how to draw C64 on a pc?
On lemon recently a few of us have been advising someone who wanted to try c64 art on how to go about doing it on a PC.
this lead me to thinking that I too wanted to know this info last year so why not do a thread on it which hopefully many current c64 artists will contribute to and then maybe we will have a very useful "kickstart" to anyone interested in starting or returning to c64 graphics.
there is one oldschooler who shall remain nameless atm who i spent some of yesterday trying to coerce back into the saddle :)
so i'll kick it off, theres are bound to be additional steps i have forgotten but here goes: |

Hi again, I have no intention of hijacking this tread but in relation to the previous posts I'd love for more people to try my editor. Briefly, it's a low level editor, perhaps not suitable to all graphicians but in time I hope it will please more people. At the moment it's a development/alpha version and feedback to me is not ignored. Just PM or email me for a download link.
It's not a secret but I just don't want it publicly released just yet as I want to be able to support it well.

Well I was sure I replied to this thread ages ago, but guess I was wrong :P
For what it's worth I use GraFX2 (new open-source port of an old DOS app) for all my pixel work, C=64 included. I use Dawnbringer's c=64 test script to highlight any mcol errors.
Lastly I use png2prg found right here on CSDB.
Here's a screenie:

I highly recommend GraFX2, it's free, very well done and quite similar to DPaint or Brilliance on Amiga, but with extra stuff like layers, scalable UI and powerful scripting.

Hi. Tried using Vice on a mac with Wigmore Artist 64 - my old tool of limited choice :( - but Neos Mouse emulation doesn't work. What's the Gimp experience actually like?
