Well I'm trying out some new forms of dithering in my pieces.

I'm trying to learn mainly some style dither like the one Ens used in this.

Yeah. Lately I've been messing around and it gives it this sort of rough scratched texture. :) I'll keep working on it.

It would be so cool to collect all the various examples of dithering in the gallery somewhere.

*BRONZE star for he/she who undertakes this project.
*SILVER star for he/she who undertakes this project and catalogs them with zooms.
*GOLD star for he/she who undertakes this project and catalogs them with zooms, plus gets artist approval for showcasing.
*TITANIUM star for he/she who undertakes this project and catalogs them with zooms, plus gets artist approval for showcasing AND creates custom brushes for downloading for several graphic software.


**PJ does not have titanium stars but if you do this one WILL be created.

That's a coloring metal tut.
I meant dithering styles.

*Raises hand* I will, I will!

I'm on it Jal. I've learned loads of it already from Pixelation.

Ew :P

Sure

Well I know paint already has ditherbrushes.

The problem with brushes that I make is that it doesn't leave the pattern. It looks like normal brushes. You have to click seperately each time.

Yeah. Like I know Paint has a ditherbrush mode But when I try a specific dither it doesn't get the pattern down right if you hold it down.

For those of you who want to ditherbrush MSPaint(Don't blame me)

Don't use it! It's a bad brush.

One more tip. Normally most people think that x8 is the highest zoom. But there's sort of a x10 glitch.

lots of dithering techniques can not be drawn with brushes..
also the best is to draw them by hand, so you can make them as dirty or as non dirty as possible.
Im working on an image where I show alot of dithering techniques, but you have to take it as a guide, you cant put everything in one image..
for example take helm's spartan: http://pixeljoint.com/pixelart/12082.htm#
you cannot exactly say what dithering techniques he had used, its all different.. you can say he uses alot of horizontal lines, but you can not descripe where the gaps will be..
so you can draw a brush with the stripes, but not with the gaps on the right place.
What im creating now is just a guide..

EDIT:
I think these are the most important ones, but feel free to add!

You mean the 10x zoom? I know it's there; I use it. I meant I was wondering if it was completely unintentional and a real bug/glitch, instead of an option they just decided not to include in the final version or something.

I don't think we're communicating very effectively. @(>_<)@
