Hello all!
It's strange to see the return of the pixelation site, and with some familiar names here too! It's been some time since I was last active on pixelation, but I'm looking forward to seeing some of your great art here on this site.

Hello Helm.
Good to see you are still around. Are you still conducting secret graffiti raids?

Thanks for the vote of confidence Ptoing!
Hey, I like those cool self-portrait avatars. Is no-one doing a christmas themed avatar yet though?

Ok, well I guess it's been a long while since I posted this.
For those who didn't see it, a few years ago I decided to try to copy a movie frame from one of my favourite films at full size and in only 16 colours to test my copying ability.
I took a screengrab from the DVD of one of my favourite films Amelie and traced the outlines in a white colour. I then made all the other colours black so I had only a rough 2 colour outline drawing. Using solid and dithered fills I blocked in the base colours, added shading and refined each area again and again, until I come up with the finished picture. I did work from a traced outline and used dithered fills in a paint package, but everything else was hand drawn. The white highlight colour made a surprising difference to the image, I couldn't sacrifice it for a bright yellow like I wanted to originally. I also used heavy dithering both in the luminance and the hue channel.
Here is the movie still:
The progress pictures and then the movie still again:
And the final picture:

Hey there, I remember you by that image editor you were programming, geared towards pixel art creation. Never tried it, heh :P
Alex is Kon(spiracy) btw.
