·•● Pixels by Kina ●•·
Hey all, I just thought it might be nice to go ahead and make a gallery here, too (though I have in fact made one once in the past, last year I think). I guess I'm gaining some sort of reputation for my pixels these days so it's about time I put them in a thread for the masses to see. :3
I'll start off with pieces from this year:
Base version of this month's MPC entry.
Winning entry from one of the WPCs
Winning entry from July's MPC
Now for a little history lesson on how I got to this level. Sort of. Here are some spoilers full of pixel art sorted approximately by year:
2009
Spoiler:
Here began what I call my Pixel Renaissance. I didn't make nearly as many pieces as in '06, but they were definitely of a higher caliber. I really think that, like this year, PC's contests are what fueled my motivation to pixel things more than anything else.
2007
Spoiler:
Didn't do much that year. The pixel binge I was on petered out for some reason. I didn't pixel again until spring of '09.
2006
Spoiler:
2006 was easily the year I really discovered the joys of pixeling, and made tons and tons of little pieces. Notice how quickly it became obvious to me that Pokemon spriting was pretty boring, and that pixels have so much more potential than what many people here limit themselves to. Though, I suppose it wasn't till '09 that I really started reaching out to higher levels.
2003
Spoiler:
These aren't really quite pixel art (I used some bitmap texture fills and the type tool), but they're the earliest attempts to work on a pixel-by-pixel basis.
