Lazyboy164 Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 well im really just posting this because its so Frigen annoying to have to keep repeating it. Pixel sigs are done in MS Paint (Microsoft Paint) or just Paint, almost all computers have it so you dont have to download/buy it. There drawn pixel by pixel (a pixel is each one of those tiny little squares). They can be in many different styles, depending on how detailed/cartooney they are. Correct me if im wrong, but usually the outline is done in black, and then the shading/colouring is filled in. They take a VERY long time to make. Most people who like pixel sigs, like them because they are made 100 percent by the artist and not by some program. Im not even a pixel artist so im not quite sure, if anyone wants me to add something I will. Can we get this stickied or something because it is getting REALLY REALLY REALLY ANNOYING. Also if anyone has questions post them here too. Lazyboy164 - 126 combat - 16 99's - 2215+ Total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson_3 Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Might want to tell people that MS Paint is Paint... the program that comes with every computer.. to my knowledge anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterxman Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Also add that they need to be saved in .png for good quality and low file size. Formats like .bmp make huge file sizes, and .jpeg have a horrible image quality despite the low file size. (Off topic-Lazy sorry I still don't have your avatar done, I hope by later tonight, tomorrow at the latest, had to go do stuff in RL so didn't have time until now) Pixel sigs by me.Pixel Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson_3 Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 .GIF owns .PNG and this topic is pointless. naw.. save as .png first, then later resave in photoshop as .gif, otherwise it loses colors... also not pointless if it gets stickied, or bumped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Exziz Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 GraphicsGale is a good pixel program, a sort of paint but with more things, it's free to use. Can be downloaded from this site: http://www.tempest-j.com/gale/e/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keiphus Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 GIF only loses color when you save with more than 256. Most pixel artists barely use 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknownmasterofnothing Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Theres nothing wrong with gif, unless you're saving in paint. As keiphus said, its 256 colors. Plenty for pixel art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
