Pixel Art

Sat Jun 27, 2009, 10:51 PM
It wasn't until lately that i have been getting some flack for my MegaMan 2 pixel art pieces. I was told that it looked like i just used stock sprites which is COMPLETELY wrong.

I was not going to reveal my secret until later, but it looks like i am being forced to in order to keep my respect of my fellow artists.

The program i used to make these prints was Microsoft Excel. I know i know, there are easier programs but i felt that Excel could give me the Vectors i needed to print the pictures without ANY distortion.

Well how do i do it you ask? Well it's simple yet hard. I would resize all the cells to about 15 pixels in size...both horizontally and vertically. Once that is done, i would select a cell and rick click, then properties, and then fill background color and BOOM...my first pixel.

I went and painstakingly recreated all these scenes pixel for pixel. Each panel took me over 4 hours to do.

In retrospect, i worked in blocks of 16...and there are 16 blocks of 16 blocks in all directions...so it was over 65,000 individual cells per PANEL...and there are 9.

I hope this shows how more impressive my work is. I am open for free commissions more or less. Give me a Nintendo scene you want worked on and i will. I won't send you a hard copy but i'll notify you when it's done and you can download it, lol, i'm just out of ideas.
