Pixel-Art Programs

Forums: 

Hello dear Pixel-Art Fellows,

 

i did read the Log from Yesterday, where someone wanted to know, what Pixel-Art Programs are available. Well, i'm creating Pixel-Art mainly, so i know a few good one's.

 

You can use this Programs, instead of using overpowered Programs as Photoshop or the like:

Pixel editor for iphone

Forums: 

I made a pixel editor called Pixation for the iphone. I created it because i wasn't happy with any of the existing pixel editors so i made one exactly how i thought it should be... so obviously its what i use now to make pixel art on the go.

More OGA mascot sketches, and some art practice and thoughts...

Forums: 

I recently concluded that part of the reason I have trouble drawing faces in manga style is that my concept of the 3D shape of the (simplified, manga-style) human head is somewhat fuzzy, so I decided to practice it a bit and see what I came up with.  I think I'm making some progress, but if anyone could pick these sketches apart, I'd appreciate it:

After that, I tried applying this to a sketch of Sara:

I've been working recently on coming up with an update for OGA's mascot, Sara.  Here's what I've got so far:

Caution: the image is fairly large.  I'm looking for comments, critiques, etc, so please chime in with your thoughts.

If anyone is curious about the reference I used for her hair design, I found this page searching for "bombshell hair" on google:

Amazing 720p digital painting tutorial videos from a design school in Singapore

Forums: 

I give these guys a lot of credit, putting so much info out there.  My kind of advertising. :)

Anyway, I haven't had time to watch all of their videos, but they look pretty sweet.

16x16 Tiles WIP

Forums: 

This is my first attempt at doing anything other than Wesnoth sprites. It's actually turning out to be a lot of fun.

These were created to match the Tiny Town tiles, which I believe are being used in at least one project. If not, these tiles will wait for the day someone starts a project with a need for 16x16 tiles. :) There are 2 lava tiles, some rock/brick wall tiles and variants, some wood walls/floors, and some pipes. I'm going to be adding to these before I upload, but what do you think of what I've got so far?

Cheers!

my project

Forums: 

Alright. I'm a terrible pixel artist, but I'm getting slowly better.

Hoping I can get some critiques, feedback, whatever.

I made the character fairly spontaneously using some Cave Story fanart I made equally spontaneously many months ago - hence the simplicity of design.

If for some reason anyone likes these, they are, of course, free for use, without restrictions.

Hardware (tablet) question...

Forums: 

So I run KDE and I have a wacom tablet.  Unfortunately, I've only really used the tablet on windows, because the aspect ratio of my screen doesn't match the aspect ratio of the tablet, and I can't find a setting to correct for that in KDE.  Anyone know where to look in order to address that?  I'm running Fedora 13.

Let's get this forum started!

Forums: 

Just wanted to open up this forum with a topic about digital painting with Open Source Software, namely MyPaint and GIMP Paint Studio.
