Description This is a Step - by - Step Tutorial of how I made my sprite for my pixelID: [link]

A few people asked my how I did it~ So I decided to make this. I hope it helps people who are still in the process of making their Pixel IDs!! ...or just pixeling in general

Just a disclaimer, this is the way that I pixel, it's by far not the only way, or maybe even the easiest way~ but it's what works for me.


*** ALSO! This Tutorial: [link] helped me out a lot when I was pixeling. Definitely read it if you have time!

Was wondering how everyone made those... That's frickin' amazing. :3
I don't have Photoshop, so is it possible to do this with another program?

ProdigyBombay In reply to MakingBelieve [2007-08-07 02:28:03 +0000 UTC]

There's a freeware program called graphicsGale for windows that will let you pixel.

You can also use MSPaint, but it doesn't have layer capabilities, etc. So it'd be a lot more tedious. You can also use any oekaki applet to pixel.

Thanks! I think I'll try it on MSPaint before trying anything else. Thanks again! ^_^

I got a question for ya... Did you have any problems installing the arcadepix into your WINDOWS FONT folder? If not then how did you do it?

ProdigyBombay In reply to deathsyte [2007-08-07 01:23:33 +0000 UTC]

I actually installed arcadepix into my windows font folder, but it still didn't show up in photoshop. I had to install it into photoshop directly.

mishinsilo [2007-08-06 21:13:36 +0000 UTC]

this is nice - i enjoy the image
but its pretty high res for pixel art. It wouldn't make it into a game as pixel art because its too huge and has too many colors. games that needed pixal level artwork were trying to save on file space. They had a limited color palleted and and of coarse limited resolution. Anyway I'm getting way too technical for something that was intended to be for fun.
you have beautiful art btw!!! *.*

whenever i hear the word 'ixel' i just think of the images in gameboy....
so i never gave it much thought, but your style on pixel is mind blowing!

now i really want to do a pixel ID, or pixel art!

thanks so much for sharing this!
