PE: Pixel Artist Interview with MrBeastDesignThe last of our interviews, I bring you Pixel Artist =Beast-Design!:iconclefairykid: How did you get started in Pixel Art? Was it your first medium or did you work with something different before discovering it?:iconmrbeastdesign: My dream was always to make PC games. 7 years ago (at the age of 12) I started to make modifications for the game Clonk, since I needed graphics for those modifications I first learned image manipulation with GIMP and later 3D graphics with Blender. These skills were purely practical at first, though they made me interested in Art more. 2 years ago at the age of 16 I tried pixel-art with the idea in the back of the mind that it could be useful for future game projects (by that time I already became proficient at C++ so the idea of coding my own game wasn't far away). :iconclefairykid: What is the thing you love the most about Pixel Art? What makes it stand out from o
PE: Pixel Artist Interview with SirAzriaApologies again for the delay with this article, today we have the talented spriter and pixel artist, =zerudez!:iconclefairykid: How did you get started in Pixel Art? Was it your first medium or did you work with something different before discovering it?:iconsirazria: Hmm, well Pokémon got me into Pixel art. It looks fun and so I tried it out. Didn't really like it at first because it was hard ;^; But I eventually got the hang of it and got more interested in pixel work/art. I worked with other digital art before testing out pixel art. I'm glad I experimented with it! ^^:iconclefairykid: What is the thing you love the most about Pixel Art? What makes it stand out from other art mediums for you?:iconsirazria: There's just something about pixel art that's so... awesome. I don't know.. it's just really cool that you can create these fantastic images, big and small, from pixels. It stands out because it's differe
PE: Pixel Artist Interview with ValaSedaiApologies for the delay with this article, this time I bring you an up and coming pixel artist called ^ValaSedai:iconclefairykid: How did you get started in Pixel Art? Was it your first medium or did you work with something different before discovering it?:iconvalasedai: Pixel Art was the third medium I explored, after traditional and then digital drawing and painting. Even though I have played a broad selection of games whose graphics are made mainly from pixel art ever since I can think it took dA to really introduce me to creating it myself. After stumbling across more and more wonderful pixel artists on here I couldn't resist and had to try it out myself as well.:iconclefairykid: What is the thing you love the most about Pixel Art? What makes it stand out from other art mediums for you?:iconvalasedai: The precise and minute way of having to place each pixel, the way even a single differently placed pixel can change t
PE: Pixel Artist Interview with Ice-PandoraToday I bring you an interview with an isometric Pixel Artist by the name of ~Ice-Pandora. :iconclefairykid: How did you get started in Pixel Art? Was it your first medium or did you work with something different before discovering it? :iconice-pandora: I started in 2005, back then my pixel art looked a little bit different than what I'm making these days. Less cute and more non-isometric! :iconclefairykid: What is the thing you love the most about Pixel Art? What makes it stand out from other art mediums for you? :iconice-pandora: I love pixel art because you can create such great detailed art in a small amount of space and only by pixels. :iconclefairykid: How long have you been working in Pixel Art? Do you feel like it's hard to learn or relatively easy to pick up or somewhere in between? :iconice-pandora:
What is Pixel Art? [Index]This as initially going to be one very large article, but I decided it might be easier for everyone if I split it up, it means I can get onto releasing bits that are done without people having to wait for the slower sections, and hopefully means you'll end up with a neat little index of resources that you can go to for almost anything Pixel Art related. It also makes it much easier for new sections to be added later, if new ideas come up. This will be updated with links to each part as I get them up (please be patient if the section you want isn't up yet, I'll do my best!).The Definition of Pixel ArtWhat is Pixel Art?
