I haven't done pixel art since I stopped doing graphics for mobile games, quite a few years ago.
My current workplace is revamping its website, and pixel art was considered as one of the accents. Sadly, after poor Pixelloid here was made, we realised that pixel art wouldn't quite fit the style.
So alas, here is my wonewee widdle wobot. Snurfle!
Lieutenant Thackeray: "Archery is more than just a physical strain on the body. You need to work on the mental aspect as well."
Shining Blade Ranger: I am working on the mental aspect! But somehow I just can't hit the target!
Shining Blade Ranger: Look! I missed again! I was no-where near hitting the target! *slumps dispiritedly*
...meanwhile, a nugget observes that the archers have neither bowstrings nor arrows. Dooobeeedooo.
A wonderful tool for picking colour variations in any given colour scheme.
It's presented as something for web designers - but I think any visual artist will appreciate this. =)
I love this song. And also, incidentally, Kurt Nilsen. Elin Gaustad's new to me, but she's got a lovely voice too. =)
One of the things I get asked, (generally at work and whatnot), as a 'social, conversation-maker' type question is - so what sort of music do you like?
I tend to say I like quite a few different things... but if I mention 'folk' (which I know, I know, is a horribly broad category to use), all I get is totally blank looks.
People familiar with this song (which is still alive and well!), may not, in turn, realise that it's probably a Scottish folk song which has been sung in one form or another for the past 400 years. Scarborough Fair is another good example of a popular song that goes back to the 1600s or so, that isn't commonly identified as a folk song.
Scarborough Fair's particularly neat, because it's sung with the man asking the lady to win him back - which was really quite transgressive for the general period in which the song was written. For loads of interesting little details (and nuggets! ahem),have a look here. Grain of salt of course, since I'm 'quoting the intarwebz!'. Also, I don't think that site was the originator of the interesting information... but I can't find the original site anymore. Ohnoes. :(
It's odd what a clothes fetish I have in Guild Wars, when IRL, I don't buy all that many clothes! I really, really love how GW divorces how the armour looks from stats. I also love how GW isn't much of a gear based system at all, but I digress.
Interestingly, I have guy friends who also delight just as much as me, if not more, in Barbie-fying their characters (whether male or female). ~_o Funny how, because it's virtual, it's not 'playing with dolls'! (Not that there's anything wrong with that...)
Right! Sooooo. New clothes for Glorious McNugget that I picked up a couple of weeks ago.
