Holy crap, sedge actually posted something. It feels like ages. XD

And does anyone know any good music making programs out there? I'd like to remind everyone that I'm flat broke, so FREE is highly preferred. XD

Also, just to show you people that I have haven't been completely slacking off, here's something I made. ^_^

Ok, well, in all technicality what I made can no longer be seen. BlackDragon was kind enough to do a 'quick little edit' and bury my pixels in shame under his awesomeness. But my point remains valid, I have been pixeling lately. ^_^

(This is the piece I was talking about in the challenge thread, I started this just a few days before the challenge was actually posted. Freaky.) XD


Double double cough. :3

I just joined recently and thought I'd introduce myself.  I'm from SE Michigan and am older than I like to think about.  I'm a computer systems analyst for one of the Big Three auto makers.
 
I used to do a lot of pixel stuff back in the early 90s when I did a lot of MS Windows icons and ANSI graphics (which is like macro-pixels I guess).  Anyway, I'm trying to get back into it and try to improve my stuff.  I'm already learning a lot by looking at what has been posted here and reading tutorials and I'm starting to post things for CC so that I can see what I'm doing wrong/right.  So, hi... I look forward to contributing and picking up a lot of pointers.  Thanks,

I am Anubis. I've been part of Pixeljoint for a few years(under a different name) I never really submitted much art until now, and this is my first time posting in the forums. Streaming in a lot of pixels at the moment, so make sure you get a peek! I have many friends who go here, so I've already felt welcomed, just never properly introduced myself.

:waves at all the new people and the not-so-new people:

Soo... yeah! I just joined today so I figure I should introduce myself!
My name is Hazel, 21 and I've been pixelling for quite some time now. Mostly, I've done pixel dolls (quite a number of the more recent ones qualify as pixel art, though... I only categorize them as dolls out of habit :P).

I've been lurking around pixeljoint for some time now and, right now, I have no idea what to do now that I've actually joined the community. (except pixel. That I certainly will do.)

Hey, just signed up, so I figured I'd introduce myself! I'm Perihelion. 18, female, MIT freshman originally from Atlanta, GA. Think I'm going to major in electrical engineering and comp sci, but that could change. I'm a huge nerd, and my interests beyond pixeling include reading (mostly hard SF and a bit of historical or dark fantasy), creative writing, art of other forms, video games, etc. I originally started pixeling for the purpose of game-making, although I've grown beyond that since I started. I harbor (vain) hopes of someday making a cool science fiction game about collectivized superintelligences.

Anyway, nice to meet you guys, and I hope to make lots of pixels while I'm here!

Welcome LadyHazy and Perihelion!  I found that the best way to get into the swing here is to jump in on the weekly challenge... post your drafts in the WIP, get comments, make changes, and post the final to see what happens!  I sometimes have a loss for what to draw and the challenges give me a direction... fun stuff.  Anyway, welcome again.

Hey, i'm Exquisious, (although that's not my real name), I'm english and I live in the U.s.

I learned to like pixeling when I started spriting over at the GMC. Most of my strong points are pixeling small, around the dimentions of 32x32 - 100x100.

I hope to get better at pixeling large and meeting new friends here at Pj =)

i can't remember if i was in this forum oh well
 
i'm tiffany, and i reside in atlanta, ga. i'm going to school for visual communications and looking forward to web design.
 
i love being creative and i love drawing pixel art because it gives me a challenge. i'm also working on doing some vector art as well. i would love to do landscape in pixel; much like in NES or sega before the whole 3D craze. people say to me you can't make money with art but i highly doubt it. i like to be a graphic designer after graduation (sorry if this sound long, but i rarely talk about myself)
 
i hope to make some friends on here, as well as get some great advice from veterans. i'm pretty sure there are jobs for freelance artists in any fields lol. it's tough when you're trying to achieve goals but have people breathing down your neck.

Hello everyone. I'm Antifarea, I have been spriting from scratch since january 2009. I have joined first pixelation aka way of the pixel how I always call it lol. Then I decided to join here, I didn't know you guys had any relationship with each other heh, but after taking a look around I see some of the same mods and administrators there have a history here.

Isometric looks nice, but I'm not interested at all in making anything isometric, other than learning how to do it. I'm more interested also in making game art resources, mostly for rpgs since I deal a lot with programs like rpgmaker, mugen, etc...  so my main interest to get better is to not only become a proffesional, but because I need it for my projects and of course, for the big plans I got for later on.

Nice to meet you.

Greetings..

I thought I would say hello.. Hopefully I am not the oldest female here 27, from Australia.. I like mudcake, games, art, beer and everything in between and outside of that.. I studied animation (you know the old cel drawn stuff) I am currently part way through my bachelor of arts and like to give every thing a try. I have always had a computer and games. I do everything from make miniatures to painting and digital work.

Recently a friend said he would send his flash game book over to me so that should be here soon. I thought about it for a while and decided that I would rather learn how to make my own pixel art than use vectors for the games..

Uhm.. There are links in my profile if you want to have a look at what I do in general..


Yes, I play wow.

I discovered pixealrt years ago (C64, Amiga) as a kid but never tried to do it myself (althought I always liked to draw) as I thought these pretty pretty stuff is somehow... programmed? (silly huh? ) So I discovered the truth about pixelart much later... and here I am. I have motivation but I lack time so dont expect too fast progress from me ;)

Wow, I just realized I never posted in the forums until very recentlly! Hi guys! I've been here for a couple years, but I was always very keeping to myself and not very active. Haha, I'm trying to fix that now since I'm a lot more outgoing than I was (and I'm getting back into pixels since I finally have time to pixel again!...kinda. Okay, I don't actually have time, but I just had to get back into it!)

I'm Dai, and I've been pixelling since 2004, when I got into pixel dolls. It didn't take me long after that to get interested in spriting and doing a lot more pixels from scratch, and trying to seriously improve my skills. I've also started and dropped a lot of game projects, a habit I'm desparately trying to lose. ;P

Haven't yet had the guts to ever try one of the challenges. Was hoping that this week upon my return there'd be one that wouldn't scare me. =P I'm very bad with limited palettes! Still, I think I'm gonna give it a shot (if I don't chicken out...)!
