Devlogs & Projects / READ FIRST! - Introduction to the new section
« on: January 06, 2016, 09:02:48 am »
Pixelation has had a pretty long history. During some of the most active times, the strong sense of community was due to there being an external purpose it was ultimately driving towards. Back then, it was almost an academy of sorts which you would graduate from and get your first industry jobs at a major company. Today, there are still a number of pixel projects here and there with significant funding and even one or two small companies keeping it alive, but as an industry pixel art has died off. That's not to say it's dead entirely. Where it lives on is in the indie game space. Art is great for art's sake, but pixel art has always been a bit more about *applied* art. To give pixelation a sense of purpose back, we want to embrace the mediums where pixel art still thrives.
Here you can post your Game Dev or other projects for critique and feedback. This includes tools, animation projects, sketchbooks, etc.

- Only one thread per project allowed, multiple threads for the same project will be locked or merged.
- We strongly suggest that projects are pixel-art related, but it won't be enforced.

2D & 3D / UPDATE: Now accepting all mediums
« on: January 06, 2016, 08:19:35 am »
While this forum has and always will be focused on the art of making the most out of technical restrictions, we've decided to open this forum to all art mediums; Low and high fidelity alike. We suspect that a lot of threads will still focus on low-spec due to the specialties/skills of our user-base, but there are a lot of great creative works scattered throughout the forums in various threads and posts that we'd like to consolidate and embrace.
Low-Spec has been a fairly inactive forum, so we're hoping this move might spark more interest and activity. At the same time this helps us clean up our forums a bit and make things easier to find. "General & Creativity" is now simply "General Discussion", and any art threads from there will be brought here.
As usual, the purpose of this board is to receive critique and constructive feedback on your work. It is not a place for self promotion or show and tell.

General Discussion / Lets talk about the dress
« on: February 27, 2015, 08:40:42 pm »
Okay, so you guys have probably seen this all over the internet by now. I thought this would be easily explainable through color contrast theory. But try as I might, I simply cannot get myself to see the black and blue. I've tried dumping it into Photoshop to change the background color, change the exposure, inverse the colors, absolutely everything I can think of - but I still can only see the dress and white and gold.
If you're not familiar with what I'm talking about, it's all about this dress:
Some people absolutely see this dress and black and blue, and others see it as absolutely white and gold. I'm in the latter camp.
If you don't believe me that this is even a debate, it's even on CNN
http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/26/us/blue-black-white-gold-dress/
So three questions:

So three questions:
- What colors do you see
- Why are we perceiving them differently
- Is it possible to reverse how we percieve it
