You made this in Paint??? O.o That alone got my vote XD Paint can be a serious pain to work with >.> Anyway, this is totally awesome :]

I know what you mean, if you want to rotate a sprite then you need to move every 2 pixel sized column one way and then every 2 pixel row the other way. When you do this on something as big as a bridge you wast a hell load of time!

I bet! I used to use Paint to draw stuff, and then I used Adobe Illustrator for the first time.. There's no comparison between the two. I used to be pretty good at using Paint, but after using Illustrator I just can't do it anymore lol The Window's 7 Paint is a lot better than the 98 Paint though, it has come a long way. But it can still be pretty frustrating Xp

I think the win 98 paint was more controlled but the new win 7 paint looks like it is made for kids because they put useless things onto it like the soft brushes. (The old one had clean shapes) They did put one nice thing on the new one, the ability to zoom out past 100% for when youβre doing big images. To sum up paint in one word (as you said) "frustrating"!

Yeah, I liked 98 Paint because it was so simple. Win 7 Paint just seemed to add a bunch of "fancy" features and stuff. But I think what makes Paint so frustrating is that it doesn't have layers or objects. Like as soon as you put down a color on a pixel, that's it, it's now part of the picture. It's fine for small things, but for bigger things, it can be a reeeeal pain when you want to change something. You can't just pick up an object you drew and move it (easily) XP

Well i gess thay both have there good and bad points and this has been an intelligent conversation even if it was about a free art tool. Back to Illustrator, It looks like a less shiny photoshop so well done for useing something that professional!

hahaha yeah XD I love Illustrator so much.. It's actually a lot more different than Photoshop than most people think. I think Photoshop is best for photo-manipulations, effects, editing, painting, stuff like that, but I like to use Illustrator for typography and drawing. I like Illustrator because it gives good, clean lines, where Photoshop can get kind of pixelated with type and lines. But it really depends on what you're doing....and how much computer memory you want to spend on making high-res pictures. In my opinion, Illustrator is a lot easier to use, but Photoshop can do some really neat stuff :]

Photoshop is what I'm wanting to get when I have a good computer and I understand why people find it unusual. I was told that if and when I get Photoshop not even 10% of its features will be used. I understand what you mean by it not being a vector art program most of the time, and it can take a lot of understanding. Think of it like this, you can do next to everything other programs can do, but you will be lost (with the complexity) at how to do it. You may need some photoshop extensions like more fonts / type faces to be more professional with typography.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, that's true. And It is absolutely overwhelming, all the things you can do with Photoshop. It is one of the most complex programs of it's kind.. It really is true that you'll only use about 10% of what it's capable of. You could spend years trying to learn it all, but I think that's what makes it so great, the possibilities are practically endless. Plus there are a lot of tutorials out there if there's something specific you want to do with it. Tutorialized.com is a great resource for Photoshop, Illustrator, and a bunch of other programs.

Good point about the tutorials because if im stuck then there must be at least one person who is to. That site even has gimp (im useing gimp for vector art) so its usefull even now.

Yeah, it's a pretty cool site

Thanks, i don't take full credit for it because i found a simler image but i made it easy to understand. (and did it in 8-bit)
π: 0 β©: 1
i also like the front design too! ^^ the back was just funny! XD

Thanks again it was all my good but old pixel art sprits slapped together.
π: 0 β©: 1
thats ok!

I find its more time consuming than anything so at times you're right.
π: 0 β©: 1
wow, well it sure is worth it even if it sure takes a long time!

Thats a tough one because thay can both take a lots or not so much time but all in all I would have to say Pixel art. Animating is normley done by squishing or moveing parts of one image but pixle art can be simple to. [link] things like this would take a hell load of time. but would be quick because the computer did most of the work. long story short; it depends on what your doing (something like CGI will take forever)
π: 0 β©: 1
thanks i never thought of it that way. guess it really depends on what you're doing. and yeah those 3d-ish ones must take a long time. i was thinking more along the lines of those traditional ones though(disney movies like snow white etc.) those ones really inspire me, since the movement is so flowy and its traditional. but digital ones are great too.
OMG that picture you showed me must have taken the artist such a long time!!!!!! looks good though. its great to see how much effort is put in it, i want to accomplish something detailed like that one day too.
π: 0 β©: 1
Full on movies would take a very long time to. Even when movies use traditional art it gets re-drawn for the computer most of the time so thay can treat it as a digital image. If you want to go in to short movie makeing for DeviantART there are lots of things hear to help you, and there is lots for pixel art to. (but all you need for pixel art is paint)
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, movies must take so long! O.o and yeah it would take sooo long doing it traditional then finishing off digital! D: but it seems so worth it!
i'm pretty interested in animation. I haven't uploaded any on here, but I've tried doing some. I might check some tutorials, because I get really stuck on how to draw one action to another. and walking and simple things like that.:/ i think its really interesting to learn about it though. ^^
thanks for the info.

Brilliant design, so much going on but it works together so well and is very eye-catching. I especially love the text you use, easy to read but looks awesome. I voted but this deserved more views.
Could you please check out my entry? [link] I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for your comments, I learnt to do pixel art text at 4 points (4 pixels high) but I think if it was all 4 point it may be hard to read so its nice to know it works.

It is certainly unique but I do like it.

This design is pretty cool! voted!
Could ya take a look at my designs please
[link]
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks, your first design was the best because all the rest are very simler with things like all useing the DeviantART logo on its side

π: 0 β©: 1

Of course..there are always better and worse designs. And I'm not really the sweater type girl

That means a lot to me so thank you! Im not much of a jumper person myself because i can feal hot just in a shirt. (im talking about the top harf of my body with the just a shirt thing)

The problem is that not neccesarily the best earns the most vote..I've seen it on the cute monster design contest...popularity is a mean thing. But i wish you the best
π: 0 β©: 1
I think i stand some chance on this one because the top 100 get juged by staf and not as meny people will enter this 8-bit contest because its an uncommon art now.
