pixeling since 1995. with longer breaks. quite active in demoscene, in the design-era of the late '90s and early 2000s. pixeling flame reignited in 2002, kinda pixeling on a daily basis ever since..
grewing up in a small town in the dark part of germany - far east, far away from C64s or other kinds of 1980s 8bit machines - i was more focused on climbing trees than restricted palettes. my first 'puter was capable of displaying 256 colors. also i am red/green color-blind. enough excused for my palettes =)
toolwise i've been using deluxe paint 2e for years, switched to the supreme grafx2.. tried promotion, but the zoom-function doesn't work for me. additionally some standart gfx-software for sketching things and retouching holiday-photos =)
studied civil engieering and am working as stress analyst, building physicist (and most recently radio tower inspector) in Dresden+Hamburg/Germany since 2003, though ppl are regularly trying to argue me out of this =)
yepp.. weekend warrior.

tomic @ 10/11/2009 3:42:07 AM commented on Krush World what noet said.. readabilty is tricky. the characters should stand out more - at least the same level as items imo. | |
tomic @ 10/11/2009 3:31:14 AM commented on oh no [+ sloppy dump] nice. for some reason though it cannot be displayed with IE - maybe re-save the png with another program. | |

tomic @ 10/9/2009 10:29:04 AM commented on graffiti name.. scufe you hit the nail ;D i've invested a few minutes in looking more closely on the picture than i was able to do at work recently.. ..with the conclusion that it's definately NOT saying "scufe".. something is very fishy here. p.s. you are tracking IPs here right? is it possible to you to check if this user is really from ireland or maybe.. germany? (where the another recent "MichaS" is from) | |
