Hello there im phil, from N Ireland 23 and graphic designer doing a degree in graphic design.

any way been intrested in pixel art for a while but never got my ass into gear to do something so, a uni project came along basicly a port folio in power point so the idea is

a pixel art city or a few streets and each building will be a link to part of my portfolio, ie personal, cv, uni portfolio, out of uni stuff (paid stuff)

heres what i have done so far, took me 2 days to get this far, still learning the basics but u get the idea

http://www.euro-fiesta.com/upload/uploaded/building2.bmp - http://www.euro-fiesta.com/upload/uploaded/building2.bmp

doing the basic thing in ms paint but will cut and paste stuff useing photoshop into powerpoint so each building is a dif layer and also a button that is a link.

trying to do it less cartoon/collorfull i want to try and get it a bit dark and real looking.

what u guys think? ill be keeping u updated every few days of my work.

any tips? or hints? or ideas even?

thanks phil

ditto

add some more to it so we have some idea of where you're going with it. Right now, it just looks like a rough outline with no real plan of the vision in mind
