Hires
Some time ago I started dabbling in standard Hires mode and i find it quite enjoyable. Also people seem to like the stuff i put up on CSDB in hires mode.
This makes me wonder why not more graphicians try to use it. Imo it is pretty easy to get a hang of and quite enjoyable.
Opinions? |

Personally, it's very easy to answer this question: I'd most likely suck in pixelling hires. :D
On the other hand, I simply don't like too much the overall look of hires on C64, but that's just a matter of my lousy taste. |

Hi Ptoing, i fell in love with it aswell..
And after this weekend you'll see how much exactly ;)
Anyway, great mode indeed, but the aesthetics are somewhat different. And i suppose most oldschool pixelers like the bling of gradients too much.
Nonetheless, there've been people using that mode, i recall Hollowman and Twoflower having done some stuff in it. Also in the nineties it was quite a popular mode in Poland and the eastern scene afaik.
Still i haven't seen a singlecolour picture using the restrictions as smart and stylized way like you did. |

Nice, looking forward to that Sander. Also i know that Helm has a hires pic in the works that will blow your socks off :) Should be done soon as well.
Perhaps we can start a little hires revival :D |

Hey Hires :)
Though not an very experienced graphician I love hires as well.
All those (great though) new 'modes' make me love plain hires even more and its IS very powerful. I'm working on a few these 'days' and hopefully one or two will get out soon.
A word of caution: im the greyshade kind of guy.
ptoing, must have a look at your work :)
Hopefully evil code will be (since it can be) done in hiresmode. Also working on that, but well...
So looking forward to new hires stuff.
Mmmh how nice - I thought I am the only one :)
Someone into Tapes maybe too? :)
Hires-pixeling is indeed relaxing...

Personally I love hires graphics (and other hires formats, such as afli). My personal favourite graphician when it comes to hires is Twoflower, but your pictures were really cool too.
My upcoming demo has some really nice hires + afli graphics by Twoflower, DCMP, and Hollowman. |

I think I gave Hires a shot in the 90´s.
No matter how I tried,it always ended up looking cartoonish.
And that´s not what I like to paint,paper- or C64-wize.
It´s cool to look at when it´s done properly,though. ;) |

Triangle and Xakk also had some great hires pictures in their demos (e.g. Road to Excess and Bound to be Best) |

yes, but iirc those were single-color Hires (thought very nice ones, just saw Road on Excess two days ago).
But Id love to see drawings that actually use the power of hires :) |

That's the thing though isn't it. To many - myself included, it's all too easy to think of hi-res as monochrome. Producing ahi-res picture with lots of colour and no visible attribute artifacts takes a lot of planning. Anyone who even tries has my respect! |

finally someone does this :-) I have this idea sticked into my mind since a year or so, that someone producing only hires pictures with color could really move the pixel scene. check some speccy compopix and learn some respect. |
