Damn, I really want the Blood red one or the green one but I have to pay rent this week.

Your mods look amazing, so clean!

Looks nice!

It would only cost you an additional $17.75(plus shipping) to make the buttons(D-pad+A+B) and power switch clear.

I know you've probably already seen this but here are the links anyway -

You don't really need to do this, your DMG already looks really cool!

I wish someone made clear start/select buttons.

And it might look cleaner if you tried to route your pro-sound wires differently, you don't really have to do this because I know how hard it is to get those damn wires to stay where you want them when putting the guts back in and closing the DMG's shell.

And if you want to add a page1 LED to your EMS cart check this out -

I can help you out with the page1 LED mod if you want, I know a few tricks about this mod because I've done this mod a bunch of times.

Also I can also hook you up with some really cool custom/modified ROMs to put on your 64m cart if your interested.

I really like the mods that you did to that DMG, keep up the good work!

I don't really use dithering or anti-aliasing that much because I don't like to over-complicate my artwork.

But I do apply many of the techniques that I've learned making other forms of art to my pixel art and I'm always researching and experimenting.

And I'm constantly looking for inspiration everywhere possible.

Most of the pixel art that I make is for use within GB and NES ROMs or just for personal fulfillment.

How do you guys/girls go about making your pixel art?

I call the FakePanda image "fake" pixel art because it could be passed off as "authentic" pixel art(drawn pixel-by-pixel) even though it was actually created by altering an existing image with help from image editing software(even though it did require some amount of skill and manual pixel placement).

I understand that your definition of pixel art is - art drawn by hand pixel-by-pixel comprised entirely out of pixels, correct?

I would consider the BalloonGirlReplica "authentic" pixel art that fits within your definition of pixel art because it was actually drawn by hand pixel-by-pixel.

I rant because I haven't slept in days and I apologize for getting off topic.

I brought up ethics because the Panda image that I used has been notoriously stolen and misused by many different artists without permission from its original creator(most people who are familiar with the piece don't even know who the creator of it is and they attribute it to being created by Banksy even though that's completely false).

And I also spoke a little about my views on ethics(and the use of other people's artwork) because I've read many other posts written by people in this community who have a very strong view on ethics(and the use of other people's artwork).

I would like to inspire other artists to make both "authentic" and "fake" pixel art and to post images of your work here.

I kind-of want to tell people that its ok to steal/use/modify other artists works but I don't want to compel them to use other artists works to seek praise, fame, or money.

I should really try to get some sleep, I can't even think straight or spell properly.

Everything feels completely discombobulated.

This is the same image scaled up 400% for your viewing pleasure.

Enjoy!

I drew this entirely by hand.

I used Banksy's original(as seen painted on the Israeli West Bank Barrier) only as a visual reference, I did not use any cheats/shortcuts.

I only used a 1pixel-pencil-tool and black/white-colors.

(well I did crop my drawing once it was finished but there's no harm in that, right?)

I think this has become a debate of old-school vs. new-school, hand drawn pixel-by-pixel vs. modern computer-aided techniques.

I embrace both.

As for "merits as pixel art" - think what you want, I don't really care what you think, I don't post my artwork to seek praise and if you don't like my work whatever, I just hope to inspire others to pursuit creating their own artwork.

I feel that my artwork leans toward the old-school hand drawn style if you look at my entire portfolio.

The stuff that I've posted here is a very small selection of my recent work.

Recently I've been using the new-school style because I've been experimenting with many different things and I'm not opposed to taking help from a computer.

I fulfill requests for ROMs with hacked graphics regularly and these new techniques have really helped me save lots of time and effort.

I'm pretty sure that everyone who has taken advantage of the services has been extremely happy with my work.

I'm always taking requests for any kind of graphic artwork that you may need as well as for custom/modified GB and NES ROMs.

My services are free of charge for "good" requests.(Good being acceptable ones that are within my power to fulfill)

If you want something feel free to ask.(serious requests only, please)

I'm not trying to steal any thunder from artists who spend ridiculous amounts of time drawing pixel art pixel-by-pixel, I actually have lots of respect for them because I spend ridiculous amounts of time drawing pixel art pixel-by-pixel too.

I'm going to continue posting my work here and I hope to see your work posted here as well.
