Wow, guys!

Thank you so much for your great responses! I think you are right in the fact that I will get disheartened if I try do something as complicated as Wing Commander to start with, but I'm still unsure of then what I should start with.

Should I just try and make something simple a d submit it, even through it might be awful?

FYI: super interesting that the artist came from a painting background.

Thwank you all for your great answers.

Cameron

Gill,

The way i'm practicing is trying to copy existing art from the Amiga days. If I try and make something myself from my brain it sucks! Hehehe

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Cameron.

Hi Gil,

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I think it takes a lot of work to get to that level.

I'm going to post some of my work soon, but I just want to make it a bit more tidy.

May I ask, how long you have been doing PixelArt and do you think you could make something of that quality. I hope you don't mind me asking it's just to get an idea.

Thanks,

Cameron.

Hello,

I LOVE pixelart. I grew up in the Amiga days (UK) with Pixel art. My goal is to be able to do Pixel Art of the level of Wing Commander!

I'm a software developer and would love to learn Pixel art to make games, not really for money just for fun.

My question is someone who has never really done any form of art will I be able to get to the standard to make an image of this quality?





I'm spending on average 1 hour a day / each day on practicing. How long would you expect it to take (i know each person is different)

Thank you for your time,

Cameron.
