This tutorial demonstrates the settings and steps you have to take to configure Photoshop for pixeling. I originally published it on my website, however I think it’s better suited here for the blog. I also updated it a little and added a small bit about the crude animation capabilities of Image Ready. Feel free to post any questions here concerning the tutorial or pixeling in general.
I just recently heard Request Line by Rockmaster Scott & The Dynamic 3 for the first time on WeFunk Radio and today I discovered this awesome 80s video for it. If they had made only one rap video in the 80s, it definitely should have been this one. Unfortunately the lyrics are cut short in the video version.
I’d like to present a couple of nice downloadable console games that have recently been released. Here’s a quick run-down:
I was looking forward to 1942: Joint Strike (Xbox 360) ever since it was first announced earlier this year. I finally downloaded it a couple of days ago and was eager to try it out right away. However, the game fell flat from my expectations. I really liked the older 1942 series games, especially 1942 itself and the highscore battles I associate with it. Joint Strike however just has too many flaws to live up to its legendary predecessor.
Check out my brother‘s “new” album – it contains a couple of electronic tracks he made from around 2000. If you’re more into acoustic sounds, you may also want to check out his earlier album released under the Hobo Twang monicker together with a friend.
I created the strange cover art for MFTY2K by the way. I should do more stuff like that, I’m really out of practice. However, my internship will start on Monday, so that’s definitely going to give me the opportunity to get back into drawing/pixeling and all that stuff I couldn’t do much lately.
