First of all, this isn't a competition, it's just a thread to try to get people here to use paint in a way that you make detailed art rather than a scribbled piece of rubbish. Make anything you like but spend time making it, as they can take some time.

Secondly to actually know what to do, you need to read the tutorials, and I also suggest looking at PixelDam, which is a website set out as a town in isometric view where people make houses/shops/garden/whatever and add it on. Some of them are truly spectacular and must've taken ages to make.

[ Tutorial 1 ] (http://www.pixelfreak.com/v3/en/tutorial0.html) This is the tutorial I used to make my first pixel art building.
[ Tutorial 2 ] (http://www.natomic.com/hosted/marks/mpat) I haven't gone through this one myself but it came up on google and from looking at a couple of pages it should be helpful.
[ Tutorial 3 ] (http://www.deviantart.com/view/2866522) This one's reasonably useful too.

[ PixelDam ] (http://www.x-panded.com/pixeldam/index.asp)

Just have a look at these blocks at PixelDam:
[ Serene Watergardens ] (http://www.x-panded.com/pixeldam/blockinfo.asp?bid=203)
[ Castle ] (http://www.x-panded.com/pixeldam/blockinfo.asp?bid=208)

These aren't meant to be 10 minute jobs - the longer you spend making them, the more it pays off (although, do keep this thread active by posting things you have changed to whatever you're making). Let's see what all of you can come up with:).

Some of you might have already seen them but here's a couple I made. The first is the one I made when I started using the tutorial, and the second is one I did more recently after I started doing pixel art again.

NB: These must be done in paint (or any other similar program which doesn't use anti-aliasing or whatever it is).

Wow,that's looking good.*opens paint*

Question 1: I still can't find anywhere a nice guide to drawing cylinders in Isometric 3D (I'd like to know how to draw cylinders because, of course, I want to make 3D isometric steam engines). Any ideas?

Question 2: Why Paint exactly? If we promise not to do any fancy effects, what's wrong with another program (One, for example, that actually has a rational approach to object and layer selection)?

double post edit

Case in point. I admit that the Q1 had a square boiler casing (not that this is a Q1). But square wheels?

I've not done it in pixel art much (and when I have I've just winged it), but isometiric cylinders are a pain. Vertical ones are easy, as the circle is just squashed, but horizontal ones need a skewed circle, and that's not easy to draw. I think the best way is to do it a bit at a time, starting with the top and bottom of the circle, and the sides (where it's the same as a square, I suppose) and filling in the curves afterwards. We were asked to do it by first drawing a circle with a compass and taking measurements to be mapped onto isometric guidelines drawn with a 30/60 set square.

But that's from tech drawing class, not pixel art class.

Heh, we just cheated and used this template one of us found in a cupboard, saved a LOAD of time.

1. I'll have a look around
2. Any program which doesn't have anti-aliasing will do. I just couldn't be bothered to try and spell it:p

It's looking nice PP.

[ Tutorial 4: Circles in Isometric ] (http://videotuts.webcindario.com/videotutos/videotut7/isometric_circle_paint_matriax.html)

If that doesn't help much then improvise. That's what I did on the weird green thing I did on the rounded edges (although it took quite a while).

Another Tutorial, this one looks like it's very helpful and contains a lot about pixel art. Also note that for some reason clicking onto the next chapter will take you to the previous chapter and vica-versa. So click previous chapter to go to the next chapter:p. This tells you how to texture, create shapes, shade spheres, and even drawing people. I think this has to be a must read tutorial, infact I'm reading it now and that's why it's taken so long to edit this post...

[ Tutorial 5 ] (http://www.19.5degs.com/category/619.php)

Well, I'd say draw the circles inside the squares and clean up the squares afterwards...

But if you can see the tops of buildings, you must be looking down and you can't easily see the sky from above. Unless they're really tall buildings, I suppose.

In think hes doing the drawing from a angle... not sure though only the artist knows what hes doing...

Now i made more of this.

hey! that looks good! reminds me of a store counter.

Here comes more.

It's good but try to make it a bit larger, try doing a whole small kitchen :)

Why does the top of the worksurface change colour halfway along? Oh, and you should fix up the top-right line in the kitchen. But you're definitely getting somewhere.

Oh, and you should fix up the top-right line in the kitchen. But you're definitely getting somewhere.
I was a little too lazy to fix that. :p

Anyway, PP, the guy who did the 5th tutorial couldn't do the circles right. Have a look at the plates and the base of the chairs on the kitchen (Chapter 6). They look like they're tilted towards the 'camera'.

Anywho, after seeing that kitchen, I think I might try one - or maybe a whole house altogether (although no doubt, I'd give up half way through).

