I was debating whether or not this really fitted in here but art is art.

I love pixel art, working to limitations, tiny image sizes, four colour palettes. I drew my signature earlier today, original 200 x 100 blown up to double size for the sig.

Here's a little night scene I did last night. orignally 70 x 50 blown up 4x.

Also, here are some 320 x 240 backgrounds from my now defunct adventure game. All use 16 colour palettes (I think).

I love isometric stuff. I did try and start some huge image like that, I got about three buildingds in and lost interest.

How could I not do my jaguar:

1x

3x

10 colours. The sunburst is too far out because I'm too lazy to redo the dithering. Palette shown in the botton left corner.

Edit: since Im reet bored, heres a avatar sized crop just in case anyone wants to use it or something.

Sweet, how did you do that?

took a photo.
opened it in photoshop.
sized to 100 x 150.
traced it with the pencil tool.
decided on my 10 colours.
colored it in.
dithered the sunburst.

done!

it was alot easier than stuff like the sunset scene in my sig since I just had to trace something.

I had to do a whole cityscape for an art class once. It was insane and took nearly a week. I'm never messing with pixel art again.
