General Discussion / 8-bit Lexicon
« on: August 26, 2013, 05:10:02 am »
Hello, I'm not a pixel artist, but I've always loved the idea of low-spec pixel art.  I am interested in the conveyance of ideas in the form of symbols, especially with a very minimum of information.  I just so happen to be in a place where I need to tackle a programming project, something interesting and interactive using these ideas.

I'm envisioning creating a crowd sourced lexicon of game tiles.  At first I figured I would start by allowing people to draw and generate noise using a single color from a 16 color palette on an 8x8 grid.  Then that would enter a database and there would be some sort of gameified incentive for people to label those tiles with an idea of what it is they are looking at.

My idea for the end result would be a database containing a dictionary with lexical (idea) relationships between tiles, all based on a lexical dictionary that exists already free to use.  Then I would love to slowly up the resolution and colors and be able to build off of those low spec tiles and just see what develops.

I'm posting because I can have some quite off-the-wall ideas, and I was curious if there would actually be any interest in using such a thing, or accessing a database like that.  Or if anybody had any other angles on it that I might want to consider.

Pixel Art / It's been a long time...
« on: February 02, 2011, 04:12:28 pm »
It's been a long time since I've been here, mostly I've been a lurker.  I was in the mood yesterday and pixelled this.  Right now I only have access to upload a prescaled version.

First of all, can you tell what it's supposed to be?  Second, any suggestions on improving it as far as rough draft type of things, not necessarily AA or dithering, yet.

Pixel Art / Friendly Alien Guy
« on: December 29, 2006, 01:29:47 am »
Okay, my first thing to C&C.  I should've been working on my avatar, but after pixeling it I was burned out on it.

So, this is my alien guy.  I think my AA is a bit sloppy, need more practice.  Let me know what you all think.
