Show off your Deluxe Paint / Personal Paint / Brilliance / Degas Elite / Koala Paint / Microsoft Paint / etc. oldskool pixelling skills!

(please include package used and hw used. I'd love to know.)

none of the oldskool paint packages have similar UI as photoshop, therefore they are all flaming pieces of turd coming out of buffalos asses etc

I use paintbrush at least weekly at work :)

please STFU. This thread is potentially 100x more relevant/interesting than the fucking GIMP thread you started. srsly.

Atari ST Lowres, 320x200, 16cols from 512
tools used: CrackArt & Photoshop 7.0
hardware: Various pc's running Steem emulator

Does GrafX2 count? Or is that too fake-oldschool?

what urs asked?

I would like to know what makes GrafX2 "fake" oldschool? For a more authentic experience, a 14" CRT display and 2-button mouse are recommended. And you may still be able to run the win32 version through HX-DOS or winedos. May need some patching on GrafX2 side, but I could do it if people *really* want it...

The only picture posted so far was made with help of photoshop...
...GrafX2 atleast emulates oldskool-pixeling (perfectly i wanna add!) and uses original resolutions, palette-restrictions, etc! (ok, havocs picture above aswell!)
PulkoMandy: our question raises from the Thread-Title! While now that i re-read it, GrafX2 absolutely IS an "oldschool paint package" ! (read it like "original software for oldschol platforms", mostly thanks to the first post by the thread-starter xeron himself!)

OK, before we get bogged down, I don't want to be too prescriptive in what is "acceptable" for this thread.

Personally, I just thought it would be cool to see some oldschool pixel art.

I find it more interesting if its done in original tools and hardware, but if its CLUT image done in a program that works like those old tools, I don't mind :-)

Damn, I was totally going to make this thread. I just hadn't gotten around to it yet.





100% TheDraw 4.63 :)



Deluxe Paint IIe (DOS) + Multipaint + some Photoshop (okay, a lot of Photoshop.) TMS9918 palette.

@jmph: nice

I guess the next will be the "Show what you do in Textmode/Petscii/etc."-thread! :)
This said: nice stuff with TheDraw there, jmph!
ontopic: I am @work, but maybe i find some time this weekend to post some oldskool-pic of mine!

@havoc: Nice work, shame about the subject..

@jmph: Nice!

@hardy: Please do :-)

Hardy: If you make another serious demo for A1200 in 100% ASM I'll make picture for it with 100% 1992 tools and hardware (from the better brand, obviously ;)). Deal? :)

In the meantime, here's another 16col job for which I didn't employ the Photoboogiemanprogram but Dstar took the honour :P

(To be precise, the original Nordlicht logo was made by Dstar in (I suppose) Photoshop, and I repainted it by hand using only CrackArt using only the outline of the original logo)

Havoc: i didn´t mean to attack you or something!
I just talked about the thread and its rules in general!
To me there´s nothing wrong with using photoshop btw, even for oldschool-art...as normally conversions need some retouch anyway...in an oldschool-painter most likely! (Or GrafX2(-alikes) as they offer possibilities to save in correct format and work like in original programs!)

About posting a pic of mine: i just had to find out my oldschool-stuff seems to be gone with that one harddisk i lost some years ago...there should be some CDs somewhere with that stuff, but i can´t arse myself now to search for those! :/ (i should do so soonish though...before those CDs turn into confetti or sth)

jmph: Kelw, next make it adhere to the screen 2 color limits :)

Stuff I made on MS Paint back in 2005 on a Pentium 4 notebook.






And some stuff I made in 2013 while toying with a PETSCII editor for Windows.

@Marq: yeah, I decided halfway through I couldn't be bothered to do that. :P It was more of an experiment to see if I could paint something nice with the palette at all & get a feel for how the colors worked together. Don't worry, I *am* working on stuff for it that will display natively. ;)

Played with this in 2015, but never got it to a point to submit it somewhere, so I love to share in this thread.

Oh, made in Pyxel-Edit. So sort of semi-oldschool tool. ;)

Has anyone done Hires EGA 16 out of 64Colors Pixelart ?
