Working on more pixel art
This time I'm using an old program called Deluxe Paint. As far as I know this program is used for many old games.
I really like it, but it can also be really frustrating sometimes xD You can only undo one thing at a time.

WIP1(worked for about 10 hours on it already):


I'll upload better quality once it's finished.

EDIT: oops.. accidentally posted this in the GIMP Art section xD

Cool The experience just isn't the same without a CRT curvy-screen monitor.

Indeed Plus these monitors have better colors and contrasts.

Wow, that's amazing!

...and a little hamster strapped to a wheel that's chasing a nut tied to a stick he'll never reach. The good ole days.

I have a few brain cells left that remember the ol' bitmap days. Have to take this one out for a spin every so often (converted of course; original long gone. Made back in 1993). Posted at link below. Also, not sure if you ever delved into doing ANSI art BaukjeSpirit.

I have never tried ANSI art, it's typography in pixel art style right? Though I really want to try try it someday!

And those are some nice pixel art scenes! I don't think I've ever seen something different of you than filter work.. you should do more pixel art!

A nice result BaukjeSpirit! Nice classical pixely-feel.

I owned both Deluxe Paint IV and V on the Amiga back in the day. These programs were in fact my very first experiences of computer art. You usually worked with 32 colours, but if you used "halfbrite" mode, you could get 64. Halfbrite was some sort of clever hardware hack on the Amiga to allow you to use one extra dark shades per "real" colour - so 32 "real" colours plus 32 shaded versions of those = 64. It was really amazing at the time. I should look around to see if I can find any of those old images.

Deluxe Paint had a really nice and easy to use animation feature. I remember making an action animation in that system (every single frame drawn manually of course). This was inspired by the old Amiga classic game "Syndicate". The animation started with a man smoking a cigarette in a street corner. Another person in a coat appears. The first man looks surprised. His fear is warranted as the newcomer pulls out a shotgun and shoots the first guy. Yeah, I was very proud over making that. I seem to recall the characters were both very ugly. And it was of course in 300x200 resolution (or was it 600x400? No, probably not enough RAM for that at the time).

Looks nice! :3
