In Tribute to the Meticulosity of Pixel Art

I could not resist posting this page that I located while search for "pixel art" on alltheweb.com.

Here is an hours and hours exercise placing dots. Isn't pixel addiction some new kind of embroidering?. What else could it be the effort of illustrating ideas, objects with little dots and limited number of colors?. Our grandmas and mothers used cotton, now we use lighting pixels on the screen. Well, wait the image to load and you will see what I'm talking about.

More stuff about Pixel Art

I am really going to figure this out. (But I cannot draw, so it will probably be ugly for a while)

I have checked out some stuff from http://www.ourcall.org and have gotten the PixelationZoom tool from www.blackeye.org.

Another tool that I have started to look into is the GIMP, now that's cool stuff.

I am looking into Pixel Art now, BUT this is...

As I roamed the web tonight, looking for examples and tutorials on creating pixel art, I ran into the REAL world's smallest website, weighing in at 16 pixels by 16 pixels.

First I said, "Cool!', then I said, "Huh??", then I said,"Cool", again.

It's a novel idea, but I don't see 16x16 in the future of my projects.

Go to it .: dot16 :. The REAL world's smallest website
