So basically, I was bored and had nothing to do,soooo
It was around 2003 or less I dunno, around August methinks. While i was playing on my GBA SP I wanted to make on of those characters, (I didn't know what sprites were back then), so I went on meh computer and eye traced a SMB2 Luigi, Ugh I did it horridly http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m102/Josiahiouigi/1luigifan-1.png link to it, see how I used MSPaint default colors.
Anyway after that sprite i decided to make more and more, by eyetracing, but usually id make terrible backgrounds and resize that Luigi and put him in it, also I made terrible comics, but I wish i still had them, ;_;
And so after awhile of this, one of my freinds got SMW for the GBA, I wanted it so i traded another game for it, so then I started to eye trace the smw mario, but it looked ugly since they had no shading, so i decided to start shading. So then after awhile I started getting better and better, then later so on I started making custom sprites, (which I still have and keep)
So then after a bit more custom spriting I decided to join the internet, looking back at the first few subbmissions I did for MFGG, I think that they are horrid now, anyway later as time went on I discovered this place, then after looking in the Hall of Fame I realized how amazing pixelart can be. So after time and time again I got better and better, with help along the way.
Well thats all what got me started on pixeling. ![]()
Also don't think I'm not making any pixelart at the moment ;)
