The art of the pixel

Postby Aurastorm » Tue Oct 13, 2009 6:41 pm

i do pixel art when i'm not being bullied by boars and amassing a mighty army of carrots in H&H, so without further ado

Image
Some thing i whipped up in 30 minutes for a contest

Image
Mighty boomer in all of his fat glory

Image
some thing i did for a fictional army of sludgey beings

Image
pretty much like the thing before but it flies and does not walk.

Image
a homage to the wonderous tablet, in all of it's pen pressure sensitive glory

Image
really old piece of pixel art

Image
Some ships i was making for some guy's game but then i went out of contact with him and things fell apart


And as a little bonus picture...

Image
Captain Bonk himself. Mighty space pirate scout who knows no mercy.


If anyone wants any pixel art done for themselves, or for any other reason i can do it for you for absolutely nothing, provided that its not too big

C&C appreciated too

I zoom in 1600x on photoshop and use the 1px tool, while setting my mouse to a terrificly low DPI. I don't use all the fancy settings on photoshop, i just like it for the interface really

Quite nice work. I tried to get some folks back at my forum into a pixel-art thing and it went nowhere.

Here's something I'd like to request; a picture of Jorb. I'll leave it to you to decide how best to represent him.

Oh, and take a look at paint.net. It's great for pixel work in my opinion.
Surprise.

Sure i'll work on it, and i've tried paint.net before - doesn't really fit my tastes in programs

Please make a pixel representation of the city of brodgar and the ring of brodgar.

Target size is under 700x700 pixels if you can, please include all fences, cabins and major constructions like kilns and ovens.

At long last, i have finished jorb! Here he appears as the mighty ruler of space, hooded and wearing a mysterious mask observing his pathetic subjects

Nice. Somehow horrifying, yet simultaneously amazing.
