Yeah.

The picture in the mirror just makes me think of Rupture.

Ripped from latest Impact Compact Demo Disk but i don't think it's Alan but mostly Sybex who originally made this font.

i think i ripped it from Sound-Disk by Impact Inc.

done by Sybex.

Yeah, I agree. There's always something and at some point I get tired of working on the pic.. i was thinking of uploading the unreleased picture I originaly made for Outline but ended up making Mr. Marvin in 5 days instead.. oh, heck. I'll upload it. I'll never enter it in a compo anyway.

Oh sorry bracket I misread what you first wrote, I thought you were talking about a 24bit color space but I should have read 32 colors from a 24bit palette. Anyway, your steps were informative (at least for me).

You've gone far in terms of dithering and AAing, especially to smooth curves, I can see the hard work in it. For the nitpick part, maybe some diagonals (head cracks) could use more AA...

you can find the in progress version of the pic from here: http://low.fi/~bracket/accession/brc-mr.reed.zip the phase* files are all using the 24bit palette. The picture was always 32 colors or less but the palette of those 32 colors was 24bit. Process is basicly pixel the picture with the 24bit palette using 32 colors, then load the picture with emulator using Personal Paint on OCS amiga and the tune the palette so it looks ok and the save it. After that you can of course edit it more on pc if you do not change the palette. There's no magical dithering algorithms or anything like that. Just a lot of hard work.

God, this is so sick. I'm ashamed by just watching at this picture of mine. )))))))))) Guys, 7 points??!!!!!! For whaaaaat? Thanks anyways. ))))

lovely, casper

Hey, that's my trademark! "Sick Green"! ;P

Green is the new white.

Really like the color mood, sounds classic. And for the nitpickers around, I also think there are too many greens in this palette.

@Bracket: Please, can you provide a link to the original 24bit image, in order to understand where you came from. I'm interested in the process.

It's indeed hard to believe that it was entirely pixelled (of course depending on how we define "pixelled"). IMO, some areas seem super-smoothed too much, lots of redundant colours among the 114 palette (after removing the logo), and giant colour ramps.

I don't really know what were the tools on a 1998 machine but _IF_ we had 24 bits tooling available, this photo-realistic (also reasonably assuming that its a redraw from an existing photo) pixel attempt makes not much sense to me, in terms of pixel creation.

Overall, this is how I appreciate this image at the moment, back to 1998 I may have been more enthusiastic.

If someone has a step-by-step or additionnal infos on the process that lead to this image...

I liked this one from the moment i saw it. Space looks so filled with particles, you can almost feel the thickness of it.

What would be the point of making and oldskool entry with modern 24bit palette? plus, it looks better, when i worked with it, it had 24bit palette and after I converted it and tuned the palette on amiga it looked better.

It's hard to think it's a pixeled work.

you're right... i'm more or less blind sometimes

Like a photo!
