Pixel Art

Dansby · February 10th, 2008, 03:56 AM

Just to prove to some of you what can be done in MS Paint.

(15 colors)

(8 colors)

(4 colors)

(32 colors)

(68 colors)

(75 colors)

(20 colors)

(26 colors)

(16 colors)

(16 colors)

I used to be big into pixel art several years back and found a site I used to be a member of and thought I would show ya'll some of the stuff that can be done by hand with a limited number of colors and in a program as simple as MS Paint. Of course theres some pure skill involved too! haha.

Enjoy!

now how does the colors work? is it just the colors them selves counted or does blending them count?

Dansby · February 10th, 2008, 04:04 AM

It's just the colors themselves. The blending and such is called dithering. It is used to make a small color count appear to have many more colors. Pixel art is all about using as few colors as possible to make the image you are making.

thats pretty damn cool man. but not enough where you need to post the same topic twice lol. but cool none the less

Dansby · February 10th, 2008, 04:07 AM

Definitly didnt mean to post it twice. I was going through the site finding pictures, and it logged me out of MM so when I logged in, it posted it twice, haha. Just let the other die.

well shit happens one of the moderators will take care of it. so do you have any of your work posted up in this topic?

Dansby · February 10th, 2008, 04:14 AM

I wish. I was 13 or so when I got into it and never got very good. I had some interesting pieces, but none that were nearly as good as this. These are guys that do it for a living for gameboy and other things along that line. There are some phenominal artists out there.

That shit is weak bro. I could teach you a few things.

Dansby · February 10th, 2008, 02:07 PM

Oh snap. Fry is talented.

Obviously its the tint. Thats why I admire his work. The detail is so finet, but at the same time, it's obvious what it is!

Finally, someone with a sense of understated creativity.
