Pixel Art / First Attemp In This Style
« on: November 09, 2010, 07:20:20 am »
I am new in this forum so I say hello to its other members and lovers of pixelart and/or art in any of it's myriad of styles.

I created a 12 icon set of various old nostalgic icons in pixelart style. I did this a long time ago but I updated it slightly now. The set is in 32 x 32 pixels size only. It is made with a limited palette of colors following the pixelart style.

Some of the icons have a 4 bit (16 color) format also that is just slightly different but even if all of them have a 8 bit (256 colors) format too the palette of colors used was limited on purpose to only a few colors for the old school look.

All the Mac icons have also a black & white only version inside the .icns file cause the Mac format saving forces it but these are simplified versions, they are not as elaborate as the 8 bit images but they are clean cause I processed them one by one by hand like the color images.

This is the first time I publish icons in pixelart style, I don’t have that much experience in the style cause I only did a little of it many, many years ago when I was learning computers in my old PC junior computer.

I have learned a bit more about it by now but these are very old so please don’t expect perfection cause I only updated them slightly instead of creating them from scratch.

I created a zip file that has Windows, Mac, Png and Gif versions. The alpha transparency is just one value for the sake of this particular pixelart style (full alpha) as you already know with no intermediate alpha values like the icons I usually publish, that is why they translate easily into Gif format with no problems.

You can download them for free in one my two places at Deviantart or Mediafire together with any of the other freebies that I have there like some other icon sets (not pixelart style), a few wallpapers, a few paper models, a free 270 page e-book with many illustrations that teaches how to create 3D paper models with the Blender 3D software (and this e-book is available in two versions, a high res and a low res version), etc.

This is all free, no strings attached, yours for the taking, seriously.

These are the addresses:

You can modify the icons at least for your own personal use. I hope that you like them. Remember it just really a first try in 32 x 32 pixels icons size with a very limited palette.
