Hi, i don't normally do this, but i made some Pixel Art over the summer for a (girl)friends birthday, which we supersized in kinko's, lol.

So here's the Pixel Art I made for her and later I made for myself

*edit* these were made in Microsoft Paint and each of them took an hour to make (sorry I did not mention this earlier, i had my head in the clouds).

*removed, lost it on facebook*

Nice! I've been wanting to make my own pixel art but I just don't have the time or patience for it. I'm not good at drawing but I know there are some free software that actually guide you. I love pixel art.

Not to brag or anything, it actually took me an hour per pic, maybe if i have more time i can help you out with yours, if you like.

Looks pretty cool! Great work. I remember dabbing into Image -> Pixel converter software a few years ago. In fact, I used one to make the favicon (seen in Firefox/IE next to the 1emulation.com address) for 1emu. Although, I need to fix it, as it's no longer showing it after our upgrade.

I've used that once seemed to have issues with getting it to show IE back then, to fix the favicon all you would need to do is replace the IPB favicon with the 1emulation favicon from previous back ups you might have.

Well i should have mentioned this before and im sorry for not saying it earlier, I did not use any kind of editing software other than Microsoft Paint, the one before Windows 7 as the one on Window 7 are alittle odd and the brushes are crappy.

is pixel art just what you do on microsoft paint or something? or does it just have to look like an NES game?

Well it's possible to do more than NES 8-bit style artwork on Microsoft paint. Infact, it's really all about how detailed you get with ms paint. Also, when you zoom into a photo those bits of blocks you see scattered all around the photo are exactly what makes up your pictures, just everything is more zoomed out which makes it look more detailed.

In these pixel art photos I zoomed into the blocks to capture that Nes Affect in order to present my idea better about the picture i was trying to make. IMO, the best way to learn how to draw in microsoft paint is to immitate things and other objects that you find interests in. For instance, you can start small by zooming or finding a zoom level that best suits your needs for that specific object or person you may be trying to immitate.

Nice! I've always thought pixel art was cool. I had a friend that was really into it but I've never been good myself. He used to draw crazy gundam-like robots in paint a lot.

does something like this count, or no?

That's art alright, but I think it's too detailed to be considered pixel art. I think you're right with the NES thing. If it looks like an old game, where you can litterally count the squares that make it up, it's pixel art. If it's detailed like yours, then it's, well, a cartoon that happened to be drawn in MS Paint. Snow Patrol's look like they belong in Maniac Mansion.

That's definately art, and its detailed. Like The-Ice-Man said it's very detailed to be considered pixel art, if you were to zoom in and tried to immitate this photo in the most basic way with Squares that would be Pixel Art. However, you did a good job drawing that pic, it looks very cool.

hehe how bout this. i know it's not pixel art, but I saw it when I was on my photobucket.

Here's another one i made today, this one took me an hour and 15mins, because of the text.



I admit, this was a rush job, but i hope you guys like it anyway.

Nice.

I wonder how long it would have taken if you had drew his ugly hair style hahah

MS paint would crash if i did that

Heres another one inspired by Hera's Sig

This one only took 37mins, which isn't bad for what it is. Enjoy!

Nice job!

Picture fail! :/

Yeah, i'd figure since no one really cared, i'd delete it off anyway.

^ Doesn't know that I care. <3

I liked it.

Okay, I will add it back in like 5hrs from now, i must get some sleep.

In addition to that I will do something creative around the weekend, if not by monday. But it just might be the last one.


Alright, I added them back, but i seem to have lost my first one on facebook, i really dont wanna go through the hassle of uploading it onto my wall, having my friend wonder why i uploaded her.
