I always loved looking at pixel art so I decided to give it a try, and realized its even more fun to do (although it takes a bit of time:-\ )! This is my first go… I want to piece together a sizeable city - anyway, here’s the first building… comments/suggestions gretly appreciated!
I dunno really… just kinda tried it out… once you get the angles, then its like legos. I’ve always been a fan too, so I am sure that helped a bit. So basically I just dove into it.
That’s cool. I’ve drawn similar stuff with Flash - the grid came in very helpful, let me tell you. I never realised how difficult isometric drawing could be…
I made it all in photoshop7 using the 1 pixel wide pencil tool zoomed WAY WAY in. You could use MS paint to do it just as well, but I like having photoshops history window to use and layers are sweet for dividing all the different elements up.
hmh… 1 pixel grid… zoomed in!
I could do that but if I zoom it in then I make something and then look at the whole picture (zoom 100%) then I see that I’ve made a teeny tiny picture!
so… gotta keep trying but not now… I’m totally depressed right now… often finding myself near the TV after hours of useless sleeping…

why is that my friend? Can we help you out of this?
Do you want me to call Phil? I´m sure he´ll manage to cheer you up somehow. I have the horn, just say I and I will blow it and Phil will be here in a sec.
well if this helps I just noticed that I reversed the light source on the support posts for the building… how I could make everything with the right shading and miss one of the most obvious points is beyond me! doh!
ok here is the deal, when you get there, look around, its all done in MS Paint :P. and also, on the main page, set your clock to night or day and stuff, watch what happens! he and my buddy did a good job on this!