You know, all that pixel art is reminding me of Habbo Hotel *shudders*

Can someone post a piccie of the Team17 building. I'll draw that (or try at least).

I doubt anyone will have a picture on their computer (apart from Sel, probably). Have you tried www.team17.com ?

Jay pixel art! I alwaus wanted to draw like that, thanks for the tutorials star worms. Im now reading them, so i will post something too soon or later.

Anywho, here's my kitchen so far. It's far from finished, as you can see. I may not even make the cupboards wood after the trouble I had with texturing them - it just made them look like a wood colour which has lines going across it:rolleyes: So far I've given it a granite worktop and notice the slight gradient on the oven and compare it to the hood above it.

Nice start! I like that granite!

Wow that's really good :)

My first pixel stuff!!! :

Nice start, try and work on the lines - they don't look quite right. Constructive criticism: In some places on the cylinder it is more than 1 pixel wide. There's also a pixel missing from the top of the brick wall, and make sure that all the bricks are the same size. Very nice shading on the cylinder, but I think the colours on the sphere are too light/dark compared to eachother to make the object seem smooth. Try making the dark colours slightly lighter and the lighter colours slightly darker. Nice grass, but I think it could do with a few more light/dark pixels.

Edit: Also on the brick wall on the right hand side at the top corner, there is one pixel too many on the vertical line. This shouldn't be there because you only include the pixels which run along both lines (which is the edge of the wall which shows its depth (the one which is going across 2 and down 1)). Although that pixel is included in the vertical line, it is not incuded in the other line. If you can see, it makes the line go across 2, down 1 and across 3. Try and avoid these little things because they're more noticeable than you may think.

double post edit

Also, middle lines on the left and right legs of the table need highlighting because they are facing the light.

But he is right! It's very nice but that globe doesn't look very "smooth"

Much better:)

Here's my kitchen, updated a bit. I know there's not enough space between the kitchen worktop and the cupboards above it but I can't be bothered to shift it up now, maybe later on.

Here's my first attempt at a house with garden.

nice house! Here is my first house in the forest. Yes i know that the roof is oversized. I was just experimenting.
:edit: and another one

Now improved with gate and grass

Ok, let's face it, we are newbs at this. But we can make a little neighbourhood and place our newbie houses in it :). Can someone make a template for the 'hood?

Oh and i really want to learn how to make simple IPA people...

There's one over at www.blamethepixel.com

i thought the same when i started this. but you can copy and paste the lines also ;)

Nice work everyone, so ANYONE just ANYONE have a piccie of the TEAM17 building?

Rather than using black lines for the roof tiles/brickwork, use a darker colour than the colour on the surface. So for the roof, use a dark red for the tiles, and then highlight it with a pale red.

Edit: Actually there isn't enough room for the highlighting on the roof, so just use the dark red where the black is.

I made some textures,Feel free to use them.

They are. If that house were looked at from any other angle the roof would look rather daft.

Oh, and there shouldn't be a highlight along the top edge of roof-tiles. Roof-tiles are applied overhanging at the top, so rain water runs off them and onto the next tile, rather than building up between tiles where it might leak into the attic. Details.

I can't find any tutorial that shows how to make isometric people, [And don't tell me this one ] (http://www.19.5degs.com/element/836.php#e1)

Anyway,Good idea with the ice cream shop.

The sides of the big pizza shop are at 45 degrees, not 22.5 as all the other buildings in this thread are, and while that's not wrong, it would be if it were put in the same picture as all those 22.5 degree lines. You have to be consistent in any picture.

Well, unless it's a rhomboid pizza shop. And a huge one at that.

Oh, and the letters should really be drawn on the side using lines at the same angles, otherwise it looks like they're sticking out of the wall on little flaps. You can't just doodle anything in pixel art and expect it to look realistic; it's far more like technical drawing than sketching.

Lol, I'm not too good at details with anything small :p

I tried and this came out -
What you've done there is really more like drawing a worm using only lines at certain angles -- that's not really the same thing as isometric drawing. An isometric would mout be something of a pain to draw, because it would still have to be curved. Your best bet would probably be to draw an isometric "skeleton" in a lighter colour and then flesh it out. And then, only if you've had a bit of practice with pixel art.

What you call 'skeleton' lines are normally called construction lines.

Yes, that's the correct term. Thanks.

It's been about six years since I did technical drawing class, and a couple of years even since I've had to use it for anything important enough to warrant bothering with construction lines. I generally just wing it and it turns out OK.

