General Discussion / GraphicsGale newbie questions
« on: April 30, 2010, 09:53:07 pm »
Hi,

Hope these question dont annoy as Im a newbie to GraphicsGale, though did try to find the answers rather than just asking questions straight away.

Using GraphicsGale I created a sprite (submitted in WIP) at 4 bpp (16 colours) I would like to create a piece in 32 colours which is 6 bpp (I think amigas used this) Is it possible to do this (reduce colours to 32 in 8 bpp)?

Am I blind or can you not resize an image in GraphicsGale?

Finally I set transparency at the frame level, selecting a colour and though it works fine in .gif I must have missed a trick when using .png, anyone know what I might have done wrong?

Thanks
Rob  :y:

Pixel Art / [WIP] First ever sprite - Monster
« on: April 29, 2010, 04:59:18 pm »
Greetings,

This is my first post and piece of pixel art, a monster sprite which was inspired by the classic acorn electron game, monsters (Screenshot below).


Monsters game is basically a coin-op conversion of the game Space panic.

I thought for practice I would do my version of the sprites and chose to use blue colours rather than red for one set of the monsters and instead of green tiles for the platform I will use a sandy/desert orange colour which I think will compliment the blues.

Below is my Monster sprite, Initially I did add try out dithering and attempting to give the monsters a fluffy feather appearance but in the end decided to submit the version of the monster below which aint pretty but the best from a bad bunch.



Looking forward to hearing advice and tips, especially regarding the shading, outline and anti-alias.
I left off a menacing mouth (though not in the original) as couldn't get the look quite right.

Thanks
Rob
