BMP files suck. I've been scolded for posting a .bmp image up. .png works very nicely. .gif would work too. You can tell the difference by comparing the first and second you posted. |

BMP's resolution is pixel perfect (as far as I can tell anyway). GIF's aren't that great tho. With a BMP it stores each individual pixel color making the resolution as good as you can get with your monitor.
If you want some tough "art" try HEX drawing.
I made a BMP image that was 32 by 32 that simply said my name (AJ) and it took me about an hour and a bit. I made it from a blank HEX template. I had another BMP opened up in HEX so I could see the format tho.
Waste of time, and hard to do.
If you still have the original BMP image Dark Vampriel, either upload that, OR download irfanview and convert to a level 9 image of ANY format. This includes JPG's. It will give you lossless quality, but a larger image size. |

bmp might possibly be worse than jpg. Try png or gif.
Doesn't look bad, better than my first stab at pixeling.. but I don't quite understand the bars. Looks like they were bitten or something. |

Hmmm.... it's difinately a BMP file I saved it as but it ended up becoming JPG after I loaded on photobucket. Edit: Just uploaded onto imageshack. Hopefully it's better now.

It actually is a jpg. JPG's dither (that the right word?) the edges because it compresses the image slightly.
I like the bars, but the outside doesn't fit. It would be better if it were stones or something like that. |

I didn't save it as JPG and I knew not to. Seeing as it would end up looking very bad. I know what you were trying to say YD and I know it doesn't look right seeing as I was just messing around with my first attempt at something like this. |

NEVER SAVE PIXEL ART AS A JPG FILE
Not bad for a first try. The bars are odd. Shouldn't the bars look broken in the places where they're cut? The ends of the bars are jaggedy, but the cut parts are smooth. I worded that bad, I'm sorry. I'm not sure what I'm trying to say.. it just doesn't look right.

Trying my hand at pixel art, which I have no idea if this qualifies as pixel art. Basically just something random I came up with and in the middle is broken bars like something broke out. |
