There are real people who really have a hard time speaking English, clearly you are not one of them. Now one likes an attention whore. 

And welcome.

Hello? Hey, I'm new. You can just call me C7. I'm basically a very bad pixel artist, but I'm hoping to improve... 

Hi!
Post your stuff in the wip forums, and we can help you improve :D
Welcome on PJ

Hello everyone!

Well, I'm Mike I'm nineteen, Irish and I'm a university student. I study computer multimedia and software development, as a result of this I use photoshop a lot and became a bit bored of the usual art types we were doing, so recently I got into pixel art, and I adore it, I find it nice and relaxing and even started a few pixel city threads on other forums I went to, but sadly not enough people were interested, so I joined here seeing as everyone on this site loves pixels.

Anyway, I'll hush up now. :)

Nice to meet you all.

Hi I'm David, I'm 16 years old, this is my last year on this school. Next year I'm going to an other school where I'm going to learn how to work with music/video/photo editors like Photoshop :). I'm also hoping to improve my drawings there.

Hello and welcome to PJ.

Hello everyone, recently joined because i was blown away by some of the art here.  It's completely changed the way i look at computer graphics on a whole, and i would like to pick it up. I'm only interested in nonisometric art though.  I wish to colour and shade the pixel way i'm not sure how to really start though. Anyway I have some questions

why the pixel artists here limit themselves to a palette usually under 64 colours?

where can i find non isometric pixel art done without these limits

should i antialiase my line art outline? i notice many don't

Looking foward to meeting you guys, and my very first attempt at pixel art i would post in the WIP section where hopefully you guys can help me out :)

oh oh ok, i get it thanks.  Pixel artists are minimalist in thinking you can say no :)

I have 2 final questions b4 i get started.

What is/are the advantage(s) of doing pixelart shading as opposed to more 'modern' methods

I intend to use a third party line art for my first 'project' but it is fairly large probably around 500x300.  Should i first shrink it to the size i want it to (photoshop) then do the cleaning, colouring and shading with zoom? or should i do it at that size and then shrink final product.

Reason i ask this is because i notice when resize a sprite and make it smaller, photoshop automatically antialiases it, and then i have to sharpen it to get a resemblance of what it was.  Hmm i probably just answered my own question lol

oh by the way I'm male 25 from the warm caribbean  Republic of Trinidad  Tobago.  Nice to meet u

Salutations, i'm Nate. I just registered a day ago. I'm a video game/game system collector and I used to draw characters from games but now I draw my own characters and I also took an interest in the 8-bit graphics and the even yuckier graphics from the Atari age and I made sprites on my comuter like that but, now I make things more detailed with more colors. I also just submitted the first good-looking machine sprite I've made. |:|

Hi, I got nothing much to say except this greet.

Chess, your pic reminds me of someone i used to know. Although you don't really look like them. Eheh.

Hello all, I am fairly new here.  Just starting to get the hang of the site and all of the features.  Some great artists here!  I could spend hours looking through the galleries.

New guy here. My name is Paul Veer, though I use the nickname Pietepiet around the net. I'm a 20 year old Game Design & Development college student from the Netherlands.

Lately, I've not really been doing anything other than being lazy, so I figured joining this forum might get me off my ass to actually pixel something again.

Aside from pixel-art, I also love making games, drawing, watching movies, playing games. You know, the usual stuff.

TL;DR :  Hi, I'm new. I'm the stereotypical nerdy guy!

lol its paul

Hullo.

Hi guys, I am surthur , at least on the internet :o)

I am getting into pixelart  for the first time , since we ( I and John) are developing a "typical" asiaflavoured rpg with painted graphics (nearly) only.

We are not sure if it will be pure pixelart, maybe we will use also smooth brushes, especially for backgrounds. But I am here to learn and to get inspired :D   btw anyone who wants to join us (we need people for animation) and wants to work on a  project aiming for good quality( I want to use it for my careers portfolio)  is welcome to pm me :D

Oh btw I come from germany and was inspired by asian games and comics since about being 4 or 5 years old. had been a while *laughs* I am also interested in all sorts of mythology from all over the world,  science, egoshooters, creating music.... I guess we'll get along ^^/

:O!

Hello everyone! Great to join a great community as this, I just recently got into pixel art and such, and am still trying to improve to use it in games!

I've been using flash the past 5 1/2 years, and I hopes to get better with pixelmation! Hope I found the right spot to help improve! >:D

Heyy.
