Some of you may already know Hayo Van Reek, personally I think he is an amazing artist. He has recently created an online portfolio that just takes my breath away. http://www.hayovanreek.nl - have a look at the art section and there is loads of pixel art. What do you think of it? - maybe he should write a tutorial or something

that site is nothing to write home about, a bit bland. he has a few
nice pieces in there, but nothing that takes my breath away. btw this should be moved to diversions. |

I do pixel a little but i havn't done so for some time might have some trouble seeing it on a low-contrast monitor lol (its also a bit pillow shaded in places ICK, but like I said: I did it some time ago, the lineart is good, but I don't like the back leg, its too short) Can't say the welcome has been too nice here, why would I recommend it? I guess I set myself up for it. Edited by MoonDemon |

I do like the dragon, good dithering, etc. but it needs some more perspective.

I actually agree my site is not something to write home about...tis
just my portfolio for the art academy I am on, and my pixelart is
pretty mediocre compared to the great stuff here. Maybe I will hang around and try to get better at it.

Well I think your work is something to talk about hayo, it might not be amazing in its detail or number of colours (the bernard and hank stuff anyway) but it suits its application perfectly. Really I see no point in pixel art unless your creation is going to serve a purpose, the dragon was more of a dither practice than anything useful, but still pointless Thanks for the welcome, hope that was more of an official (yet contraversial) introduction Edited by MoonDemon |

Pixel art should serve a purpose? l'art pour l'art?

art for art is the most important thing on this forum i think. it's more fun to make lots of varied things then 2 dozens of sprite sheets.

It really depends on my mood. Ive enjoyed working on stuff for Nial, and I've liked doing independent scenes too.

Most of my pixelart is graphics for some kind of game project. Game creation gives me enough motives to pixel. Too bad that almost nothing is in game yet...

Originally posted by Shark freelancing is great, it means you dont have to think about what to pixel. i havent pixelled for fun for months now :( I seem to be doing at least one piece a day now [even if they are small]. I'm starting to get into freelancing, it doesn't seem to have the appeal as creating something from nothing, but it doesn't seem like it could be too bad, besides. pixels never get old :) |

i have ideas, time to some extent, but usually i get bored after making 15 animations per sprite. and my selfdiscipline is about 0.1/100 should train on getting that higher >.>
