From the Dawn of Time – Pixel Art

computers, dawn of time, pictures, retro 3 Comments »

Inspired by the FANTASTIC piggy I drew earlier, I decided to have a look for the previous “pixel art” I’d done about 12 years ago on the Amiga. I shouldn’t have bothered – they were far worse to look at than I remembered.

There was a system on the Amiga for higher quality (than standard) icons for programs, games, files and folders called NewIcons. I’d installed it on my Amiga, but couldn’t find icons for a few things. So I created my own.

NewIcons had two states too – clicked and not-clicked, so each icon needed two images.

Anyway, here they are!

Amazing, I’m sure you’ll agree.

Oink!

I drew a piggy. Properly drew. Pixel by pixel. My first pixel art!*

He’s certainly a happy looking piggy!

*Not technically true. I’ve drawn little stick men before. And, more importantly, I drew some Amiga NewIcons once. They’re on Aminet somewhere. But that’s another post!

PC Plus changes their target audience

I only subscribe to two magazines – EGM, and PC Plus. In fact, I’ve cancelled my renewal for PC Plus because I don’t actually have a PC any more, but I still have the end of the subscription to run.

Imagine my surprise when I opened this month’s issue to find, along with the usual scammy scratchcards and flyers for home insurance, this:
