In my chair I couldn't help about to think about workstages, as I was thinking of workstages. About workstages, as I was thinking about them, I was puzzled always as to there was never a real beginning. In my chair, I was puzzled and thought about beginnings as to where workstages, as they are true, should portrait stages of a thinking and progression. And in those workstages I was clearly able to see they hadn't anything to do with any working at all. Beginnings usually never hit the fast way of getting to the final result, just turning a few things. And as I was, in my chair, thinking about workstages I was curious on how on starts from a silhouette from nowhere but still precise about the subject. And as this workstage progresses, thinking from the chair. I could see something emerge from something which was already set as a workstage.

Thanks you for your wise words my friend.

You are talking about using MufflonGUI for converting the picture to NUFLI?

Now, you can use the NUFLI Editor by Crest, which I does not, or you can use the MUFFLON by Crest to convert a Free Hires Multipaint PNG, which I does.

But, incase you ever worked with the NUFLI format, you know the painful way.

NUFLI is a thankless format. Everyone who works with this graphic format knows this. Either you get gray hair while working with the editor on a C64, or gray hair when fixing all NUFLI clashes after converting time after time.

It's not just converting a picture and you're done. A lot of work goes into NUFLI picture. So, please take some time and also do some NUFLI pictures. Your welcome my friend!

Usually i wouldn't reply, but you avoid the topic, it hurts.

You use converted images for your collages, and suggest you hand pixeled them by your 'stages'.

Additionally; Learning tricks vs real skills summarizes it well ;)

I used both canvases of Multipaint to archive such a "layer" effect. That's why in the animation you will see a one color background. This color was use for transparency and so I was able to copy the one picture (The Quadriga - with only 2 horses) over the clouds background.
The clouds were an easy and cheap Multipaint trick. Set light blue as the color to paint over (called Recolor), paint white clouds and then use "Dither 7/9" with Recolor also light blue but use color grey to paint.
No GIMP, Aseprite, or other paint tools was involved.
I would like to see more stages from other artists so I could learn more tricks.

'Stages'? i'd say layers :)

Suggesting you pixeled this by hand is insulting to others. (like most of your images). Please be honest and transparant.

You make nice images though, you got an eye for design, and a good bag of Gimp tricks.
