Well, PM has a preview which you can animate as well and zoom in and resize. You just can't draw when you play back, which I do not see as a massive drawback. Could always ask Jan to implement that tho, I guess.
There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.

Yeah, the animation preview is something you learn to love pretty fast.

Didn't know about the shortcuts though! Thanks.
"Baboy" is Filipino for pig.

This has been bothering me for a while.

Every once in a while, I have a reason to try and create "custom brushes" in GraphicsGale. Though I assume it's possible (Using the Reload Pen/Tile button in the palette's dropdown menu) I've never actually been able to get it to function. I was trying to make a tile that's pure black (so it paints with the second colour, not the first) and a widepixel pen (brush) but totally failed at both and either.

P.S. apparently setting paint mode to "Clear" is the eraser in graphicsgale O-o

The whole idea of an ereaser has become sort of a thing of the past for me, since Ggale. Sometimes when you erease you want it to use the transparent color of the layer...and sometimes you just want to use a darker color of the material you're drawing on....I find it annoying to have an ereaser that makes that choice for you, I prefer to pick em by myself.

Now, about the PEN thing...why is it not working? I'm always making random brusher for myself with Ggale.
-make a new folder inside the ggale folder called PEN
-make a new 1bpp BMP inside this folder, that is 32x32 pixels of size.
-use black as the transparent color, and white as the color of your brush.
-save the bmp
-go to the palette's dropdown menu, and clik Reload Pen/Tile
-The new brushes will appear after the preset ones in a completely random order...I've never been able to figure out what determines their order.

An interesting link, figured someone might enjoy it. I especially like the the Rubix cube pixel art and the picture by Chiho Aoshima (despite it not really being pixel art). Also noticed alot of isometric stuff...
It's odd to me but it seems when someone says pixel art people automatically assume it to be the isometric variety. Atleast in my experiences.

yes, apparently this has the "pixel-art-look" simply because it's in isometric perspective... :sry:
