Erm, hi all! I tried to do http://storage8.static.itmages.ru/i/11/0804/h_1312464113_3bf7d1d4b5.jpeg - my regular avatar in pixelart. Here is what I can call a semi-successful draft:   The second image is merely an expanded "palette swap" of the monochrome attempt. Drawn in GIMP, because GrafX2 cannot display SVG lines above pixels. -.- Decided to try the http://ptoing.net/aa.png - Scientific Anti-Alias method by Ptoing I saw in Noobtorials (thanks for posting it there, cure!), so used the curves as the guidelines. This method appeared to be quite convenient with five colours.  No tomfoolery, I assure you. =) It's just that I cannot imagine a better honest method of transforming vector art into pixelart, and I am no pen-and-paintbrush master. I'm still a bit puzzled about the AA quality, especially in the "stingtail" at the bottom of the symbol. Spent twenty minutes pushing and popping pixels there, but I still think there is something I missed. Could you give me some impressions of yours, please? |
