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? |

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. |

Speccy is similar to hires but you have the only light ot dark in each character thing going on which makes it quite a bit more hardcore than C64 hires.
Here are 2 pics I made.

Some old games like 'Law of the West', 'Hardball' and 'Card Sharks' use this mode aswell. |

ptoing, respect.
btw your secondly posted picture boosted an idea in me.
a converter which would use the basic hires mode, and would fill the char places only with characters built into the c64 could produce some funny pictures :D |

That would indeed be funny :D
I made a picture using c64 characters some time ago in promotion, but i did not know about the restrictions of the textmode, so it wont work on a real c64. In extended mode with rastersplits perhaps :/
