PIXELART ROBOT ICONS

I spent a few hours this morning trying to pixel a robot head in 32x32 and failing miserably. I was never the best graphician in the world, but it seems my pixeling skills have deteriorated even further.

This was triggered by a thread on the binaerpilot forum called "PIXELART ROBOT ICONS ONLY", the subject referring to the avatars used.

Eventually I came up with the one displayed here. Pixeled in Deluxe Paint II, which runs surprisingly well in DOSBox.

bliss - 8bit

It's been a while since I posted here. Obviously because I'm too lazy to create interesting new things. So, it is time to dig up old 'successes' and delude myself into thinking that posting those is somehow a contribution to society.

About the only actual demo/intro I worked on as a member of bliss is a 64k intro called '8bit'. With a little help of .kkapture it can now be seen on blip.tv.

Quaristice

The new Autechre album, Quaristice, is being advertised on bleep as having "exclusive individual track artwork designed by the Designers Republic."

An interesting idea in these times when people shuffle all their tracks on their video ipods instead of listening an album from start to finish. And indeed, if bleep hadn't mentioned it, it would have been a nice suprise. But now, when advertised as something noteworthy, the experience is rather dissapointing. I'm used to artwork by the Designers Republic being minimalistic, especially on Autechre album covers, but three squares in blue, black and white in various arrangements?

I have tried to quickly convert the rules used in these individual track images to code, and the result is this, a quaristice track artwork generator (just refresh the page to get a new randomized image ;).
