Title: Has it been two years?
Post by: ironwallaby on March 23, 2006, 09:34:42 pm: Here's a little piece to get myself back in the pixel groove, as it's been so freaking long since I pixelled anything.

I'm much faster than I used to be, interestingly... this little guy only took me an hour and a half, which puts my productivity at roughly 2 or 3 times what it used to be.

Looks nice tho.

I've always been a horribly slow pixeller; so I never did much because it would take so long. That's why I decided to work on that. :p

Post by: ironwallaby on March 24, 2006, 03:36:05 pm: Out of curiosity, do you have any productivity/speedpixelling-related tips?

Or ought I just practice by giving myself a set time, forcing myself to make something in that time, and stopping once it's up?

Post by: Peppermint Pig on October 10, 2006, 12:19:05 pm: Sorry, but it caught my eye.

Might want to make that a rule if you're serious about it, or perhaps set up year-by-year locked archives.
