I missed where the idea that they're not copyright came from... unless there's some specific reason they will be. Do it anyway tho.

On the plus side I discovered LSD designer Osamu Sato made a later CD-rom game which looks if anything even weirder and has an even more obscure sequel too! http://obscuritory.com/adventure/easter … -tong-nou/

Also he made a couple of kind of cute but alas not very good iphone apps for drawing with shapes/faces sad

I was going to mention his other game, but I couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called. All I knew was it had a "B" somewhere in the title, but even that was wrong.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG NEWS his impossibly rare unreleased Eastern Mind sequel Chu Teng has been found and shared! I found this document (hope it's OK to post it here) with links to the download plus pretty much everything else he ever made!! O__O

Reallly interesting stuff, thanks for posting! I prefer the non-religious Eno quote tho smile

Also rather than 'plugins' per se  you might find more useful stuff googling "photoshop pixel art actions"

Slightly off-topic but some people might find it useful re: retro/pixel image converters: HyperDither is a standalone free OS X utility recreating Bill Atkinson's truely beautiful black and white dithering algorithm from HyperCard: http://www.tinrocket.com/hyperdither/

It wasn't advice.

You asked what pixel artists used plug-in-wise for photoshop, the answer from several pixel artists is that they DON'T use any special plugins, but rather use particular photoshop techniques, or use other software than photoshop. This is advice, good advice.

Also, as with noise and most non-mainstream/non-club electronic subgenres, the only way to make money/run a 'business' with it is selling the gear used to record/perform/release it, not by recording/performing/releasing it. big_smile

Serious answer to troll OP: it's, like most music subgenres/sub-subcultures these days, not a 'market' at all in any real sense, let alone an "industry".
