PM's General Spriting topic

[Gors]

For one, yes wikipedia is right about pixelart. But you missed what I said. He doesn't dumb down the vector to pixels, he can make the pixels with his program. So stop acting like you know what he is using, you obviously don't. None of these are vector generated. Pixelart isn't only made with select programs, anything can make pixelart. Also if you read anything else on this topic than you'd know that he already went through the wikipedia. Which he explained in a wall of text. which I will not qoute.

and since I praised him for his work I'm apparently sucking his dick?

You sir need to grow up and try harder to keep good work on this forum.

since you're so dense about this, I'll just try again for the last time.

all you see in this screen is made of pixels. But that doesn't make everything in this screen pixelart. Why?

Because they were generated by something else. The guy who did the font, for example, didn't take time to carefully place each single pixel of the letter. The banners in every site are made of pixels but aren't considered pixelart because the guy who made them didn't place all the pixels individually in a sensible way to create the work.

So, Pixelart is a kind of art where you place each pixel to form a coherent imagery, as seen here



where the effects, lineart and shading were all made by the pixelartist through pixels.

Now, I highly doubt that OP took the time to use more than 30 colors per frame in each animation all by himself. It's obvious when it is pixelart and when it isn't.

Pixelart is a branch of digital art, but not every digital art is pixelart.
