This is what I've been doing at work this week. It's actually kind of fun, as long as they're just still images. If I had to animate them I wouldn't be happy.

Sweet job, Hen.

Good eye keeping the outlines thick, and the contrast high before shrinking. A lot of people don't consider that before downsizing, and they lose a lot to the raster resampling. They look great.

Since we're sort of on the topic, I love pixel level artwork. and I'd love to see the board members try small res pieces. A friend and mysefl (at another community) used to limited ourselves to a few hundred pixel dimensions, and see what we could crack off. Great exercise for people used to painting on huge canvases to learn stark detail.

Anyway, there are still a few at http://salvagion.com/doc_o
Nothing downsized, worked at that level.

When I get my friend's permission, I'll post his amazing gallery of low pixel pieces.

Again, great work Hen

DarkGarden- Thanks. We (folks who work with me) were impressed with your games.

Gambit- they're for a little rpg called Dragon Court.

Agent- Thanks. Yah, I'm GreenPeach. (Ted) I wanted to use a name that would incite more respect.

Cool...Did you put that much detail into all of them? <-- refering to the large scale version. Wow

Pretty cool, I like the that big one. Its a shame they have to be reduced so much.

So which name am I gonna use with the link??

Nice work on the pictures, looks like you know which parts need to be worked so it looks good once sized down, without extra effort.

Could we see a big version of the.. what's it's name... the half horse half man-thing. Centaur!

This nick really gets you extra respect :Q

Gecko, I'd be honored. On my birth certificate (and my site) it say's Theodore Galaday. Use that, @ redandorange.com.

I wasn't sure which centaur you meant, here's 2.

agent44 · Posted: Fri Apr 27, 2001 9:40 am

I liked the name GreenPeach.

Glondus · Posted: Fri Apr 27, 2001 9:49 am

Awesome! I immediatly thought: Exile! Played that game? Great old RPG game with characters like these. Allthough, that was some time ago, so they were hellufalot uglier than this...

Gecko · Posted: Fri Apr 27, 2001 10:29 am

thanks, damn nice work with not going overboard with details. I'd have trouble with that :]

agreed with agent44.
