Trying out a little bit of pixel art at the moment. It's very far from complete. I can't seem to get the base of the monitor right. If anyone would be kind enough to post a pic of a flatpanel monitor so I can use it as a guide...

Anyway...

That looks awesome, Shannon! 👍
How do you do that? Just use the rectangular marque tool to make a box then fill with color? Or do you use the magnetic lasso?

I use the Rectangular Marquee tool for the selection. I use the Line Tool or the Stroke Layer Style to outline the objects, and to give them a perspective, I use Edit > Transform > Perspective.

It looks like paint because it is pixel art. This could very easily be done in MS Paint, but no, I'm using Photoshop.

Shannon, I believe you're using PS 7.0?

I could do it in MS Paint. Although it would be harder. Yes, I'm using PS 7.

Alright:) I might give this little thing a go tonight. Maybe I'll do my monitor?

The monitor and keyboard are on a different angle to the tower, I know. That's how it was supposed to look, but now you mention it, it does look a bit odd. :irked:
 
I started again and put everything on the same angle. Also, I'm not working with Perspective now as its hard to make everything look right.

Yes, but I am no where near done. I'd say about 1/8 finished, and I had 20 layers. I merged some of them so there is only about 9 now.

Build it with a 3d modelling program. You'll get much better results:D

Yes, but I haven't installed 3DSM yet and I only know how to use basic modifiers to make some abstract things.

On a side not, I formatted my HDD (again :grumpy:) and forgot to back up all my work. I couldn't be bothered starting again (not now the I have C&C: Generals to keep me occupied :D)...
