# Ah
You are the voice that all people engaging in pixel art (and similarly insanely time consuming activities) must ignore.

# i like it!
maybe a little too bright... but that's just personal preference

'Tis a bit washed out at the moment, but once it's properly textured it'll be a bit better. And when it's full of furniture and stuff that will tone down the brightness too.

# Nice, good drawing.
Was it really that colour though?
(I helped save b3ta! fool_on_the_hill, Sun 10 Apr 2005, 21:34, archived)
# Not really
I had to use the colours avaliable to me in MS paint!
edit: I know how to change them now!
edit: what did you use to create yours?
(I helped save b3ta! Squiggy Alloria makes theme parks., Sun 10 Apr 2005, 21:35, archived)
# Ah, I see
All the more respect to your drawing in that case.

edit: MS Paint to do the basic outlines of things, then PSP to do the colouring and shading, and to put stuff together (God bless layers).

# Dot matrix Printers
were great if you were a programmer, you don't get continuous tractor feed paper for inkjets!
