Title: New AIM icon for myself
Post by: Dustin on April 08, 2006, 04:30:15 am: It's been a long time since I've really done any pixel art at all. I totally lost track of what happened to Pixelation, but I see it's migrated here. (thanks, Camus, for the info)

So I got myself a new AIM screen name tonight and decided I'd make myself a new pixel icon to go with it, since my last AIM icon was pixelated to.

Here's the old icon:

And here's the one I made tonight:

Don't get me wrong, I still like the Pac-Man one, but it was just time for a change of scenery.

Kinda' looks like what would result if Scoobie and Shaggy ever succumbed to their feelings for each other. ;)

Thanks for the roffleiscious comment. XD

It's good to be back with friends again.

Everything is looking great; I've always loved your minimal style. It would be cool to see some animations from you, again (I will never forget that pacman fighting sprite).

Welcome back. :)

Post by: Dustin on April 11, 2006, 02:32:09 pm: Hey Darion. Your alias is still Darion. ;p

Hmm... did you have me on your AIM or MSN messenger list? Maybe that would help jog my memory a bit, since I'm horrible with names. I'd probably recognize you easier if I saw some of your work.

Thanks for the compliment! Also, unfortunately, no, I'm not working on any games. I've figured out that I get too discouraged working on an entire game project by myself, so what I want to do now is practice up on my pixel skills and maybe get a part making a game with others, but instead of doing all aspects by myself, I just want to make the graphics.

Does Total Klik ring a bell?

EDIT: Whoever added that filter is a genius.

Post by: Dustin on April 11, 2006, 08:07:03 pm: The forum filters Peg-w-o? HAHA, wow, someone got pissed. XD

Yeah, I remember you, Miguel. I loved the work of NDeal. (didn't I do some stuff with you?)

Post by: Evan on April 12, 2006, 01:22:22 am: Haha, filtering P3GW0? Weird. I had to test.

As for the icon, it looks fine. Honestly, there's nothing you could really do to it, however, the highlight under the eye bugs me for some reason. I dunno...
