Onemorelevel Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Well, I would just like to know how many of you guys would like to have a pixel art forum. This isnt official of course, I am just wondering what the PdN community would like, and if we could persuade the mods to add a new pixel art tutorial sub forum. If you vote, I would appreciate if you answered these: Hidden Content: Have you made any pixel art before?Would you contribute with tutorials to the forum? Your level at pixel art?(Newbie,Beginner,advanced,expert) Additional comments(optional) Pixel art resources and tutorials: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=23132 http://pixeljoint.com/pixels/tutorials.asp?id=2252 http://pixeljoint.com/pixels/tutorials.asp?id=2253 What is pixel art? Hmm how to explain... Pixel art is working at art at a small scale, the rules are simple: You can only use the pencil tool, sometimes the fill bucket tool, but only for big pieces. NO EFFECTS. This means no blurring, no line tool, no feathering, Nothing but the pencil tool. An example of pixel art: Generally you want your pixel art to look 3d, but it all depends on your style. Before I finish writing this, I would like to repeat what I said: I'm not saying we are going to have a new pixel art sub-forum in the tutorials, this is just a poll to see what you would like, because i would like to know, maybe if the majority of people vote yes, we could get a mod to think about it. Also, I think this is the right part of the forum, its a discussion about paint.net and our forums, so move it if im wrong please. Discuss.

Curmudgeon Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 lol for someone that likes to point out that someone is breaking the forum rules, I must point you to rule #21 and I think there is already an image umbrella for pixel images in the Pictorium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onemorelevel Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 1) This isn't a useless poll, I would like to see the amount of people that would like it. 2) I know that, thats why I posted a link to it in my thread. Im talking about a tutorials subforum for it. You know, where they have creations, newbie playground,textures and stuff? They should have a pixel art one. Although, if a moderator does think that its useless, ill remove it, I would like to see though. Anyways, what polls arent useless.

Curmudgeon Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I guess the part about rule #21 didn't sink in, where it said polls should only be posted in the Overflow forum (AKA the Alfredo forum now) and if you really need an answer from someone, then my answer is no.

Onemorelevel Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Ah I see that, Sorry. Ill remove it. Quote "Being calm can work wonders" ~My gallery~D: Iceberg Tutorial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axle Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 pixel art tut's seem a bit hard don't they?? Quote My Deviant Art | My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onemorelevel Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Haha, no way, take for example, this one: http://pixeljoint.com/pixels/tutorials.asp?id=2252 Quote "Being calm can work wonders" ~My gallery~D: Iceberg Tutorial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 okay, i'm proven wrong but now that i looked at that i see what i did wrong with my milk carton to make it look compressed Quote My Deviant Art | My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flip Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I used to make games, so I'm a pixelartist. I'm not good at it at all, though. Pixel art doesn't have to be 3d. That's just the easiest style to learn, so most people can do it. Quote Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onemorelevel Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Yea, pixel art tuts arent so hard, I added one in the creations tuts. Quote "Being calm can work wonders" ~My gallery~D: Iceberg Tutorial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguba Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 This idea intrigues me. I can actually see this going somewhere. The idea of messing with pixel art pops up in my head every now and then, and I do find some interest in it. Tutorials or a dedicated sub-forum seem like the right way to go.

david.atwell Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 We're not an art forum. We're a support forum with an art subforum. We don't need an entire subforum just for pixel art; there's already an image umbrella in the Pictorium, and it's only slightly larger than the Interfaces umbrella. Use that. I believe I speak for Rick when I say: Not gonna happen. :-P Quote  The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 We're a support forum with an art subforum Unless i'm misunderstanding you, the OP was requesting a Tutorials+ section for pixel art, rather than a root subforum. :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PancakePaint Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I have made much pixel art before, and i'm probably advanced... but I don't think we need a subforum just for pixel art, like what david said.

Kraze. Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 All looks a bit hard for me :O ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epic epiphany Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Unless i'm misunderstanding you, the OP was requesting a Tutorials+ section for pixel art, rather than a root subforum. :? Yeah. We were actually discussing in the Umbrella for a while about it. Pixel art is so much different than all the other subforums under the Tuts section...
