Beads and Pixel art

A search in google got me to this article about Perler beaded pixel art. The examples there are really nice, and the links to Flickr really take you one step forward.

Reading about them, and seeing the discussion in Digg about it, is informant too. The fact that is was written more than eighteen months ago does not take anything away from it.

Sifting through the info, I also found a link about how to make your own sprite coasters, which was interesting and very colorful.

From there I got to an even more colorful site, full of game sprites, called videogamesprites.net.

another Pixel Art creation

Reddit spawned another Pixel Art creation, described as "Probably The Best Pixel Art on the Web". I highly disagree with such a statement.

Sure, the huge picture (broken into several medium sized ones) is nice, its total size is huge, but just that by itself does not qualify, in my view, as supreme over other Pixel Art projects out there.

There are many styles of Pixel Art. And I will credit the creators of this one as doing a most elaborate job (which takes a bit too long to download, if you don't mind me saying), which probably took many hundreds or even thousands of hours of work to get done.

That being said, I encourage such work and creations, as they are rather rare to find, even on the web.

I will add, however, that I find I like the works of the people at www.eboy.com a bit more to my taste, and not just the fact that they let you download their images (different elements).

You be the judge, check them out both.

Pixel City Creator

Pixel Art is a fun new art form, thriving in the information age. I can't tell you exactly how long ago it was create, but I can point out that over the last two years there have been more and more artist who choose they kind of art to express themselves.

Some examples come to mind, and this one's my favorite.

Some call it Isometric art, others Pixel Art. I like to define it be example, and the best one is Eboy. That's what I call Pixel Art [picture to the left].

The guys at Eboy never cease to amaze me. Their work is high quality pixelated scenes of many different type, cities, space, past, present and future. I check out their website from time to time, only to get so many more examples of how good they are in this new form of art.


For a while I've wondered how one can get started in doing pixel-things, but the new City Creator solves that problem for me. Simply drag&drop ready-made pixel creations into your own version of a pixel city [top picture].
