Hello
![]() I feel very ignorant, but I just recently found out about vector graphics. I guess I always KNEW about them, it's just I never really thought about it. I have only read a couple (articles?) on vector vs raster graphics, and they both seem very biased towards vector graphics. I feel like there's another side to this, and was wondering why you, a pixel artist, decide to do what you do as opposed to vector graphics, which are more smooth and seem to be more commonly used. Thank you, another noob. |

Nostalgia for the graphics of game generations gone by.
The artistic challenge of working with a limited palette or canvas and controlling everything about the work on the pixel level. Because it’s fun. ![]() |

Could be due to technical issues, atleast it is for me. I use Flash Actionscript 2.0 for creating games as a hobby... which isn't exactly the greatest when it comes to being optomised. So having Flash work out a series of rectangles of colour 'bitmap', is a lot less processor hungry than working out all the little marks and lines for a single image.

Yeah, honestly, I'd probably be doing vector graphics, but my programmer said something about how it has to be raster, so I'm sticking with it

I actively work in both Raster and Vector images. However, my choice of working with one over the other depends on my content matter, and the output. Basically, photography, or anything that needs to be resized, skewed, shifted, turned from 2D perspective to 3D, etc, and print work I all do with Vectors. Roughly everything else is done with Raster. There are occasions I'll find myself working in Photoshop with both Raster and Vectors, but that's usually because only a small portion of my work was limited by what a Raster graphic can do/be manipulated to do, so I'll through that little bit of Vector work in to make up for it.
