Hello. Andy here.

Although I did a bit of sprite editing for Doom when I was a kid, my forte has always been 3d. However, the pixel art in many games (especially the Metal Slug series) and the work of pixel artists (Paul Robertson!) just blows me away and I have great respect for those who can create such amazing work.

Since I am trying to make my own 2d game for the Gamma 256 compo (probably won't make the deadline though...) I've decided to try and learn a bit about pixel art so that I can make some sprites for it. I found this forum from a link on TIGSource and after having a browse of some threads came to realise that this is one of those rare internet forums run and visited by smart, rational and helpful people, so that's why I joined*.

Anyway, I haven't got any pics to post yet, but when I do I'll be sure to seek the advice of you guys first.
