 2 pieces that I created just for the fun of pixelling something.

AWESMOE. But the buildings in the first could use some anti-aliasing.

What program do you people make these in?

Is there a filter that makes all your stuff look pixelly? D:
Title: Re: Pixel Art
Post by: Razzorman on November 16, 2009, 12:54:57
Any program is fine for pixel art, even ms paint to some degree.
There is no pixel art filter. Its hand drawn.

wut? ms paint is perfect for pixelart. No, I mean what else is it good for? Sure it got some downsides and lack many things but it is easy and quick to use. I prefer ms paint for pixelart over many programs like gimp and photoshop.
Title: Re: Pixel Art
Post by: Hempuli on November 16, 2009, 15:29:15
I use MSpaint to pixel things and then Paint Shop Pro in case I need layering.
Though while making games I just use the MMF 2 default system, spritesheets would be too much of a job.
Title: Re: Pixel Art
Post by: Emeraldfire7 on November 16, 2009, 15:56:28
I always use MS paint, mostly because I'm too lazy to download anything else XD I have gimp but thats only when i need shaders in KS lol

That's good for a first attempt a isometric. I could never do it myself. P: But I do know a few good tutorials.

I wouldn't say mspaint is perfect for pixel art.  Its bare-bones basic interface leaves a little to be desired.  A program I think is perfect for pixel art is GraphicsGale Free Edition (http://graphicsgale-freeedition.software.informer.com/).  The right click is an eye-drop, which I think is an extremely easy and useful tool.  Basically everything else is simple and easy to tweak too.

That's why I like the MMF sprite sheet editor. :)

True (I now use GraphicsGale 'cause Windows 7's Paint is now overly complicated), but I used to make all of my pixel art on MSPaint 'cause it was very easy to use. :)

I say just go with what you're comfortable with, whether it be MSPaint, Gimp, GraphicsGale, etc.

What are those?  I like them, they sort of remind me of crazybones (if you know what those are).  This has a  half-pixel-art-half-by-hand kinda feeling to it.

congratulations Salmoneous you created a new pixel art style :D lol i like those things too, the legless floaty beings that are... what exactly have you named them? anyways :P2

New pixel art style?  :) it's just simple pixel art. Thick brush outlining and AA, nothing new with those things. And err... I don't know what they are, just simple doodles with no name.
