The Pixelling Cow - Beta
In the last two weeks I was working on a personal web project in my free time. Hope some of you will find it interesting and/or useful. This is the first stable release, so expect a lot of changes/additions in the near future. I'll keep you updated.
--
ThePixellingCow is currently the most comprehensive database of Commodore 64 scene-related pixel-art.
At the moment, it hosts 6201 images, 1497 artists and 475 events.
It is basically a periodically refreshed mirror of CSDb's graphics related content, but with an accessible and clean UI more suitable for graphics-related content. So, for those who are interested in specific graphics-releases: now you could find them faster and easier.
It's still far from finished. Consider it's present state as a beta testing terrain.
TPC needs help!
At the moment, only one person is doing all the work, so any kind of support would be highly appreciated! Especially in the following areas:
- general functionality testing
- flagging/removing duplicates (there's a lot of them, as parsing CSDb wasn't always going smoothly)
- correcting data (same as above)
- adding missing artists, releases and events
- tagging (the collected data could and will be cross-shared with CSDb later, if it ever introduces the tag functionality)
- ripping graphics from various releases
- suggestions, ideas always more than welcome! |

Been browsing it for some time now and I must say... Just love it!
Though there's similar sites, they aren't half as fast, intuitive and easy to use as this one!! |

Quote:you've probably not implemented the PAL color blend amongst lines, but doesnt matter.
yeah, its just the part of PAL that contributes most to the final result =P
i tried to check eds "play with colors", but somehow there are just 7 pictures related to him? *shrug* |

Perhaps a better solution would be an ImageMagick filter? I was experimenting with layers in Photoshop with some satisfying results, maybe I'd able to reproduce the effects server side... Well, not a priority anyhow. The TV mode is more a novelty, I never intended it to be an essential feature :) |

not sure if that could be done with imagemagick easily... you'd have to convert to YUV and then mix UV on every other line, keeping Y out if it. |

Added navigation buttons for even more convenient browsing. And now you could permanently enable/disable TV mode. Both features require enabled cookies.

Step prev/next by artist/event/date/gfxmode and random. |

weee, wish csdb would dev so fast :) please add thumbnails and make the function graphically more obvious, I had to look for like 20 seconds eventho you told me its there :) honestly I expected it to be under the picture.
edit: its a bit annoying that the buttons change dimensions, you cant just leave the mouse over them and click click click to get the pictures :) |

This is a really fantastic resource, and much easier to browse artwork than on CSDB :D |

Maybe useful?
What about a database for each picture with keywords.
Example:
Commando
Keywords:
1. Commando
2. Arnold Schwarzenegger
3. Hero
4. Fighter
5. ...
Could be a help to find similar pictures and more. |

Good suggestions, will fix soon.
@Shine: tags are in development, hopefully I'll introduce them early next week. |
