Topic: My Star Wars Collection...
Posted: 03 October 2007 at 12:11pm

I'm new to this forum, but a HUGE fan of pixel-art and have been dabbling in producing some of my own for the last few years.

Anyway, I recently completed my Star Wars Action-figure collection and created this online gallery to showcase them all.

http://www.joshuabudich.com/SWCollection

Check it out. Tell me what you think.

thanks!

It looks nice. Don't take this the wrong way but Star Wars/Star Trek fans usually creep me out... a bit. But as long as you're happy it really shouldn't matter what I think. Whatever floats your boat, and keep doing it.

well when you save as jpg we can't see any of the details and delicious pixels. So save as png and we'll be able to give a response more in depth than : wow there's a lot of them.

sounds good...the GIF in the actual Flash piece aren't missing any of their detail...you can zoom in forever and the icons still look awesome...

I loves me the pixel art! :)

thanks!

I'd love to zoom in on these but you JPG'ed them and the colors are all messed up... do you still have the original copy without color loss?

if you right-click on the Flash piece (the SWF on my website), you can "Zoom In" w/out any loss of quality...the image are GIFs, not JPGs, and each one was saved with all the colors intact...

Am I missing something with all these comments about JPG'ing...???

It's just that the image you posted here isn't clear and it would be nice to see the image by itself losslessly instead of having to go through a flash movie. The forum has a zoom function as well (click the image to zoom, shift+click to zoom out), so posting images here in full quality is generally the way to go.

Woah, there are loads of them! The individual ones are quite simple but they're clean and well done. I'm sure you'd get a lot of recognition for these on a star wars forum. Great job! :P

Man that image is almost irrelevant on this site. Yes its cool pixelart all together but the coding/navigation is what is worth seeing.

*the CG art is good too.
