err I checked the site, but they have no idea what is a pixel art. they think anything that can be represented with pixels is pixel art. most of the pictures there are done by photoshop. pathethic |

Indeed. That link is about modern video game illustrations. Though the definition of pixeled art is not undiscussed here either ( referring to the whole conversion/photoshopped pictures matter). |

Well, we could still kick their asses with our hardcore bitmaps, show them who really is boss. They use special multimedia tools, we use our brains. ;-) Art critics will wet their pants when they see our hard work. |

This is game concept art, and it doesn't really have anything to do with the scene at all. The situation was another one in the early 1990's when the scene was a common recruting base for the graphics side of the games industry - back then you really had to know how to pixel. Now these people have no idea about what pixelling consists in. It's really all about the brushes. I do both pixelling and PS-stuff, and I can tell you that there is a huge difference. Pixelling, of course, is much more fun. ;) |

Err, does it anywhere on the site claim to be about pixelling? I got the impression that it's an exhibition about modern game art, not oldschool pixel art. Can't see what's lame about that. Or is pixelling the only acceptable art form? |

yes. pixel art is associated with pixeled/pixelized images and not with PS. |

Radiantx: I'm just talking about scene relevance here.
But PS pixelling/painting/whatever is absolutely valid as an artform. |

Oswald: The exhibition doesn't claim to be about pixel art. It's just an art exhibition called "Into the Pixel". |

ah right, sorries. "into the pixel" art exhibition, and not "into the pixel art" exhibition... :D anyhow I can hardly connect these images with computing and "pixel". |

About this exhibition.
It seems at the time you posted about it here in the forum, d0c, it was already too late for anyone to send the submissions. I am awaiting some answer from the organizers and if we are lucky they might be able to push the deadline.
In that case there will most likely be something from James, even if it might be old to our eyes... :)

This is the letter I recieved. Better luck next year, all you crazy c64 artists :D

Hi Eddie,
Are you an artist? Were you wanting to submit art to the jury? If so, you will need to wait until next year. We have just announced the artworks selected for the 2007 Collection. (See www.IntoThePixel.com.)
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Best,
- Pattie |

then hopefully great artists from csdb will bomb them with c64 gfx next year..... some of the gfx here at csdb will do great on big posters and placed on a wall for everyone to see :)
or maybe csdb should have their own art exhibition?...

And who's gonna decide what is art or not ;)
I'd say, it's to the sceners - they have all possiblities of passing the sceneborder. |
