That no copy website show its images as jpgs; you said that the demoscene had a lot of pixel pushing, though. Do you have any urls to sites that show demoscene art in the proper pixel formats?
Yes.
www.gfxzone.org Knock yourself out. Read the Danny interview when he quit the scene. Look at Cyclone's work, Lazur's, Made's etc etc just remember that most of the awesome pics are copies. But amazingly made copies at that.
the only way i considered myself a teacher was that i was 'teaching' a few of the newer ones around here. have a good guess why i didn't profess to be able to teach anything other than newbies? because i am not much past that level myself....
The only qualification I had was a bit of spare time... but heh, even thats gone now.
No worries, lief. I understand. Just nitpicking, really. If you think my choice of words was unfair to you, I apologize and retract. Just trying to keep things in perspective because art forums easily get caught up in their own inner worlds. Remember to look outside, to the
real best artists, and to try to outdo them, not helm or ptoing. We're small fry.
in reality, no long how we pixel for we will never be much past 'newbie' level will we? theres always those stray pixels to tidy up, as we get better we just get more skilled at recognizing stray pixels.
It's true that you can pixel a piece for a long time and never be sure when it's done... but the pieces DO get better. I've been doing this for 10+ years and the last two of them have been a huge leap for me so there's hope
I look up to your skills as much as any demoscene artist Helm (and Ptoing, and countless others here), and it hurts to receive a lesson, I guess.
thanks, but we're easy (I'm the easiest, specially. Just smile at me and I take you to bed). work at it for 6 months and we're woosh, way in the back. Then set your sights to Cougar >: P
