I Heart Pixel-art
Posted September 27th, 2007 in Illustration.
A friend and colleague, Teemu Matinlauri, recently did up a set of smilies for my forum (well, our forum – it’s pretty democratic), pictured below:
It’s actually pixelart that first got me interested in getting a graphics tablet. I wanted to make a little, 2D side scroller after having used a tablet to do touch up work during my old job as a graphic designer.
I used to do quite a bit of it, and still do for the handheld game publishing company for which I work during the day, but seldom for personal use anymore. I think that I get enough of it before I get home.
Teemu’s smilies are so awesome, though, that I felt the need to give one a shot:
It’s been awhile, but I still heart you, pixelart.

I’ve got it. I tend to like Graphics Gale better, but it’s Windows only. Phooey.

Nah – I don’t have time to make all the necessary emotions right now. I do plan on having several sets on the forum, though. Any participant that did a set up will be included. We’ve had four or so dudes make them, but implementing them is another story, heh.