Areas to improve - the brickwork and roofwork. For the bricks, don't make them all inline, shift each second line across a bit. The roofwork should just be like the brickwork but at a different angle and with different colours

Wow, that's pretty good. In fact some of the things people have done in what looks like quite a short space of time has inspired me to have a go. I've made an odd-coloured house at the moment, but I might try doing somehting a bit better.

Ta-daaaaaaa!

woa soo nice!

Ta-daaaaaaa!Wow, very nice. Reminds me of Locomotion :)

Thanks for all the nice comments, guys!

make more!Well, now I've cracked the Secret of Circles, I guess I could have a go at a pannier tank next (For those who still think in terms of Thomas the Tank Engine, that's "one that looks like Duck")

double post edit

Wow, very nice. Reminds me of Locomotion :)It does rather, doesn't it? That's one of the two great things about pixel art for me: it makes you feel you've just stepped into a retro computer game.

The other, of course, is the very mathematical aspect of it. I can't be told off for bringing maths into art in this field!

But in a cool way... :p

Nice train PP! The only thing I could suggest is making the smoke trail backwards, the train is moving after all...

Nice...

I feel in the mood for pixel art again.

Wooooooowwwww slow reply ;)

I don't think you can count "wow", because then it would have to refer to itself, which creates a paradox.

On the topic, I've made a pixelworm.
To you all that have seen my sprites, rejoice, for this looks nothing like them.

I would hardly call that an isoworm.

The house is nice though, and the proportions are right, though the worm is incredibly small.

Nice Iso stuff. Paul especially. Looks great!

What, compared to the house? What sort of scary-ass worms do you have in your garden?

Edit: Are you a character in Dune?

The house is nice though, and the proportions are right, though the worm is incredibly small.worm's the right size in proportion to the house

worm's the right size in proportion to the house

That's why I made it that size, thank you, Aku.

You could make the house a whole lot bigger, of course...

Have any of you guys seen PixelJoint? It's a really nice website where people can showcase their pixel art.

I'm registered there as Irate Corpse - check out my gallery :)

By the way, I know it doesn't sound like it but this is not bot-generated SPAM.

By the way, I know it doesn't sound like it but this is not bot-generated SPAM.Except in the sense that your character is a robot... ;)

Well, yes, he is a robot. However, that post was not SPAM generated by a robot. In fact, it wasn't SPAM at all. Therefore, it was not bot-generated SPAM, it was just bot-generated.

Nyaaaahhhhh *pokes brain covered tongue out*

SPAM as in the food, the forum-related thing, or Super Penut-Powered Astrotific Mouse?

I've got a bunch of those in my house, and the exterminator is no help.:p

And they mean the forum thing.

No two of those words rhyme.
No I meant read and thread

Read (past tense: sounds like red) rhymes with thread (sounds like thred).

Read (present tense/tense used: sounds like reed) does not rhyme with thread.

No I meant read and threadthe tense you used "read" in would be pronounced reed, not red.

Ahhhh I love pixel art.
I'm having a problem drawing people, both isometric and non isometric, so if anyone knows or has a tutorial pls post it...

There are some isometric tutorials in the first post.

those aren't tutorials on how to draw people...I've read and known those websites quite a long time ago...

I don't know about tutorials, but there's examples of simple pixel people at http://hello.eboy.com/eboy/?cat=27, also useful for a bit of inspiration. Click pictures to enlarge for the full benefit of it.

I LOVE it.

as i play golf in real-life

as i play golf in real-lifeI'm sorry for your loss :rolleyes:

Golf is great. Especially when your brother hits the ball onto the wrong green where people are trying to putt.

It's more fun when you hit the ball into someone's face.:D

Funny how some golfers love the silence but then theres someone screaming around the golf course, and then they get all mad and ****ed off (y)

...specially when the person is screaming because he got hit right into the face by someone else's shot! :D

I hate golf.
BUT! i LOOOOOVE MINIGOLF! :p
so fun smacking the crap out of that ball on the small course and watching bounce off all of those objects and windmills and people and windmills :p

I'm rather a fan of playing pitch and putt, and I watch most of the major tournaments.

Ryder Cup coming up. Can we stuff the Americans again?

I used to play golf. I had a half-set of clubs and used to go most weekends.

These days I prefer golfing on a computer. I'm currently 1st in the pro tour of Nintendo Touch Golf. It's really nice and should probably be mentioned in the DS games thread if I haven't already.

I'd say I'm a fair challange at Super Monkey Ball golf minigame..

Played that for the first time yesterday (I bought Touch 'n' Roll)

Had a rather mixed round - a few birdies and even one eagle, but a lot of double bogeys and two ten-stroke retirements as well...

