General Discussion / Black borders
« on: September 04, 2007, 06:25:55 pm »
So, I've seen many pixel arts in my day, and one things that is fairly inconsistent is the block border around the sprites. Does it all boil down to artists choice? Or is a black border a clear sign of a beginning pixel artist?
It might even be totally dependent on what look you're going for. If you're doing sprite work for games, you might not want your character sprites to blend in with the background, so you add that black border to make sure you can always clearly see the characters. And in a piece of pixel art, I'd assume that a black border wouldn't really be necessary.
Can anyone fill me in on the rule of the black border?

Ah, thank you much Turbo! This'll cut down the work I need to do on some pieces.
I'll try to make something that's presentable to show off, though you shouldn't get your hopes up.

Thank you very much Sherman! I was starting to get worried that no one was gonna help me .
Well, on to more pixeling.

General Discussion / A couple of questions about GraphicsGale
« on: July 05, 2007, 02:26:41 am »
1. Is there a place where I can get new pen shapes and sizes for GraphicsGale? By default the only square pens are 1x1, 9x9, and frickin' hugexfrickin' huge.
2. This is the first pixel art program I've used. All my current works have been created on GraphicsGale. Is there a better program out there that I should be using?
3. I keep hearing a lot of talk about colour selection being a big part of good pixel art. Is GraphicsGales default palette good enough? Or do I need to go through and edit it?
That's all for now. Thanks for all the help you may offer!

Hey all! I've been a big fan of pixel art for years now. I just recently started creating my own pixely stuff, but it's all pretty bad since I just started 
.
I found out about these forums yesterday, and seeing the work that's been done is simply astounding. I was browsing through the Assembly Line thread, and it was very inspiring to see that one person could create something so amazing. Every ship that I saw was extremely well made. I was unsure of myself and my abilities to create great pixel works when I started, but after seeing what regular people are capable of given the time and the desire to create, it really gave me a moral boost! So hopefully, in time, my pixel work will become something to talk about. Right now it's pretty shoddy, but I suppose I can post my current works in a showcase thread. At the very least it'll be a nice change up. Instead of people needing serious C&C on the work, we could all just poke fun at my poor style!
Anyways, I hope my stay here will be a long one. I don't really have a good track record with staying faithful to forums. Typically I run out of interest on all forums within a few months, but this forum is relevant to a goal of mine, so that should keep me hooked for a while at least. I look forward to getting to know all of you!
