Pixel Artwork (Updated)

[_Khorne_]

Hi, I was hoping that some of the more renown pixel artists on this forum (SacreDoom, Daji, jrdimpfl) could help me out. I wanted to follow the trend and start working on pixel mods myself. For example I wanted to change the bow and quiver to something a bit more Zelda like, Such as this.
If anyone of you could tell me the program you use it would help me out tremendously.

Photoshop or PaintShop Pro, depend on my mood

[SacreDoom]

Those cost a pretty sum of money, I suggest GraphicsGale, Deluxe Paint, or Paint.NET.

GraphicsGale is the shit. Check out those Palettes for sure.

GIMP is a pretty much free version of Photoshop with a very bad interface.

If you have to choose between Photoshop and Paintshop Pro, PSP is a bit more pixel-friendly if you're animating.

Not much, but so far here is what I've done. Elongated the shaft :3 sharpened the head :3 and added a feather at the end. Red, like the arrows in the quiver.
Btw, unfortunately I can't scale this down because i have no idea how to. So just hold control and use your mouse wheel to zoom out. It will show you what it looks like in game. What do you guys think?

[SacreDoom]

Did you zoom in and edit it?

[_Khorne_]

I did. I kinda had to... to get to the pixels.
EDIT: oh... *hangs head in shame*

[SacreDoom]

No need to do that, I started by doing that too. (editing a screenie)

[DatOneGuy]

For the quiver and bow I don't think you can really pull off the level of detail that those things require.

yeah...
