Teh Pixels Thread!

[Phoog]

Welcome.
This is a place for all pixel artist to come share techniques, comment and criticise and show-off your stuff.

A bit about pixel art for those of you who don't know.
First off. It's not just to do with MS Paint, so no wankers posting "omg paint sux lol" please. You can use Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or any other "cool" program.
Pixel art if simple, when you get the hang of it. So use this thread as a chance to ask other pixel artists questions, or ask for tutorials/guides etc.

Righto. I'll kick off with a fountain I did a while back. And of course, in true 'me' fashion, it was slightly unfinished.

Cheers. Glad you like it.
I started building a city around it. If you like I can post a link to it in a bit.

Anyway, here is a pool room. This is probably the best or only interior I have kept.
Comments appreciated! :)

I'd turn them into tiles, and put a surface around the outside, if I were you.

That was just my attempt on following a tutorial I found years back that was meant for PSP, so I used MS Paint. Just used a gif animator to transparentise the water thing.

Nice :D

I found some good software that is aimed at pixel art
http://www.humanbalance.net/gale/

Its good because the line tool works so that you can see wheather your obeying the "2across 1 up" rule in isometric. Its also got layers and a prieview box which is handy as when your zoomed in it allows you to see whats acctually changing etc

worth a try

Meh, done it a while ago... Looks crappy now.

I'd prefer if we didn't all flame this thread. THANK YOU!
I'm checking out that program now. It looks pretty nifty.
I'll download and play about with it and see what comes up.

Sadly, everytime I see pixel art it reminds me of Habbo hotel. That damn website has infested my brain, it appears. Nevertheless, good stuff. The bus is great, because of the fantastic highlights and shadows.

Racing car, vroooom

Again, like the bus, it is the shading and highlights that are what do it.
Your work seems to be the highlight of this thread.
Well done.

It looks pixely to me. That's very good. How long did it take?

I made a sig for this thread. Wear it with pride and link back :D
Also, feel free to change the colours or what ever, or make your own because I know it's not great, I just whipped it up in a few minutes.
