Introductions

[rezz]

Hello there, I'm rezz, aka Ben Silverman. For probably 4-5 years now I've been trying to get into pixel art, viewing thousands of other artists' work, but feeling too intimidated to try anything. I've been lurking this site for probably a year now and I just joined because I want to start somewhere and I think with the critiques and help of others I can get that start I've always wanted. I've tried pixeling various things in the past but nothing ever really turned out even slightly how I wanted them to, so I'm hoping to really get a fresh start. This site has always been great and I think I'll be around quite a lot!

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!

Howdy. New here. I work in the games industry and freelance as an illustrator. UI, editorial, tees, comics, etc. Most of my work, even my illustration stuff, is limited color. I tend to use 5-6 spots in all my work and "dither" with volumetric halftones ala the following image:



As a result, I find I like to tinker with pixelart and hope to come here to share and improve, mostly for the fun of it.

Welcome Ray. Saw your images on flicker ( http://flickr.com/photos/rayfrenden ), great stuff. Cool to have you here. I'm looking forward to your pixel stuff.

[Ray Frenden]

Thanks - looking forward to make more pixelstuff!

heh, i knew your style was familiar - saw it on threadless.


welcome everyone.

Hello, I am Medri Fogmatio.

I recently left Pixeltendo to pursue a better spriting and artistic path instead of one that lingers of 4chan, n00bs, and unoriginality. 

I have only delt with Sprites in my past, Pixelart isn't what I am very good at, however.  I am not one to merely give up due to just that.

I hope that I can become an active member of Pixelation.

Hey everyone, if you remember me, , if not, that's fine.
I decided I wanted to try and get back in the pixel scene, and I remembered pixelation, so, yeah.

I'm Matt Rundle. I'm 18. I've been pixeling the past few years, but not a lot. I'm trying to pick it up.

Some of my stuff:


halfdone adventure game art, from last year.




and the game I'm ostensibly working on at the moment.

I'm a student programmer. I don't really know how to make games yet, but it's what I'd like to do.
