General Discussion / Archiving Pixelation
« on: January 25, 2012, 12:58:36 am »
I've noticed that a lot of old threads here have broken images. That's really sad -- there is a lot of wisdom contained in these forums, and much of it seems to have been lost to the sands of time.

Does anyone have automatic archiving things going on Pixelation? If not, I might write one of my own.

Pixel Art / GB-style, 2-color tiny pixels
« on: January 20, 2012, 11:22:50 pm »
Trying some 2-color work to focus on individual pixels.



New to pixelling, and to drawing & art in general. Would like some C+C on readability and pixel placement :)

General Discussion / Color pickers and palette management
« on: January 14, 2012, 07:41:58 pm »
I'm writing a pixel editor, and I want to build a kickass color picker and palette tool. But I'm pretty noob at actually pixelling, so I don't have a great feel for what's important in those tools.

I remember seeing a colour picker somewhere in which you would choose a colour, and it would show you the colour plus a couple of shades lighter, darker, redder, bluer and greener, but I haven't been able to find it.

Some references I've collected: http://hslpicker.com/, http://www.colourlovers.com/colors/add, and some more crazy stuff like http://www.colorotate.org/. I collected some assorted screenshots and more references: http://nornagon.net/color-pickers.html

As for organising palettes, I haven't really seen anything more than a list of colours. Would it be helpful to be able to organise a palette into a set of ramps? Is it nicer to organise it in a freeform way, like or (from Helm and Arne on this thread http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=4306.0)?


How do you like to choose and organise your colours? Is there a particular tool you love to pieces? Is there something you wish you could do that nothing currently supports?

Ideas very welcome!

Pixel Art / [C+C] Character posing
« on: January 12, 2012, 07:26:14 am »
Hi pixelation,

By trade I'm a programmer, but I've always wished I could make art to go with my games. So: I'm starting. My approach has been to find a lot of the kinds of art that I'm interested in making, then copy the techniques I see and riff on them.

For example, I took the character on the left (not mine, and sadly I don't remember where I found him :() and reposed him into a neutral standing pose.


C+C? I have no idea what I'm doing :-)