Forget Monkey Ball, Golf will really be reveloutionary when on the Wii.

Does the remote not need a line of sight to the TV, then?

I thought it was a sort of wireless, motion sensing lightgun.

Apparently not. I know there's a sensor strip you can put under your TV for it. I don't know what that does. There's a light gun in it, so that needs a line of sight, but then, it would. But by the look of the golf demo, some part of the motion sensor doesn't.

My guess -- and that's all it is -- is that the tile/motion sensor (the two are equivalent) doesn't need a line of sight, but the absolute position sensor (insofar as such a thing can exist) does.

There's a saying in most sports, and that is "keep your eye on the ball".

I fail to see how a virtual golf club would work if you can't see either a) the ball or b) the clubhead.

Presumably the rate at which you swing it gives the power, and hook and slice is determined by how straight you swing it. It's not ideal, but what golf game is?

Golden Tee Golf is ideal ;)

I made a more pixel of thing:

I don't think so.
You put a thin-strip-thingy on the top, and then it can figure out where the controller is in space, and can detect it's movements.
So it doesn't have to face it, but I think the black sensor on top has to be open. For instance, when using a television remote, you can hold the thing backwards and you can still change the channel, but cover up the sensor on the top, and it doesn't do anything.

I remember seeing that somewhere...what is it from?

Transformers.

It's the autobot logo from Transformers :P

Everyone should know that!

TRANSFORMERS....MORE THAN MEETS THE EYES....TRANSFORMERS...THEY'RE ROBOTS IN DIS...
oh sorry
got a bit carried away there.

AUTOBOTS WAGE THIER BATTLE TO DESTROY THE EVIL FORCES OF THE DECEPTICONS!

Bah, it's contageous!

I've started on a new project. Here's a sneaky preview. Can you guess what it is yet?

28351

Is it a robotic ninja nun?

isometric brick wall of destruction and doom?

The scaly back of a platinum dragon?

That's definately a brick wall.

I'm not quite sure if it will fit in the neighbourhood.

i tried making an pixel worm..

I can't help but like that. It reminds me of Head Over Heels, back on the Spectrum.

That would be good, if it wasn't so blocky.

That's pretty cool. Has a sort of "chunky" feel to it. Certainly the best 3D pixel worm I've seen so far.

thanks :)

It wasn't meant to fit in the neighbourhood. I was going to make it fit onto the BTP map. However it looks like it's going to be quite tall so if I did put it on there, I'd probably have to use 4 squares, making the 2 squares off to the left and right pretty blank.

And yes, it's a brick wall.

Forget Monkey Ball, Golf will really be reveloutionary when on the Wii.
Even more realistic than in real life!

It is only then that people will suddenly think that the Wii isn't even worth touching!

No, that was not intended whatsoever.

That's good stuff, they're much smoother now. All I can suggest is to clean the edges a bit as there are a couple of cases where the edge has an extra pixel it doesn't look like it should have like on the right edge of the lip and the right edge of the forehead.

Anywho, another preview...

28360

It's coming along quicker than I thought. The main problem though will be the colouring. At the moment the colours are just there to make it look like what it's meant to be.

is this better?

Try without the eye outlines... I threw a quick one together to show you. It's not as good as yours but it shows how nice eyes look without outlines. The first is with outlines on the outside of the eyes, the second is with outlines on the insides, the third is without outlines.

im working on the "misplaced" pixel thing..

hehehe, i made something like that before seeing this post :p
'shaded outlines" i'll try the eye thing later today..
28362

a try out with walking worms (damn hard to do...)
28364

and a little animation out of boredom
28363

Jebus, nice! And wahey, me! I like the outline-less one, but it's a bit unclear in places.

28362

Very nice.

The statue's the best because it actually feels like a statue.

thank you, thank you :p not bad for a first timer eh?

Really nice stuff. I think the one with a shaded outline could do with the outline being a bit darker though, I think it blends into the background too much.

Those are spectacular.

That's great stuff!

I think the statue would look a little better if it was grey rather than pink (because then it would look more like a statue).

Other than that, funky.

Those are most impressive, Wormthingy. Keep it up.

how about, gold?28383

or just plain rock...28382

I bet in the end you'll have to give it to itself, it's spiffingly marvellous.

Give your worms a little isometric scene to play in, and I reckon you've got a Fanartist Of The Month entry there.

mm.. that might work...

The bottom is all screwed up so I'll have to redo that...

Infact so is the roof but that can be fixed easier.

good work man! nice detals.:)

btw.. woulde these do any good in building a worms 3d like landscape?

I thought I could try giving this a go, so I made a cube.
